B-Line Corridor Vision Statement

From October to December 2010, seven citizen focus groups were held in the various neighbourhoods that constitute the corridor study area. They were asked to describe their vision for the future character of the corridor. The outcomes of the focus groups were presented at a public visioning workshop on January 11, 2011. The group discussed the themes, suggested additional themes and identified which themes were most important for the corridor as a whole.

Following the Workshop, a draft vision statement was created based on the themes discussed and posted on the website for comment. We received a lot of valuable feedback on the draft vision statement and would like to thank everyone who provided comments. The Vision Statement along with existing high level Provincial and City land use policies will guide the development of detailed land use and development policies for the corridor.

B-Line Corridor Vision Statement

The B-Line Corridor is...

DIVERSE
The corridor comprises vibrant and diverse neighbourhoods, made up of a mix of housing, services and amenities for all ages, incomes, household types, cultures and abilities. The diverse character of the unique neighbourhoods, places, buildings and streetscapes along the corridor, are recognized and celebrated.

BEAUTIFUL
The corridor is an attractive high quality environment. Beautiful buildings, public spaces, landscapes and streetscapes work together in creating places where people want to live, work, play and visit. Streetscapes are human scale, animated, comfortable, accessible and safe. Walking and gathering are promoted.

CONNECTED
The corridor connects people and their neighbourhoods to each other and important places in the City and beyond. The corridor promotes multiple ways for everyone to move around seamlessly, safely, and comfortably, by foot, bike, transit and car.

SUSTAINABLE
The corridor contributes to a sustainable future for the whole city. Innovative transportation options, efficient use of land, energy and resources, and an innovative sustainable built environment promotes healthy lifestyles and high quality of life for present and future generations.

REVITALIZED
The corridor is a destination for new investment and employment opportunities. The character of existing neighbourhoods is enhanced through renewal of buildings and businesses. A growing population supports new development, services and amenities.
