DISTRIBUTION
At
the request of Councillor Carra, and with the concurrence of the Mayor, the
Acting City Clerk distributed copies of Councillor Carra’s proposed amendment
to Schedule ‘A’ of Bylaw 26P2014, as follows:
- Document entitled “Amendment, Schedule A of Bylaw
26P2014”
- Page 8 of Schedule ‘A’ containing a map indicating
“Remove Pathway on East Side of Seton Way”
AMENDMENT,
Moved by Councillor Carra, Seconded by Councillor Magliocca, that Schedule
‘A’ contained in Bylaw 26P2014, be amended as follows:
a) On
Page 8, Section 2.3 Land Use Concept, Map entitled “Land Use Concept Map 2” by
removing the pathway on the East Side of Seton Way, as reflected in the
distribution entitled “Rangeview Area Structure Plan, 8”; and
b) On
Page 36, Section 6.3 Internal Street Network, following sub-section 24, by
adding new sub-sections 25 to 28, as follows:
“Pedestrian
Realm
25.
To ensure a comfortable pedestrian realm adjacent to Arterial streets, the
following elements should be provided adjacent to Arterials consistent with
the Complete Streets Guidelines (2014):
a) a continuous clearly
delineated pedestrian environment ; and
b)
enhanced landscaping.
Internal Arterial
Streets (does not apply to 212 Avenue SE, 88 Street SE, and 196
Avenue SE)
Arterial Streets
internal to the Plan Area must serve multiple functions. They need to
provide for an active pedestrian environment and integrate into the community
street network, while still safely accommodating forecast traffic volumes of
cycling, transit, passenger vehicle and commercial truck traffic.
INTENT
To
promote an active pedestrian realm along arterial streets internal to the
Plan Area
Policies
26. To
promote an active pedestrian realm on arterial streets located internally
within the plan area buildings should be oriented with windows and doors
facing towards the street.
27.
To
complement
the active street frontage and support the
pedestrian realm adjacent to internal arterial streets,
the following design strategies should be evaluated where applicable, at the
Outline Plan/Land Use Amendment stage, and implemented within the
right-of-way if deemed appropriate by the Transportation department (subject
to the Approving Authority):
a)
allowing
on-street parking within the typical arterial right-of-way to complement
adjacent proposed land uses (provided the anticipated
traffic capacity can still be accommodated);
b)
separation
of through-traffic from local traffic via liner streets or other design
solutions,
c)
street
and street-side design elements that reinforce transition into an urban area
with consistent and appropriate design speed such as gateway features;
d)
Intersection
designs that increase pedestrian safety and security such as avoidance of
right turn channels, smaller corner radii and coloured pavement markings in
crossings;
e)
Allowing
reduced spacing of full access intersections and/or mid-block
right-in/right-out access points to create shorter blocks and better
integrate with the surrounding street networks.; and
f)
Maximum
design speed of internal arterial streets shall be 50km/h.
28. Design
innovations for internal arterial streets must be to the satisfaction of all
stakeholders, including the General Manager of Transportation.
And
further, that the drawing, footnote and Figure 2 photograph included on the
distributed document entitled “Amendment, Schedule A of Bylaw 26P2014” be
added to Schedule ‘A’ following the new subsection 28.”
