Riley communities local area plan

Phase 4: Realize

hey riley communities, your local area plan is ready!

That’s you Hillhurst, Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill, Sunnyside, and West Hillhurst.

Wondering what the Plan is all about and some of the key ideas?

• The Riley Communities Local Area Plan sets the vision for the evolution of the area over the next 30 years, including direction on future development and investment.

• A few of the key ideas in the plan include:

  • Foster Vibrant Transit Station Areas

  • Incentivize Heritage Retention in the Riley Communities

  • Increase Housing Choice and Affordability

  • Enhance Local Parks and Open Spaces

  • Improve Pedestrian and Cycling Pathways

Change is gradual but having a plan in place to guide change – from proposals for new homes and businesses to future investment into community spaces – helps ensure change is aligned to the future vision for the area.
