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 opportunities, 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 community 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-sustainable vision for Surrey’s future. KEY MOVES: - Improve habitat diversity, soften edges and improve 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.

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 improve 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.
