6.10.11. Awnings should be used to create a
comfortable sense of enclosure for
pedestrians and provide weather
protection by being placed:
a) At a minimum height of 2.4m above
the sidewalk;
b) At a minimum projection of 1.8m
from the building face;
c) At a maximum 0.5m from the face of
the curb; and
d) Should not interfere with existing
street tress or street lights (ie. trees
should not be removed or pruned to
accommodate awnings).
NEIGHBOURHOOD, STREETS AND THE PUBLIC
REALM
6.10.12. Sidewalks or a multi-modal pathway
should be on both sides of the street.
Where a sidewalk or pathway on
both sides is not possible, one side
should designed as a wider sidewalk
or pathway and connected through
traf昀椀c calming and crosswalks to the
other side.
LANDSCAPING & SCREENING
6.10.16. Design for water in昀椀ltration and the use
of green infrastructure in Downtown
streetscaping and, where appropriate,
use native plant species (昀椀rst and
foremost, low-maintenance plants able
to survive urban conditions).
6.10.17. Plant a diverse selection of climate
adaptable, locally-viable street trees
with 8-10m spacing to create a
continuous urban tree canopy.
6.10.18. Pedestrian street lighting can be
attached lower down in speci昀椀ed areas
to highlight pedestrian focus, and have
a higher quality aesthetic, with more
detailing on poles and light heads, and
include options for banners and other
aesthetic features.
6.10.13. Multi-modal pathways on streets
in the Highway Tourist DPA should
be physically protected from
vehicular traf昀椀c by fencing or
protective landscaping.
6.10.14. Amenity Zones should include
a) Trees,
b) Benches,
c) Bike racks,
d) Lighting, and
e) Garbage and recycling bins.
6.10.15. Where practical, create intersection
bump-outs at all intersections to
shorten pedestrian crossing length, and
integrate landscaping and potentially
public art, while not restricting safe
vehicular visibility at the intersection.
