Appendix A Research literature review search method

Framing the Urban Growth Centre Walkability Literature & Document Review Primary Question: How can we a) improve the integration of activities within UGCs through enhanced walking conditions beyond density and transit interventions and b) assure the evolution of UGCs into built form and journey dynamics favourable to walking and public transit? Supporting Questions: i) How can UGCs become pedestrianͲprioritized? ii) How does pedestrianͲprioritization improve growth potential, reduce land consumption and reduce automobile reliance? iii) What different forms of walkable urban environments exist at different scales and how can their features be strung together into UGCͲwide, replicable strategies? iv) What obstacles are anticipated in implementing such strategies and how can they be overcome? Literature Review: Provides background for our empirical study as justification for decisions made in research design, provides theoretical context, and identifies gaps in the planning literature our study intends to fill e.g., evidence for walking as important to urban development beyond density and transit. Proposed Approach: Hybrid between Scoping review and Framework synthesis¹ Scoping review "Similar to textual narrative synthesis, a scoping review (Arksey and O’Malley 2005) aims to extract as much relevant data from each piece of literature as possible—including methodology, finding, variables, etc.—since the aim of the review is to provide a snapshot of the field and a complete overview of what has been done. Because its goal is to be comprehensive, research quality is not a concern for scoping reviews (Peters et al. 2015). Scoping reviews can identify the conceptual boundaries of a field, the size of the pool of research, types of available evidence, and any research gaps. For example, when scoping current literature on longͲrange strategic planning for infrastructure, Malekpour, Brown, and de Haan (2015, 70, 72) summarize their findings based on year, research focus, approaches, methodologies, techniques for longͲrange planning, historical context, intellectual landscape, etc." Framework synthesis "Framework synthesis, sometimes referred to as “best fit” framework synthesis (a derivative of the method), involves establishing an a priori conceptual model of the research question by which to structure the coding of the literature (Carroll et al. 2013; DixonͲWoods 2011). The conceptual model (framework) will then be modified based on the collected evidence. Therefore, “the final product is a revised framework that may include both modified factors and new factors that were not anticipated in the original model” (DixonͲWoods 2011, 1). Although initially meant for exclusively qualitative literature, the authors believe this can be applied to all literature types. For example, the review of household hazard adjustment by Lindell and Perry (2000), although not specifically identified as a framework synthesis, interprets the findings of the review with a previously established conceptual model (the Protective Action Decision Model) and suggests how the findings required modification to the previous theory. The updated model is then presented (Lindell and Perry 2000, 489)." ¹ Xiao, Y., & Watson, M. (2017). Guidance on Conducting a Systematic Literature Review.

Appendix E Interview letter and questions

As a public sector Planner in [insert municipal name], we would like to invite you to participate in an interview about walkability and transitͲoriented development in Urban Growth Centres. The interview forms part of a research study and project examining, and proposing improvements to, Urban Growth Centres (UGCs) in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The project is supported financially by the Places to Grow Implementation Fund of the Government of Ontario. The project is led by Professor Pierre Filion from the School of Planning at the University of Waterloo and Neluka Leanage, a doctoral candidate in the same department. Olivier RoyͲBaillargeon, a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow based at the University of Waterloo School of Planning, is also involved in the UGC research. We expect that the results from this UGC project will benefit Ontario provincial, regional and municipal policy makers and practitioners involved in land, transportation, transit, growth and public realm design as well as be of interest to organizations working to create and build vibrant walkable centres and downtowns, main streets and neighbourhoods. We are interested in the conditions that favour the development of UGCs and that foster their multiͲ functionality and density as well as their walkability and synergy effects (mutually beneficial interactions between functions). We also explore the planning rationale behind the local planning and design of these centres and their impacts on built form and travel patterns. The interview questions are attached to this letter. Material collected through the interviews will be published in the academic literature and Neluka Leanage's doctoral thesis. We will also present results in at least three March 2018 workshops, presentations, on a project website and make them accessible in professional journals such as Plan Canada. Participation is voluntary. The interview will last approximately one hour and take place in a mutually agreed upon location, by telephone or webͲconnected service e.g., Skype or GoToMeeting. The interviews will be conducted by NelukaLeanage and/or Olivier RoyͲBaillargeon. With your permission, interviews will be audio recorded to enable accurate transcription.

