Council adopted the North Gateway Plan in 2022 after extensive public input. The plan anticipates 1,200 new residential units, 400 new hotel rooms, new ice surfaces, renewed public spaces including multi-use paths and treelined streets, and continued investment in signature facilities. An attached hotel was identified as one of its key moves to realize this vision.
In particular, the North Gateway will target a variety of housing mixes, including:
- Residential housing supply – from apartments to townhomes – will see 1,750 to 2,250 new units
- Employee housing supply will account for between five and 10 per cent of housing development
Transportation Update
A number of changes are envisioned for roads and intersections in and around the North Gateway as the area builds out over the next 10 to 20 plus years. Council received an update on the proposed transportation network and the plan as a whole at their meeting on May 2, 2023.
