Cy Becker Neighbourhood Structure Plan - City of Edmonton

Objective (22). Locate and orient commercial sites along arterial or collector roadways to ensure
high visibility and convenient access opportunities.
NSP Policy Implementation
The Community Commercial site shall be placed along
arterial and/or collector roadways, transit routes and
along major pedestrian corridors to ensure high visibility
and accessibility.
Figure 7.0 – Land Use Concept illustrates
the location and the conceptual
configuration of the community
commercial area, which will be confirmed
prior to the rezoning approval.
Rationale: The community commercial site is located at the intersection of 167 Avenue and a collector
roadway in the central portion of the neighbourhood allowing for convenient access to commercial
activities.
Prominent frontage along 167 Avenue and the collector roadway are significant components
influencing the location of the commercial site. The site provides opportunities for access from arterial
and/or collector roadways, minimizing traffic shortcutting through residential areas, and maintaining
appropriate traffic patterns and volumes within the neighbourhood core. The location of the
commercial site is also within walking distance of residential areas and accessible by internal pedestrian
linkages.
Technical Summary:
No specific technical requirements were further identified.
3.2.9 Transportation
The overall transportation network within the Cy Becker NSP is based on the provision of efficient
vehicular, transit and pedestrian circulation. This is conceptually illustrated in Figure 8.0 – Pedestrian
Network and Figure 9.0 – Transportation Network which identifies the roadway network and
alternative circulation system that accommodates the movement of automobiles, transit, bicycles and
pedestrians within the neighbourhood and the connections to adjacent communities.
Objective (23). Implement the City of Edmonton road hierarchy system of an integrated arterial,
collector and local roadway network.
NSP Policy Implementation
A well‐integrated system of arterial, collector and local
roadways shall be established for vehicular and
pedestrian circulation within the NSP boundaries and the
adjacent neighbourhoods.
Rationale:
Road right‐of‐way and arterial road
widening shall be dedicated to the City of
Edmonton in accordance with the NSP at
the subdivision stage of development.
The transportation network has been designed to meet both the internal and external traffic flow
requirements generated by the neighbourhood in accordance with City of Edmonton’s guidelines
and standards. A hierarchy of roads are intended to facilitate the efficient movement of vehicular