Interview Questions These interview questions are about the challenges and opportunities in creating and implementing walkable, transitͲoriented multiͲfunctional centres needed to shift our current trajectory and deliver successful, vibrant and sustainable places and hubs. Interviewees will address different aspects of UGC management especially transit and walking interventions in these centres. You may choose not to answer any question you do not wish. Please remember that your identity will be kept confidential. The interview deals with UGCs and walkability in general, and more specifically with the walking interventions needed to allow UGCs to reach their multiͲfunctional potential. It also investigates how these interventions fit within regional and provincial transportation and land use planning and policymaking. UGC Vision and Plans 1) What in your opinion, are the visions and plans for your city's UGC? i) Does your UGC have specific walking mode share or shift targets? If yes, what and when are they? 2. How would you describe the role, influence and importance given to walking and pedestrians in your UGC, the visions and plans? i) Are there specific examples, decisions, changes or documents illustrating the level of importance you would suggest we review? ii) Could you rank on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the lowest), the priority you would give to within UGCs: Ͳ personal automobiles, Ͳ commercial vehicles, Ͳ transit, Ͳ walking, and Ͳ bicycles? iii) Is there a difference between your ranking and what the UGC plan or implementation is? (or alternatively, could you comment on whether official documents reflect or deviate from the priority you've given?) Why do you think this is?

Walkability and PedestrianͲOriented Environments 3) What do you think is most needed to create walkability and pedestrianͲoriented environments? This could include for example, legislation, policy, planning, servicing and design or even a paradigm shift. i) On a scale of 1 to 7 (1 being the lowest), could you rank the focus of the following within UGCs to create walkability: Ͳ density and transit interventions, Ͳ street changes including level of service/performance adjustments, Ͳ design of buildings and the public realm, Ͳ integration of building and site into existing fabric, Ͳ mixed used, multiple functions and their suitable distribution, Ͳ attraction of more development, and Ͳ safety, including road, crime and perceived? ii) Using any of the above, could you describe how you negotiate with developers to achieve better walkability and identify any processes to support your efforts in this regard? iii) Could you identify any successful or failed examples of these efforts? Interviewer to describe issues pertaining to lack of functionality, amenities, distribution of activities as they relate to walking. 4) How do, or might, you specifically envision and plan to integrate land uses, amenities and functions in UGCs in ways to generate more walking trips, convenience and the synergies needed for creating animated, vibrant, pedestrianͲfriendly centres? i) Can you provide any concrete examples in your UGC? 5) What would you identify as the key obstacles to reͲorient and prioritize walking and pedestrians in your UGC? i) How best might this be tackled? ii) Do you have any example where these strategies have worked?

Urban form analysis of Urban Growth Centres: interconnectivity through walkability Appendix F

Methodology The present assessment of urban growth centres concerns their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or core area portion, that is their sector posting the highest density and walkability potential. While one urban growth centre coincides with its downtown-like environment, in other cases this environment constitutes only a portion of their urban growth centre. In an extreme case, the downtown portion represents as little as 3.9% of its urban growth centre. Is considered part of the downtown portion of an urban growth centre, areas where the density is higher than in the remainder of the centre and where buildings are aligned to the street (that is, without parking spaces and/or landscaping at the front). There is also a rule of continuity in the delineation of the downtown portions of urban growth centres. High-density areas with street-aligned structures, which are separated from the remainder of the downtown by at least one low-density or car-oriented block, are not considered to be part of the downtown portion of an urban growth centre. In UGCs where a traditional downtown is absent, we concentrate on their core areas, which is where activities cluster in environments that post high densities relative to the remainder of the UGC.

Appendix C

In the present study, we identify as pedestrian conducive environments commercial streets cumulating at least some of these abovementioned features. The more these streets conform to these features, the higher is their degree of pedestrian friendliness. We can also add to these features the nature of establishments along these streets, which determines their capacity to generate street activity and stimulate the pedestrian environment. The more attractive are store windows, the more people stores attract, the more they contribute to the walkability of their street. Perhaps the establishments that are most likely to stimulate the walking environment are restaurants, cafĂŠs and bars, especially when they provide sidewalk seating when the weather is favourable. We account in this study for differences in the walking qualities of the downtown commercial streets we identify as pedestrian axes. Parks and public plazas are also categorized as pedestrian conducive areas, as is the indoor space of shopping malls. Residential buildings with ten floors or more are listed as high-rise residential structures. /GCPYJKNG VQ DG EQPUKFGTGF CU C OCLQT QHĆ&#x2019;EG DWKNFKPI C UVTWEVWTG PGGFGF VQ DG CV NGCUV HQWT storeys high.

