Provide pedestrian friendly intersections, and create anambiance
conducive to people walking, or using mobilityaids, including
resting points, accessible pedestrian signals,tactile walking
surfaces, shade and landscaping
The vast majority of cyclists, of all skill levels, areto be
comfortable using the corridor
Commemorative/interpretivemarkers, or public art features
e.g.railway station, RR, Jackson Creek,original topography and
urban form
The Central Area Master Plan is to use Bethune Streetto link the
TCT to the Crawford Trail. Bethune Street isthe key to creating a

Current zoning does not provide
a comprehensive vision inkeeping with the Official Plan
The relationship between publicspaces and private
