B3 POLICIES: General

B3 Transit Corridors Support Transit Oriented Develop- ment along major corridors linking urban centres and employment areas Transit Oriented Development (TOD) fo- cuses on creating compact, complete ur- ban neighbourhoods with higher density mixed uses that align with and support frequent transit service. TOD helps to re- duce greenhouse gas emissions by sup- porting active and public transportation choices and relieves congestion on busy streets by reducing reliance on the auto- mobile. In order to develop a transit- oriented city, it is important to locate high- er density development in appropriate lo- cations along existing and proposed Fre- quent Transit Corridors.