Thanks to the presence of two commercial streets, many downtown locations are close to walkable axes. The facades of retail streets are often mediocre and these streets are not very animated, however. Meanwhile, redevelopment has happened on or close to walking axes. This is notably the case of the three downtown buildings of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. However, the prevalence of surface parking lots reduces walkability beyond the two commercial streets.

Location of land uses Thanks to the distribution of pedestrian axes and the relatively small size of the downtown, most of the activity generating land uses are located close to these axes. Exceptions to this rule are two high-rise residential buildings, which are a little further from commercial streets.

INTRODUCTION Walkability is an essential element in any enjoyable, let alone functional, urban space. The ability to navigate an urban environment by foot is key in fostering energy and activity within cities. However, the focus on utilitarian mobility in the past century has led us to autocentric designs that have taken this ability away from city dwellers. Recognizing this, approaches to planning have begun returning the city to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s user; one focus being Urban Growth Centres (UGCs). This project aims to assess walkability in the Provincially designated UGCs in attempts to identify areas for improvement and suitable interventions. To identify the unique opportunities and constraints built form can impose on walkability, the UGCs were separated into three categories: Downtown, Mall-focused; and Undeveloped. A representative municipality from each category was chosen for analysis. The following inventory and analysis of the case study UGCs provides and in-depth evaluation to the complex opportunities and constraints to achieving walkability.

MEASUREMENTS ANALYSIS This reports utilizes the TOD (Transit Orientated Development) 3.0 Standard to score the municipalities walkability. As this tool was created for analysis at a site-specific scale, certain standards were revised and added to create a more comprehenisve appraoch to assessing walkability at a larger scale. The TOD standard categorizes walkability into eight key elements: walk, cycle, connect, transit, mix, densify, compact and shift. Each of these categories contain subsequent measurements that are utilized to score developments on a scale of 100. With the included modifications of this reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s framework, the final scoring will be done out of 177.

GOLD STANDARD 151-177 POINTS

SILVER STANDARD 123-150 POINTS

BRONZE STANDARD 95-122 POINTS

METHODOLOGY Data for this analysis was collected through several methods. As a starting point, the Project Team gathered existing GIS data through the case study municipalities Open Data catalogues. Following the collection of base data, the Project Team conducted site visits to capture experiential measurements of the case study UGCs. To support these site visits, Google Earth imagery was used to conducted quantitative measurements.

APPROACH PEDESTRIAN SHED MEASUREMENTS A pedestrian shed is (ped shed) the basic building block of a walkable neighbourhood, known as a distance that can be measured by a five minute walk from the city centre or a point of interest. They are often measured as 400M and 800M distances from the centre point, and represented as concentric circles. However, representing the ped shed in this manner captures certain routes that may be ideal but are not walkable by the pedestrian (whether a path does not exist or is not lined wiht pedestrian infrastructure). As such, this research applied two methodologies were used to calculate pedestrian sheds. DTK’s ped shed was measured 800M along King Street West, as well as a block north and south to capture walkability of the side streets. For the MCC and VMC, the 400 metre and 800 metre boundaries were developed by following on the ground pedestrian paths in each direction from the site’s node. Given that MCC is nearly triple the size of Kitchener and Vaughan, it’s ped shed only covers the southern extent of the UGC, which includes Square One, the Civic District and parts of Living Arts Drive and Duke of York Boulevard. In comparison, the ped shed for Vaughan covered the majority of the UGC, with the 800m ped shed extended north along Millway Drive. However, the southern extent of the ped shed barely crosses Highway 7 due to the long distances between pedestrian crossings.

MEASURES OF ANALYSIS

The analysis was completed with a categorical approcah which examined four key elements of walkability: Walk + Move, Mix + Form, Live + Play and Evaluate.

Within the TOD standard, active uses are considered to be through retail and civic uses which can generate the most pedestrian activity.

Core District Civic District

Within DTK, the Market District, Innovation District and Core District fall within the 800m pedestrian shed. Both the Core District and Market District are mixed-use, where as the Innovation District is primarily employment. The Civic District is outside of the ped shed defined by this study. In addition to the district analysis, an inventory of building use was collected to establish the percentage of buildings wihtin the site dedicated to a specific use. Within DTK, 68% of buildings were mixed-use, with 57% of all buildings either being dedicated to retail or having a retail component. These buildings mainly lined the King Street corridor, attributed with smaller building footprints on narrow lots which created was condusive to a pedestrian scale along King Street.

