Discussion Summary
and creating a sense of place in the
activity centers envisioned in City Plan. Look to best practices from other cities.
Incorporate satellite City facilities in redevelopment projects.
The Cadence affordable housing community is an excellent example of how
implementing the 15-minute city concept can serve seniors.
The City is missing opportunities to achieve a 15-minute city in the South College
corridor without the necessary development requirements in place.
We are at risk of losing access when grocers consolidate and close stores.
The vision should be realistic. 15-minute access may not be realistic for every resident.
Add reducing air pollution as one of the outcomes achieved by shifting to active modes.
Urban Renewal Areas are a strategy to spur redevelopment.
Clarify the role of transit in the 15-minute city analysis.
Clarify that a destination is not considered accessible if there is a gap in the low-stress
bicycle or pedestrian network connecting to the destination.
Next Steps
Incorporate Council feedback into the 15-Minute City Analysis summary report to be
shared with Council by the end of 2022.
Report to Council every other month on progress towards the
2021 2023 priority of 15-Minute City Implementation.
