In case you didn't make it out to yesterday's Open House at The Forks, attached are details on draft changes to Winnipeg Zoning By-laws.
Why would AT Network subscribers be interested?
Check out the following:
- reductions in parking requirements for developments (though "maximums" in car parking could be even better than reduced minimums)
- carsharing (like Peg City Car Co-op) and more bike parking at developments to offset car parking requirements
- new standards for bike parking including improved lighting and access
- improvements in pedestrian connections to new developments
- permit residential at ground floor (with some exceptions) and above the ground floor in all Downtown areas - means more people living downtown and able to walk or bike to destinations
- limits to surface parking
Find more details in the attached pdf.
cheers,