The resulting activity analyses show the average hours of operation for each of the districts. It appears that between the three districts present within the ped shed, there is always on-going activity within the UGC. Residential uses provide a minimum yet continual level of activity through down times. However, the Core District contained a hotel and various nightlife establishments which kept activity at a higher level thorughout the night.

LIGHTING IMPACT Lighting impact was scored based on the size of the lighting feature and its relevant brightness impacting the pedestrian experience. Although large vehicular light posts offer a lot of lighting, this is often not tailored to enhancing the pedestrian experience As such, areas with only vehicular lighting have a lighter gradient compared to areas with pedestrian/combined lighting features.

The MCC was well-lit through vehicular lights, pedestrian lights and active storefronts. The majority of pedestrian lighting was centered around Square One, which is disconnected from the broader pedestrian realm.

Within the MCC, there are primarily employment districts to the north-west, residential to the north-east and south and commercial, mixed use and civic districts in the core. The pedestrian shed boundaries on the map show which districts are captured within a 400m and 800m walking distance from the core. In addition to the district analysis, an inventory of building use was collected to establish the percentage of buildings wihtin the site dedicated to a specific use. Although 38% of buildings contain a retail/commercial use, only 13% of buildings are classified as mixed-use. Additionally, building footprints were included to represent visual impact. Residential uses account for a large portion of the use breakdown, as seen through building footprints. although there is only one retail building (Square One) it accounts for a large visual impact on the pedestrian realm.

EVALUATE PRIORITY 1: ENSURE THE UGC IS ADVANCING UGCS TOWARDS GOALS In order to properly assess how density has been changing in the UGCs, a comparison was made between their growth target of 200 people and jobs per hectare versus their progress as of 2011 (shown in the graph below). It was determined that the MCC is the closest to achieving the proposed density, containing the healthiest mix of people and jobs. On the other hand, the VMC is the furthest from meeting this target, as tresidential uses are only now being introduced within the UGC. It should be noted that Kitchener has experienced significant growth in the past half decade, which is not captured by this density calculation. Overall, this 2011 data may not accurately capture the level at which these UGCs are currently meeting this density target.

Interventions should build upon this compact network and ensure connectivity is maintained and enhanced. Existing Public Space DTK provides an abundance of existing public spaces and amenity areas which draw dwellers onto the streets. Interventions should look to increase the usage of current public spaces prior to introducing new ones. 24-Hour Community Per the analysis, DTK maintains the highest degree of activity within the UGC at all times throughout the day. This existing 24-hour community presents a level of demand to cater to that does not exist within the other UGCs. Infill Opportunities Although the majority of King Street is developed, the north-south streets connecting to King present an abudance of opportunity for infill development. Additionally, the large amounts of surface parking would also be ideal sites for infill development. Existing Multi-modal Split DTK has the highest percentage of existing walking activity between the three UGCs. This existing modal choice makes it easer to introduce interventions targeted towards these users, with more certainty that they will be used.

3-3

DTK CONSTRAINTS Loading Access Although King Street is a pedestrian-priorty corridor, other streets (e.g. Charles Street) within the UGC are required for loading purposes, given the industrial and employment nature of some areas within the UGC. These streets are essential for the functioning of businesses but are prohibitive of comfortable pedestrian access and movement. Heritage DTK is a historic Downtown. The need to preserve certain heritage elemetns places limitations on designs and redevelopments. For instance, the facade of the Kaufman Lofts hold high heritage significance, which prohibits the installment of an active frontage along that stretch. Solutions should be assessed for mitigating this constraint. Narrow Right-Of-Ways (ROWs) Although the intimate ROWs within DTK are condusive to human scale design, they present limitations in terms of widening the ROW to include dedicated active transportation infrastructure. Surrounding Stable Residential King Street is surrounded by low-density residential neighbourhoods which must be equally considered through the proposed interventions. As such, transition and scale will be important elements to be mindful of within interventions, especially along the north-south streets. Retrofitting for Bicycling Infastructure Adding safe, separated cycling infrastructure returns the street to pedestrians and promotes walkability. In Kitchener, retrofitting to fit these interventions will be diffcult, as they take up a considerable amount of space and present a trade-off for traffic management within an area that already contains reduced lanes compared to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surroundings.

3-4

MCC OPPORTUNITIES High Traffic Flow Exists On The Site Square One is already a destination which generates attraction and destination-based traffic. Building upon its success, interventions within the MCC could utilize this existing user base by introducing elements that draw users out of the mall and onto the streets. Mix of Housing Through recent developments, a mix of medium to high density housing styles have been introduced within the MCC, which are most appropriate for supporting objectives of walkability.

Infill on Parking Lots and Vacant Land Per the analysis, the visual impact of parking lots within MCC is significant, especially around Square One. As such, there is an opportunity for infill development on these sites to fill in these gaps and activate this fragmenting lots. Regional Connection The MCC has good regional connection to the rest of the GTA, which presents broader potential for those who are able to live, work, and play within this UGC. If the correct interventions are introduced, there is an opprtunity to draw in traffic from neighbouring municipaliteis. Sense of Place The MCC has developed a unique sense of place overtime, through the presence of Celebration Square, Square One, and the Civic Centre. This sense of place fosters increased pedestrian activity and pride for thier community. The proposed designs can build upon this existing character.

3-5

MCC CONSTRAINTS Wind Tunnels Based on ground-truthing, wind tunnels appear to be a major constraint on-site that could affect the pedestrian experience and deter users from walking through certain corridors. Proposed interventions should consider methods that could be used to minimze the impact of these tunnels on user experience. Square One Square One draws in the majority pedestrian activity, yet has a built form that is diffcult to address. The large building footprint and abundance of surface parking fragments the site, especially considering the mall is placed within the centre of the UGC. Interventions should look to soften this impact while allowing the attraction to maintain elements that provide for users within the area. Parking Per the analysis, the visual impact of parking lots within the MCC is significant, yet the majority of users are autodependant within the area. Furthermore, as the UGC is a major hub for transit, many commuters need these lots to park their car prior to boarding a transit connection. Interventions must be sensitive to which parking lots are overtaken, to ensure users are not negatively affected. Large ROW The large ROWs in the MCC can contribute to an unfavourable pedestrian experience, as they bisect the site and present difficulties for crossing in the allocated time. The ROW must be managed through traffic demand management to ensure equality between pedestrian and auto-uses. Surrounding Highways The northern extent of the MCC is bordered by Highway 403, which presents development issues in regards to noise and safety. As it will be difficult to implement residential uses in this area, interventions must ncrease density and create a 24-hour community despite the presence of residential units.

3-6

VMC OPPORTUNITIES New Pedestrian Infrastructure As the VMC is currently undeveloped, there are vast opportunities and space for new pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, especially around the growing multi-modal centre. New Public Squares The abundance of vacant land allows for proactive planning and development of public spaces and amenity areas. These can be required as a condition of development to ensure they are not considered as an afterthought.

Infill Opportunities on Parking and Vacant Land Considering thearray of transit options sevicing the VMC, and the lack of development which currently exists, there is an oversupply of parking lots which currently fragment the site but could be repurposed as viable development sites. Regional Connection The VMC has good existing regional connection to the rest of the GTA, which presents broader potential for those who are able to live, work, and play within this UGC. If the correct interventions are introduced, there is an opprtunity to draw in traffic from neighbouring municipaliteis.

Maximizing Under-utilized ROWs There is ample space on all ROWs to accommodate wider walkways, dedicated cycling infrastructure, landscape buffers, and activated frontages to enhance the public realm.

3-7

VMC CONSTRAINTS Large ROWs Although large ROWs could serve as a potential opportunity for intervention, they present short term constraints given cost of reconfiguring these corridors. As such, interventions must assess methods to address the longer crossing times, fragmented landscapes and hostile Industrial Nature and Truck Routes There are plans to redevelop the VMC as a major commercial and residential hub. However, in the transition time, the industrial nature of the site and prevalence of large trucks lead to reduced comfort for the pedestrian. Lack of Existing Housing There are minimal existing residents within the VMC, as the Nord Condos present the only form of residential development. The lack of residential presence eliminates an important user group within the UGC, as residents are most likely to walk within their neighbourhoods than outside visitors. Large Grid Network Feeling small as a pedestrian is a major constraint prevelant within the VMC. Even with planned block reductions, the wide ROWs coupled with extensive length of blocks present an overwhelming environment which is a barrier to pedestrian synergy. Lack of Character Compared to the other UGCs, the VMC does not have an existing character or draw for pedestrian activity. Establishing character and a sense of place, especially within the transition time before the VMC Secondary Plan is begins to take form within the landscape, will be a major necessity for attracting pedestrians, and users in general, to the VMC.

