1. PROPOSED LAND USE
The proposed land use seeks to create high-value rela-
tionships between land uses, create town and neighbor-
hood centers at walkable scales, ultimately seeking to
foster more sustainable, human-scale, ecologically-sound
development patterns.
Creating better transistions between land uses, especially
along arterials, can help to capture better value in terms
or goods and services availability, cultural exchange op-
portunities, a synergisticly positive relationship of com-
mercial, employment and residential uses to transit and
infrastructure investment.
Similarly, location of goods and services providers in
positions that promote walkability and shorter trips cre-
ates healthier neighborhoods, more interaction between
neighbors, support for transit, and a better sense of com-
munity from the standpoint of placemaking.
More compact neighborhoods that incorporate the rich
educational, cultural and health values of contact with
high-functioning natural systems also foster walkability, a
sense of place, stewardship opportunities and community
cohesion.
All of these moves see the Bear Creek area becoming a
strong, high-functioning, high value capture area that fos-
ters a vibrant community while creating a highly-sustain-
able vision for Surrey’s future.
KEY MOVES:
- Improve habitat diversity, soften edges and im-
prove connectivity wherever possible
- Develop an extensive, integrated system of trails
and paths along riparian corridors
- Develop programs to foster habitat edges along
residential adjacencies
- Foster stewardship and community involvement in
the design and maintenance of the Bear Creek trail
and park system
- Create community locations for interpretive
learning activities and community events
surrounding the Bear Creek watershed and stream
systems.
