uses (commercial retail, business employment) and residential densities throughout the day, and access to pedestrian / Integrated Community Circulation System connections. To ensure that the transit corridor is protected, at the NSP Bylaw stages, rights of way adjacent to 170 Street and 25 Avenue will be identified and protected in the text and on the map, ensuring the opportunity for this linkage to future LRT stations or other major transit centres. Bylaw 15805 July 18, 2011 A second potential future transit centre is identified immediately east of Terwillegar Drive and north of 25 Avenue SW integrated with the District Park Campus. This location provides opportunity to combine sustainable transportation with regional facilities and services. Future development will incorporate Transit / Pedestrian Oriented Development principles that encourage increased transit ridership, use of recreational facilities and programs, pedestrian / trail connections, and linked commercial services within an attractive and comfortable pedestrian environment. Initial transit service will be encouraged through the provision of attractive, comfortable and convenient transit waiting areas and stops. Introduction of these facilities with the development of each neighbourhood increases the probability of extensive use of public transportation modes. Opportunity exists to incorporate additional transit terminals within the ASP as future demand warrants. 6.5.2 Pedestrian Connectivity Pedestrian connectivity is strongly encouraged throughout the Windermere ASP utilizing Transit / Pedestrian Oriented Design principles. The intent is to enhance the open space system to provide a rich quality of life for the residents. The provision of attractive bicycle and pedestrian trails and linear parks linking the neighbourhood amenities and open spaces, as well as the regional trail network along the utility corridors and ravine system, will encourage the use of ”green” modes of travel for short trips or recreational purposes. Emphasis on pedestrian connectivity within the Windermere ASP therefore supports sustainable development through enhanced accessibility and travel modes, attention to urban interface / design, and respect for the natural landscape. Sidewalks will be provided along all arterial roadways, collector and internal local roadways in accordance with City policies and practices. As shown on Figure 8.0, pedestrian linkages and or walkways will be provided to connect sidewalks along the internal roadway network with stormwater management areas, utility rights of way, commercial, business and public facilities. The Windermere ASP will encourage connection to multi-use trail corridors where feasible and sufficient width exists (i.e. at least 2.5 m). Additional opportunity exists within the Windermere ASP to establish community greenways at the Neighbourhood Structure Plan stage. Greenways, or linear open space corridors, provide Windermere ASP November 2012 Office Consolidation 76
esidents accessible mobility options (i.e. walking, running, cycling) while encouraging a healthy lifestyle and high quality of life. These may incorporate roadways or buffers, utility rights of way, school / neighbourhood parks, stormwater ponds / lakes and land near top of bank. As a result, greenways provide opportunities to: integrate / add wildlife habitat and corridors, enhance natural areas, access recreation and open space amenities, integrate pipelines, drainage courses and stormwater management facilities, maximize undevelopable land, and provide convenient pedestrian linkages within and outside the plan area.
