Plans Concepts and Policies
In 2008, a Visioning Session and Land Use Exercise with
local residents, commercial property owners and other area
stakeholders produced a Vision and a set of Guiding Principles for
policy creation.

Vision
Banff Trail Station Area will become the heartland for the community: a
gathering place where residents and tourists can shop, dine, work, be
entertained, and meet their daily needs. It will overcome the stigma of
being an unattractive “Motel Village” and auto-dominated environment
to become a safe, mixed use, well-connected and pedestrian-friendly,
place. Existing residential community character will be preserved,
while places with an opportunity to change will enhance the area.

Guiding Principles
• Introduce an integrated street network • Establish land use precincts • Integrate with community
• Prioritize modes of transportation • Facilitate a broad mix of transit supportive uses • Ensure quality building design
• Creating vibrant pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets • Ensure appropriate ground level uses and design • Green infrastructure and green
• Creating great open spaces • Manage parking buildings
• Ensure accessibility in the public realm • Ensure transit supportive density • Create a diverse and inclusive
community
• Incorporate public art • Include a variety of building types
• Make it happen



Plans Concepts and Policies The Proposed ARP includes four primary policy sections:
