beyond their neighbourhood. Increased employment and residential densities along corridors support more frequent transit, and in turn more frequent transit supports and attracts higher density land uses along the corridor. This symbiotic relationship between transit, pedestrians and corridor intensification is key to the success of any corridor. Thus, corridors and transit should be planned and fostered together.

CITY CORRIDORS

• 3.3.2.1 City Corridors serve to connect the City Centre Growth Centre and Regional Commercial Centres. City corridors radiate from these Centres following numerous high frequency transit corridors. City corridors connect to Regional Commercial Centres along selected arterial roads but do not extend as far outward or as numerous as corridors connected to the City Centre. These corridors are intended to provide services for those living in close proximity to the area but also those who may arrive by transit, bicycle and by car.

  There are higher density employment and residential opportunities, with a significant amount of retail to support both every day needs, but also needs beyond the day such as furniture and appliance stores, home improvement stores, and stores that carry specialty items.

  Pharmacies and medical service are available with multiple choices for specialized care including doctors who specialize in specific types of care.

  Government services and buildings associated with the municipality, province or federal government are also found in these areas.

  Entertainment facilities, designed to attract people from well beyond the immediate area are also found on corridors that radiate from the City Centre.

  Transit service is frequent (10-20 minute peak headways) and offers multiple connections to other nodes and corridors throughout the city by a main transfer location or transit station. Regional transit connections are also available.

  Residential development may include high profile (26 to 58 metres in height), medium profile (14 to 26 metres in height) and residential over retail at street, as well as row housing and lofts.

NEIGHBOURHOOD CORRIDORS

• 3.3.2.2 The purpose and function of neighbourhood corridors is to link street sections to neighbourhood nodes or as standalone sections of community retail and services. These corridors provide for the day to day needs of the immediate neighbourhood that surrounds them. While employment is not the major focus, these corridors create a sense of community by