41% of the buildings within DTK had active frontages, mostly located along King Street. There are no active frontages on side streets abutting King Street. This was a key ﬁnding for our designs that aimed to address the lacking active frontages along the east end of the site and abutting streets.

This analysis was conducted through a detailed evaluation of operating hours within each of the UGC’s planned districts. The resulting activity analyses show the average hours of operation for each of the districts. It appears that between the three districts present within the ped shed, there is always on-going activity within the UGC. Residential uses provide a minimum yet continual level of activity through down times. However, the Core District contained a hotel and various nightlife establishments which kept activity at a higher level thorughout the night.

Each of the UGC’s walkability was assessed based on the TOD 3.0 Standard. In order to receive a bronze award, the UGC needed to reach a minimum of 95 points. Kitchener scored 70 points, meaning it did not meet the TOD 3.0 standard for walkability. Kitchener lost its points when evaluating the ﬂow and safety of pedestrian movement- as such this was the base of our design ideas.

SITE SELECTION The northern end of the downtown was chosen as our site for redevelopment. This area was chosen as it is the prominent gateway into the downtown, which means its visual activity for pedestrians is of increased importance. Further this area was an ideal candiate to implement for ﬂuid pedestrian connections since it included the Tannery, Halls Lane and manulife which were redesigned to maximize their beneﬁt to the pedestrian experience.

Downtowns like Kitchener are well on their way to being 24 hour communities. To help instill day-long and night-long activity, our design implements residential intensiﬁcation and activated frontages. The residential intensiﬁcation will ensure there is consistent activity, where as the facade re-activation will encourage new uses and reduce vacancies which can hinder 24 hour activity.

Draw inspiration from interesting historic facades

PRIORITIZE PEDESTRIAN TRIPS Add streetscape elements to activate areas of the pedestrian realm which could otherwise contribute to a negative pedestrian experience

To visualize how our design will address pedestrian circulation in the site. The available amenities were inventoried and mapped to show how movement could change and the opportunity for pedestrian trip chaining. New interventions allowed for more diverse and direct pedestrian trips which increase the saturation of pedestrian movement to adjacent side streets, while still ensuring activity on King Street. Breaks in pedestrian movement were also mitigated through retroﬁtting signalized intersections as four-way stops, where the priority is given back to the pedestrian and away from the vehicle. Policy Implementation Initiate a pilot program to convert signalized intersections to clearly marked four-way stops on streets that have high pedestrian volumes and slow moving vehicle traffic (i.e. King Street)

When activation by use isn’t feasible (Kaufman Lofts) create an outdoor room which softens the pedestrian relation to the building

BUILD OFF EXISTING CHARACTER

Why retain ‘grit’? A sense of place is vital to pedestrian life. Developed downtowns are lucky to have unique architecture and an element of heritage which are an invaluable asset to encouraging public activity. The curated authenticity provided by local businesses, local street art, - experience should be celebrated. The adjacent map shows the existing and proposed character elements which will be enhanced and promoted within the design.

DTK features an active retail corridor via King Street. However, it is currently lacking in anchoring public activity with public space. The proposed design looks to create diversely programmed public space which will enhance the existing pedestrian life on site. Particularly, Halls Lane will be revitalized and a new green-space will be added around Kaufman Lofts. These two new spaces will provide an opportunity for diverse event programming and daily life for pedestrians.

KEY FINDING: DIVERSITY OF TRANSIT

KEY FINDING: DISTRICTS + HOURS

There are ﬁve different transit options that connect to the MCC, including regional connections via GO and Megabus. This contributed to both an opportunity and a constraint on site as the transit connection encouraged regional connection and last-mile walking trips, however also made pedestrian movement around the transit terminal a key constraint.

Within the MCC, there are primarily employment districts to the north-west, residential to the north-east and south and commercial, mixed use and civic districts in the core. The pedestrian shed boundaries on the map show which districts are captured within a 400m and 800m walking distance from the core.

