103 <strong>Urban</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> for <strong>Barrie</strong>’s <strong>Intensification</strong> <strong>Area</strong>s - DRAFT<br />
5.6 Major Transit Station <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong><br />
As new development occurs in the <strong>Intensification</strong> <strong>Area</strong>s, it is essential that some<br />
<strong>of</strong> the greatest densities are concentrated within a ten-minute (500 metre)<br />
walking distance <strong>of</strong> the Major Transit Station <strong>Area</strong>s to support a viable transit<br />
network, and promote an active community where residents are encouraged to<br />
walk, cycle and take public transit as an alternative to personal vehicles.<br />
