Large (60-249 lots) and very large (250+ lots) subdivisions
# Objective
To provide attractive and continuous landscaping in streets and public open spaces that contribute to the character and identity of new neighbourhoods and urban places or to existing or preferred neighbourhood character in existing urban areas.
# Summary
Better Practice is awarded where two bicycle hoops are provided at logical and context-sensitive locations along all off-road active transport network paths (e.g., near intersections, rest areas, community facilities), with an average spacing of approximately 1,250 metres. This standard only applies where at least 1,250 continuous metres of the active transport network abuts the subdivision.
Excellence is awarded where two bicycle hoops are provided at logical and context-sensitive locations along all off-road active transport network paths (e.g., near intersections, rest areas, community facilities), with an average spacing of approximately 1,000 metres. This standard only applies where at least 1,000 continuous metres of the active transport network abuts the subdivision.
Applicants should demonstrate how the spacing is achieved through mapping, design documentation, or spatial analysis.
