Intensification Area Urban Design Guidelines - City of Barrie

Built Form
n) The station building within a Major Transit Station Area
should be designed and massed as a landmark building
to reinforce the importance of the site, and assist with
wayfinding throughout the City.
o) Buildings within Major Transit Station Areas should
include canopies (and other weather protection at the
building edge), and internal passages where feasible, to
ensure a continuous, weather-protected connection to
the station.
p) It is particularly important that buildings within the Major
Transit Station Areas have a pedestrian scaled building
base (up to 4-storeys), in order to ensure an environment
where pedestrians can comfortably walk or cycle to and
from the station area

q) The main entrances at transit stations should include
transit-related amenities (i.e. signage, ticket machines,
etc.), as well as amenities for those who may be waiting
for a connection (i.e. public art, seating, food, etc.).
r) Transit stations should include an abundance of bicycle
parking and storage facilities, in order to encourage
users to connect to the station through active modes of
transportation (i.e. cycling).
s) Station design should adhere to the principles of Crime
Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) to
ensure the safe usage of the station at all times of day.
