Killarney Neighbourhood Renewal
2.1 Community Vision and Guiding Principles
The following community Vision and Guiding Principles were developed through the public engagement process. The Vision provides a short
description that sets the direction for the community’s future livability. Guiding Principles provide ideas that inform how the Vision is applied to
the neighbourhood design and how decisions are made.
Public input on existing issues and future opportunities for Killarney was received at the Building a Project Vision Together stage. This feedback
informed the development of the draft community Vision and Guiding Principles. Through the next phase, the draft community Vision and Guiding
Principles were shared with the public.
Community Vision
“ Killarney is a welcoming and friendly neighbourhood defined by diverse
opportunities for people to live, work, play and learn. Killarney is defined
by its pleasant atmosphere, neighbourliness and access to a broad
range of amenities. The neighbourhood is family-friendly and residents
are well connected to parks, schools and commercial services.

2.2 Urban design focus areas
Building on the community Vision and Guiding Principles, the Urban Design Focus Areas, illustrated on Map 1, shows the interrelationship between
all recommended draft designs. The draft designs address gaps and create opportunities that were identified in the Urban Design Analysis
Background Report and through public engagement input. Draft designs were developed during the UDA and associated public engagement
process.
Draft urban designs
The following is a list of recommended draft designs, organized under the relevant analysis theme. Recommended draft designs for each focus
area are explained in detail in the following sections.

Exploring Options and Tradeoffs - 128 Avenue bike route
During the Exploring Options and Tradeoffs event, the Project Team asked the public to provide their input on three different bike route types for
128 Avenue. Benefits and tradeoffs of the following bike route types were shared with the public at the July 2020 Exploring Options and Tradeoffs
events for feedback.
Protected bike routes Benefits Tradeoffs
Protected bike routes are on-street bike ++ People who bike have their own space, ++ May result in loss of parking on one side

++ May result in reduction of travel lanes
What we heard
++ Community members are concerned with the loss of parking
++ Participants indicated that bikes should be separate from the sidewalk
++ Community members are concerned with the impacts on traffic movement
++ Participants noted some support for this bike route option

Design considerations and technical routes and facilities that prevent injuries
requirements and encourage more people to bike
++ Design the roadway to reduce fast moving ++ Access design guide - include access and
