Ok...so i have been working on a comprehensive plan for the lower rossdale area for some time now and while this is the "informal" plan...i am working on a full fledged ARP. In my opinion, this area is the most underused, undervalued, underserving area in this city. It has such HUGE potential for being a gathering place, a place for artists, shops, residences of differing types, museums, galleries, historical sites, parks, and play areas.
Green = residential (including townhouses, towers, lofts, and work/live dwellings.
Blue = street fronting retail with some 2nd storey office potential
Pink = public space/historical/museum/market/community centre
Heights would range from 2-18 storeys with an emphasis on 4-10 storeys to allow for required critical mass while maintaining views, sunlight, and street level feel.
Salmon = stone/brick pedestrian walk ways
new roadsways would have 60 degree angled parking with wide sidewalks allowing art and patio potentials. They would terminate with round abouts to encourage a slowing of traffic and focus on the pedestrian.
The current surface parking for telus field would be contained UG on the same lot south of the field with a secure ug level for residents. There would be some UG for the larger towers and a commercial UG parking for shoppers/visitors, but generally speaking the lower height residences would not have parking attributed to it for various and obvious reasons.
with building types and styles along this line:
