SUSTAINABILITY
The New Monaco neighbourhood is a great example of smart growth development, including planning for:
-
Mixed use zoning allowing a wide range of uses to support people living, working, playing, learning and shopping in the neighbourhood;
-
Compact development that preserves a significant amount of the site as natural and park space;
-
Higher densities that support both convenient transit systems and local businesses;
-
A fine-grained network of paths, sidewalks and greenways to support walking and cycling over using a vehicle to move around the neighbourhood;
-
Infrastructure to support electric vehicles and scooters;
-
A centralized parking supply that supplies various uses over a day; and
-
Links to local and regional transit lines, including a rapid bus line.
