Aerial view of the site as it might appear 30 years from now. The Lougheed corridor is lined with “chunks” of at-grade commercial uses topped with high-density housing units (1). Civic buildings, urban open space, and light rail transit create a dynamic town centre. Multiple housing types, including four-storey apartments (2) and ground-oriented row houses (3), are situated around community working greens (4). Surface water is collected and recycled via rooftop cisterns (5), orchards and swales. A commuter bikepath and walking trails (6) travel along Still Creek (7). The riparian corridor acts as a buffer to the stream between the town centre and the Trans-Canada Highway (8), and provides wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities.
