Opportunities

Street and Sidewalk Enhancements

Bike lanes and signage where appropriate

  • Traffjc calming interventions
  • Wide sidewalks set back from the road
  • Infrastucture maintenance & improvements

(crosswalk striping, accessible ramps, sidewalk repairs, etc.)

  • Amenities for comfort & interest (seating, art, etc.)

Linking Streets and Parks

Permeable, engaging park edges to pull visitors Easy connections between activity nodes Obvious access points for parks Clear signage for healthy street connectors

H I G H S T H A L L A V E A M B O Y A V E To Woodbridge Rudyk Park Bike and Pedestrain Trail Waters Stadium Francis Street Park Basketball Courts Ashley St Thomas St Alpine St Jacques St Myrtle St

Celebrate Park Entrances

More visible park entrances to encourage visitors in (signage, colorful visual cues, etc.)

  • Create park entrances where there are

existing “desire paths”– informal worn paths created by repeated foot or bike traffic

New Pocket Parks

Small green oases that increase City open space, particularly in underserved areas

  • Provide social and recreations hubs
  • Engaging destinations along long streets or

dense urban hardscapes