KEY FINDING: TRANSIT SHELTER + SEATING

MCC has the majority of Its parking located around Square One Shopping Centre. Although only 16% of the UGC is covered in surface parking, these lots have a signiﬁcant visual impact on the pedestrian realm as they disconnect pedestrian walkways and front buildings instead of being tucked behind them.

14% of walkway segements in the MCC had seating, mostly located around Square One. 39% of walkway segements throughout the entire MCC provided seating through the presence of transit shelters, mostly around the transit terminal.

MCC has many large parking lots that currently inhibit an enjoyable pedestrian experience. To address this, the designs look at small-scale inﬁll that will humanize the lots and allow for a comfortable pedestrian experience. This exercise also allowed to creatively rethink large parking lots for pedestrian uses and accessible public space.

Currently, the lot adjacent to the transit terminal is being used as a large parking lot. This parking is needed to support the high traffic generated by Square One, however, its visual impact can be re-envisioned. As such, Park Park a raised public space is proposed to cover this parking lot. The design works with the grade and elevation changes to effectively cover the parking lot and give the space back to the public realm.

PRECEDENT The design for the large building footprints was inspired by the First Ontario Centre in downtown St. Catharines which utilizes grade change to hide a larger building footprint and engage the use with the street level activity.

MOVING FROM TRANSIT-FIRST TO PEOPLE USING TRANSIT FIRST Harmonizing the transit experience with the pedestrian experience can be a challenging constraint. To address this in MCC, the transit terminal was redesigned mindful to both bus movements and pedestrian movements. The bus movements, shown in blue and orange ﬂow through each of the terminal stations. The pedestrian movements, shown in green allow for transit-users to walk directly to square one, access Park Park or walk down Rathburn Street safely. y

ENSURE A RANGE OF USES + BUILDING FOOTPRINTS A major theme for our design of Mississauga was to take a new perspective on the normal building typologies that are implemented around major retail centres. Particularly, we re-envisioned large office footprints and residential towers as human scaled interventions. We also rethought how land should be distributed, opposed to large separated districts, we envisioned our site as an 800m complete community, which would provide access to all essential amenities within a 10 minute walk of one another.

Creativity with large building footprints is necessary when redesigning for pedestrian integration. To activate the cinema building footprint, which is currently disjointed from the pedestrian realm, it was reimagined as surplus lecture halls for the Sheridan College students. This change contributed to more daytime activity, which is necessary within MCC, and allowed for a new cinema to be introduced fronting Rathburn.

In general, two major building interventions were proposed: humanizing new development proposals, and re purposing large building footprints. The new buildings proposed re-imagined how typical uses are implemented in areas like Mississauga, opposed to large scale office towers and large scale residential which comparatively shrinks the pedestrian realm. The new office and residential proposed instead ﬁlls a missing middle and allows for diverse tenants and home-owners while enhancing the pedestrian experience.

The major street interventions in Mississauga include creating a finer grid network from Rathburn to Square One Drive major streetscaping improvements along Rathburn Street. These improvements allow for more fluid pedestrian movement as well as prioritizes pedestrians over vehicles. At the existing roundabout, a pedestrian advance signal will be implemented which will separate the pedestrian movements from the cars. Along Rathburn, multiple midblock crossings are being added with additional pedestrian scrambles on either side of Park Park. This was done to provide an uninterrupted flow of pedestrians between two public green spaces and to activate the street in the process.

IMPLEMENT UNIQUE INTERIM DEVELOPMENT

Container Park: New tourist destination and shopping plaza, provides a unique sense of place to the VMC subway staion, draws for industrial context of the location.

Vaughan is planned for redevelopment, however that redevelopment is not going to happen within a day. The time period between full development and current development remains vitally important to the pedestrian experience. As such, this design plans for the mid-term period, through implementing modular design. This strategy promotes temporary built form which can curb the pedestrian experience through protecting important vistas, spurring activity, and creating a destination. Within the design there are three key modular areas proposed:

Highway 7 Pop-Up Shops Changeable use stores aimed to have a shorter life span than container park, frames Highway 7 before new development occurs.

Modular buildings to frame parking The new Walmart on site also has a large surface parking lot as its street frontage. To mitigate this, temporary building will be used to create a street grid within the parking lot and encourage new use in the retail core of the area.

