“To make daily trips shorter, healthier, and less car-dependent, our municipality must proactively integrate land-use planning with transit and active transportation networks. This means championing complete, 15-minute communities by modernizing zoning bylaws to permit "missing middle" housing, such as townhomes, duplexes, and gentle mid-rise infill—alongside neighborhood commercial amenities like corner grocers, medical offices, and daycare spaces within residential areas. Crucially, we must direct higher-density, mixed-use developments along major transit and rapid-transit corridors while eliminating outdated parking minimums, ensuring that housing growth is paired immediately with convenient transit links, safe cycling grids, and walkable services so residents can meet their daily needs close to home.”
