Example 1
In Team Two’s proposal, the grid pattern integrated into the existing subdivision structure of the Brentwood site. Assuming that eighty metres is the average distance covered in one minute of walking, and given block sizes of 300-by-600 feet, it would take no longer than approximately ten to twelve minutes to walk from anywhere within the grid to either school, work, transit, or commercial services and recreational amenities.

Example 2
As Team Four’s Land Use Plan shows, the historical street pattern of the Brentwood District is maintained, but with smaller block units so as to achieve a similar pedestrian scale of development. To the south, smaller block sizes are integrated with larger parcels, encouraging a mix of development types and densities. Medium-density row houses are proposed for the southwestern portion of the site, while higher density forms, such as courtyard housing, are proposed for smaller block units in the northeastern portions.
 Example 3 
A section showing narrow residential streets. Narrow streets save more land and have slower traffic than do wide streets; they are cheaper, have fewer ecological impacts, and can be more easily shaded with street trees. In this example, 1 metre wide gravel shoulders collect water runoff, which is then collected by roadside swales composed of peat and gravel. Variations of this kind of street profile are common in many of Vancouver’s older neighbourhoods.