Building interventions in Vaughan were purposely phased in the design to showcase the opportunity, opposed to constraint of interim development. Buildings in green are interim strategies proposed to enhance the pedestrian experience while the area develops. The strategies are focused in key areas surrounding parking lots, fronting highway 7 where there is existing industrial, and in vacant lots. The interim development is envisioned to exist for a range of time periods: from daily use to structures that remain for multiple years. Our design also highlighted areas for permanent development, particularly with re-envisioned office and housing options which set the scale for future development.

PUBLIC SPACE

The major street interventions in Vaughan occurred on Highway 7 where a new pedestrian scrambe was implemented at Highway 7 and Millway, a centre sidewalk was implemented between Interchange Way and Jane Street, and a mid block crossing was additioned at the new small local street. This street was also pedestrianized to promote the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of traffic into the interior block.

Open space in Vaughan was vital to curating a unique sense of place. Given the proximity of Black Creek, very little softscaped open space was proposed however, an essential hardscape path network was used to further support east west pedestrian movements accross the site.

Conference presentation A conference presentation on the project and findings was given by Neluka Leanage at the Urban Affairs Conference in Toronto on April 4, 2018, one of North America's largest urban forum.

Appendix I

The session, moderated by Dr. Pierre Filion, was entitled, "Understanding, managing and reconfiguring the North American suburb." The audience make-up included academics and professionals from across North America with expertise on cities from a diversity of angles. Our presentation was however, the only topic on walkability. The session overview and presentation abstract are below or at https://2018uaaannualconference.sched.com/event/ D3rw/th105018-understanding-managing-and-reconfiguring-the-north-american-suburb#

The North American suburb has become increasingly complex from a social, economic and land-use perspective. But at the same time, features of the post-World-War-II North American suburb, such as its relatively low density, land-use specialization and near universal reliance on the automobile, have persisted to this day. These are aspects of the North American suburb that are targeted by smart growth and sustainable urbanization strategies attempting to foster a suburban pattern that is intensified, multifunctional and less automobile reliant. The session includes two presentations that examine the complexity of the contemporary North American suburb, and that describe the institutional governance mechanisms of suburbs and their impact on suburban urban form and transportation patterns. The three remaining presentations explore attempts to create walking- and public transit-conducive centres within the suburban realm. Such centres constitute the mainstay of strategies aiming to modify the land-use and journey dynamics of the North American suburb. Walkable Centres, School of Planning, University of Waterloo, ÂŠ 2018

The last three presentations describe the creation and transformation of centres, along with the conditions they must meet to be successful alternatives to prevailing suburban development trends. One of these presentations explores the transformation of a car-oriented edge city into a pedestrian- and transit-conducive suburban centre. Another presentation compares TOD strategies deployed in Canada’s two largest metropolitan regions and identifies conditions for TODs in these two regions to meet their modal share and landuse density and diversity objectives. And finally, the last presentation explores ways of creating walking- and public transit-hospitable environments in suburban centres, which will differentiate these centres from the rest of the suburban realm.

Intervention, the Greater Golden Horseshoe, Canada Presenter: Neluka Leanage, University of Waterloo (nleanage@uwaterloo.ca) Author(s):Neluka Leanage, University of Waterloo, Pierre Filion, University of Waterloo Since 2006, the Government of Ontario in collaboration with municipalities has been implementing a regional smart growth plan in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, Canada's strongest growing economic region. Aimed at creating walkable, transit-oriented nodes of higher residential and employment densities, complete, healthy communities and protecting agricultural lands, the plan focuses strategically on twenty-five Urban Growth Centres (UGCs). To date, implementation results in these UGCs are mixed, highlighting that centres outside of dense urban Toronto face greater challenges and that their different settings require tailored prescriptions in order to reach their potential. Our study explores the attention to walking and prioritization of pedestrians in less dense UGCs as a transformational intervention to overcome automobility. We also expand current walkability frameworks focused on the “D’s” (density, diversity of land uses, design, destination accessibility and distance to transit) to include integration and a temporal dimension, important for attracting more people and activities over a spectrum of time. We discover that municipal planners and documents reveal significant awareness, appetite and a comprehensive range of attempts and scales to re-orient traditional downtowns and suburban centres for walking, beyond those found in the research literature. In our paper, we examine three types of centres at different stages of development showing common approaches achievable within the current regional policy regime yet, likely insuﬃcient for producing models of walkability. We also identify paradigmatic, institutional, political and market factors outside the realm of planning that are impeding planners’ abilities to integrate and implement a full range of interventions needed Walkable Centres, School of Planning, University of Waterloo, © 2018
