Chapter 3: Supporting Growth

Chapter 3: Supporting Growth

Community Investments and Implementation Options

The Chinook Communities share amenities, services, parks, open spaces and public facilities. However, no single community has everything residents need.

Communities rely on their interconnected features. These include commercial amenities and services, Main Streets and Activity Centres, recreational opportunities, and multi-use pathways that surround and weave throughout and between neighbourhoods.

Chapter 3 and Appendix A of the Plan include investment priorities for community improvements. These priorities don’t have funding or timelines yet. They may be implemented by The City, developers, or community organizations if and when funding becomes available.

The Plan identifies five goals that align with the Plan’s five core values. These goals guide local objectives to support the Plan’s vision. The goals include:

  • Supporting Manchester industrial transition and Manchester Industrial triple mixed-uses;
  • Improving linkages for passive and active recreational opportunities; placemaking along Main Streets, connecting mobility with housing options and infrastructure, and;
  • Improving accessibility within transit station areas.

Specific actions are identified to achieve the supporting growth goals.
