  7. So How to Better Integrate? Improve links: Transit Community Plans Transit Future Plans / Service Reviews OCPs, RGS/RSS, Climate Action, Transportation Development process Design Support infrastructure Bylaws, permits Development referrals Amenities

  8. So How to Better Integrate? Improve links: Transit Community Plans Transit Future Plans / Service Reviews OCPs, Climate Action, Transportation, Sustainability Development process Design Support infrastructure Bylaws, permits Development referrals Amenities • PLUS Lived Experiences: • Harlene Hunt, City of Quesnel • Drew Hadfield, City of Campbell River • James Bryndza, City of Abbotsford

  9. Transit Supportive Design Many aliases: TOD: Transit Oriented Development TOC: Transit-oriented Communities Walkable communities Pedestrian-oriented communities Livable cities

  10. Transit Supportive Design What do we mean by this? Or: what does a transit supportive community look like?

  11. Transit Supportive Design For communities of all sizes Walkable, pedestrian-oriented *500 metres* Higher density Mixed use, mixed modes “Street as living room”: amenities, frontage Complementary road network Pedestrian connections Think in corridors, keep it flowing: Avoid “peninsulas of development” Try not to isolate major destinations

  12. Highlight: Corridors

  13. Highlight: Connected blocks

  14. Highlight: Street as Living Room

  15. Integration: BC Transit Transit Future Plans / Service Reviews Implementation plans Local plan review, participation Development referrals

  16. Transit Future Plan Assesses challenges and opportunities Existing transit system, OCPs, RGS, other plans Future population, employment and travel trends Describes the future Envisions public transportation network in 25 years Creates a transit network based on layers of service types Describes priorities, infrastructure and investment needed Seeks to increase links: land use and transit investment Seeks to engage, inspire stakeholders, decision makers, public

  17. Service Review Assesses challenges and opportunities Existing transit system, OCPs, RGS, other plans Future population, existing employment and travel trends Describes the future Three - five year focus but within longer outlook Creates shorter and longer term options, different service types Describes priorities, infrastructure and investment needed Seeks to increase links: land use and transit investment Seeks to engage, inspire stakeholders, decision makers, public

  18. Implementation Plans Created as funding approved Determines required details Detailed routing, schedules, bus stops, marketing, training, operational needs Chance to reconnect with and reinforce: System performance Land use reality / changes Community plans Planned developments

  19. Development Referrals Sent by local governments to BCT BCT assesses and responds (Somewhat) standardized process Connects: Developments to existing transit plans Other BCT departments, especially capital Gives realistic transit outlook

  22. Amenities Development an opportunity to enhance transit system Bill 27: Changed Part 26 of the Local Government Act Supports climate action initiatives within Community Charter Opportunity to use money paid in lieu of off-street parking spaces for sustainable transportation infrastructure Can determine special classes of parking bylaws Can create development permit area guidelines: See: http://toolkit.bc.ca/tool/development-permit-area-guidelines Also:_http://www.portcoquitlam.ca/__shared/assets/Sustainability_Checklist2040.pdf

  23. Your Thoughts Development Referrals How would this fit in with your process? What should the thresholds be?

  24. Your Thoughts Development Referrals How would this fit in with your process? What should the thresholds be? Amenities How many can you think of?

  25. Local Government Experiences Harlene Hunt, City of Quesnel Integrating Modes: Quesnel’s Riverwalk Network Drew Hadfield, City of Campbell River Integrating Plans: Master Transportation Plan, Transit Future James Bryndza, City of Abbotsford Integrating Development: U-District Plan, supporting bylaws
