C2.15 Reduce the impacts of transportation infra- structure on the natural environment including watercourses, vegetation, trees, agriculture and conservation lands by:  Reducing the amount of stormwater

C2.17 Develop a safer, more convenient and fully accessible pedestrian network by implement- ing Surrey’s Walking Plan (as amende d), in- cluding:  Providing sidewalks and walkways for access within and between neighbour- hoods  Shortening crossing distances across roadways, where feasible  Linking major destination points, such as Town Centres, workplaces, transit stops, transit stations and exchanges, schools, parks, community facilities and neighourhood commercial areas  Considering and addressing issues of urban design, universal access, sustaina- bility, public health and public safety in development proposals  Ensuring City inter-departmental collabo- ration to promote and support active transportation. C2.18 Create short-block, well-connected street networks in new neighbourhoods and rede- velopment areas using a grid or modified grid pattern that is convenient and interesting for pedestrians. C2.19 Where creating smaller blocks is not feasible, use public walkways and Rights-of-Way to effectively link residential areas to neighbour- hood amenities such as transit stops, shops, parks, schools and greenways.

runoff that enters watercourses from roads by capturing pollutants and sedi- ments before they enter the natural en- vironment  Pursuing the greening and planting of trees along streets and pathways  Providing wildlife passages at key loca- tions as identified in the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (as amended)  Modifying road layouts and cross sec- tions, where feasible, to protect signifi- cant trees and natural areas.
