-improve the natural urban trail connection north-south within Seymour. River Heritage Park, with a focus on the Seymour Greenway Trail.
POLICY , PLAN DEVELOPMENT Support a diversity of housing types including townhouses, row houses, cohousing, live/work, and apartments in mixed-use buildings in the Village Centre.
Community amenity spaces should be flexible and should promote physical and social inclusivity, and meet the needs of a variety of user groups (e.g. seniors, youth, families, and the general community)
Promote rainwater collection infrastructure in the design of all new buildings.
Consider how impacts of development can be minimized on-site and without impacting adjacent habitats
Create attractive, streetscapes that are universally accessible, safe and comfortable for pedestrians and cyclists and that include places to sit and meet.
Create plazas and gathering places with sun exposure, that are safe, attractive, universally accessible, have a variety of seating opportunities, and include spontaneous play features
SS W W O O T T
-a build-up center with its own services - existing network - the land of the new district is a forest -not enough open spaces in the village center -unique urban structure, characteristics( that reflects its physical location, topography, and history ). - escarpment slopes , and remaining forested regions - waterbodies around the district
POSITIVITIES -linking the new district with the center of the village
-There is potential for creating views across the Burrard Inlet form taller buildings depending on the height, siting, and orientation of buildings -The new design fits well with the surrounding areas -’’from people to people "
NEGATIVITES -no clear access for vehicles between the new district and the center of the village -no solution for the flood risks -the design has not been applied in reality
