Motion of support with conditions.
The Committee recommends the following:
● Providing as much bicycle infrastructure (including secure, covered parking) at as many stops and stations as possible, and providing safe and convenient connections to bicycle paths, routes and networks wherever possible, to maximize multi-modal transportation choices for users.
● Ensuring all buildings and structures (including stations, maintenance facilities and TPSSs) otherwise requiring Development Permits (ie. outside the ROW) to be presented to the Edmonton Design Committee.
● Exploring above grade connectivity across 87 Avenue at both the West Edmonton Mall and Misericordia station - to maximize accessibility from these communities south of the LRT alignment.
● Exploring the opportunity to upgrade utilities in conjunction with the construction of the LRT, to achieve more integrative city-building outcomes. Conduct a feasibility study which identifies opportunities for utility upgrades along the LRT corridor to support anticipated TOD development.
● Exploring the opportunity to adjust the site design of the Lewis Farms Station and Park and Ride Facility to accommodate future redevelopment and land use intensification (including but not limited to mixed use development and structured parking) in line with City of Edmonton TOD policies and guidelines. As required, structure the Project Agreement to facilitate this transformation and intensification.
