Smart Transit Plan
Where do buses fit in your neighbourhood? Should the Central Okanagan have rapid transit?
Development patterns within North America are changing. There is an increasing awareness that inefficient land use development within our towns and cities, made possible by the automobile, is not sustainable in the long term. New emphasis is being placed upon the notion of integrated transportation and land use planning known as Transit-Oriented Development or TOD.
TOD can best be described as compact, mixed-use development providing places to live, work, shop and learn – in a pedestrian-friendly environment, built nearby convenient public transit, to enable less dependency upon the private automobile.
