STREETSCAPES AND MOBILITY
Streets with multi-use trails to accommodate shared pedestrian and cyclist movement.
Multi-modal transit hub.Bus stops with pedestrian enclosures and seating.
What We’ve Heard
Manage vehicle congestion along peripheral arterial roads. Active transportation facilities including pedestrian, cyclist and multi-use trails should be included with a preference for separated lanes. Public transit options should be expanded including bus lines with stops and shelters along new collector roads, and a multi-modal transit hub which combines commuter train and bus service with a suitable amount of parking.
BUILDING AND USE TYPOLOGIESWhat We’ve Heard
Ensure future development consists of low to mid-rise residential, commercial, institutional and mixed-use buildings. High-rise developments and large-scale commercial outlets are not desirable. Provide an appropriate mix of uses with a focus on community amenities including places of worship, and recreation / community centres. Elementary and secondary schools are highly desirable.
Elementary or secondary schools, libraries and/or recreational centres.
Low to mid-rise residential buildings.
Street-oriented small-format low to mid-rise commercial and residential mixed-use buildings.
Through the collection and summarization of input received throughout the course of the Visioning Summit, the following key findings have emerged.

CITY OF VAUGHAN BLOCK 27 SECONDARY PLAN
Sustainable building design.Boulevards designed for stormwater retention.
Permeable surface materials.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACEWhat We’ve Heard
Significant green spaces including neighbourhood parks, parkettes, open space linkages and trail networks should be included, where appropriate. Urban spaces including squares, plazas, active outdoor spaces and community gardens should also be included, where appropriate.
Urban squares with splash pads, skating rinks, public art, seating areas, and street trees.
Preservation of significant natural heritage features with trails and boardwalks.
Grand public parks with seating areas, mature trees, open fields, picnic areas, trails, water features, and public art.
SUSTAINABILITY OPPORTUNITIESWhat We’ve Heard
Sustainable site design elements such as bio-swales, storm water retention ponds, landscaped boulevards, permeable surface materials and landscaping should be included, where appropriate. Sustainable building design elements such as passive solar design, should be incorporated into new development so as to mitigate heat gain, maximize natural light, and optimize energy use.
Through the collection and summarization of input received throughout the course of the Visioning Summit, the following key findings have emerged.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES1. An intimate community character will be encouraged through the use of low
to mid-rise building form and scale.2. New development will blend a combination of residential, commercial
and institutional uses to create a walkable, sustainable and amenity-rich community.
3. Streetscape design will support a variety of uses and conditions including automobile, cycling and pedestrian activity.
4. Block configurations will follow a modified grid pattern, encouraging compact and sustainable development.
5. Seamless integration of alternative modes of transportation will expand local and regional transportation options and access, while encouraging environmental sustainability.
6. Community facilities such as schools, places of worship and community centres will be promoted and situated in a way that creates a social and cultural hub for the community.
7. A hierarchy of community parks and open spaces with a range of programming opportunities will provide the community with a variety of rich and vibrant urban and natural spaces for recreation.
8. Preservation of natural heritage features will provide an opportunity for views and access to nature.
9. Sustainability will be encouraged through the conscientious selection of building materials and finishes, surface treatments, blue-green infrastructure and other green features.
VISION Block 27 will be a complete community that prioritizes people, sustainability and livability with a high quality of urban design. The community will feature a range of low to mid-rise buildings that blend a variety of residential, commercial and institutional uses. It will be anchored by a local centre that features schools, community facilities and a transit hub. Finally, building upon the area’s abundant natural heritage features, a variety of parks and open spaces will provide residents with space for leisure and recreation.
The following Vision and Guiding Principles have been developed in response to the key findings obtained throughout the course of the Visioning Summit.
