Pathways are important for both their space linking function as well as their ability to reveal the landscape to the pedestrian in motion and harmonize the linked spaces. Pathways should be considered in the larger context as opportunities to enrich the campus and should therefore be designed on a campus- wide basis, not on a project by project basis. Overall, the recommendations for pedestrian and bicycle circulation routes are: • Pathway widths should be narrowed and rationalized to improve and dene and separate pedestrian, vehicular and service vehicle traffic. • A clear connection from the campus to Confederation rail should be created. • Improved connections to the north campus naturalized open space should be established to promote this area as a passive recreation district. • Conicts between vehicles and pedestrians, and vehicles and bicycles should be reduced. • Bicycle parking areas should be improved in function and appearance . • Accessibility decits should be improved upon or eliminated.

Pedestrian Circulation
Te creation of a coherent circulation system as an organizingfactor will lend meaning order and clarity to the campuscirculation system Te distinction between automobile and
pedestrian routes can be clari1047297ed through their design andthe inclusion of elements such as lighting plant material andsite furnishings that will further de1047297ne spatial corridors andgive them a visual hierarchy
Generally all streets and pathways should be properly scaledwell-marked with appropriate signage well-lighted andunambiguous as to appropriateness for pedestrian bicycleor vehicular traffi c Te campus environment should aimto be completely barrier-free with the design of circulationsystems representing this
Pathways are important for both their space linking functionas well as their ability to reveal the landscape to the pedestrian
in motion and harmonize the linked spaces Pathways shouldbe considered in the larger context as opportunities to enrichthe campus and should therefore be designed on a campus-wide basis not on a project by project basis
Overall the recommendations for pedestrian and bicyclecirculation routes are
bull Pathway widths should be narrowed and rationalized
to improve and de1047297ne and separate pedestrian vehicular and service vehicle traffi c
bull A clear connection from the campus to Confederationrail should be created
bull Improved connections to the north campus naturalizedopen space should be established to promote this areaas a passive recreation district

Executive Summary
Vehicular Circulation
Vehicular Circulation
Vehicular circulation should be accommodated in a safeand effi cient manner but should be considered a subsidiaryfunction to pedestrian and bicycle movement
Site improvements such as sidewalks lighting street treesand signs should be an integral part of all campus roadwayprojects they should be required as part of the design and
construction of all new roads As a rule campus streets shouldbe planted with deciduous canopy trees while allowing clearsightlines under the branches Te species should be consistentalong any given street
Every effort should be made to mitigate pedestrian and vehicular con1047298icts within campus boundaries and alongBelvedere and University Avenues o that end the PedestrianCirculation Plan indicates several changes to parking andstreets
Te Vehicular Circulation Plan highlights proposed street andparking systems
bull Sidewalks should line new roads with a 30m plantedbuffer between the curb and the outside edge of thesidewalk
bull All sidewalks should be connected to the overallpedestrian network
