The land use plan for the Hyde Park community provides a mix of
residential, retail, open space and community uses that are arranged
to facilitate linkages through the neighbourhoods to facilitate travel
by automobile, walking, transit and bicycle.
The road pattern and recommended land uses within the Hyde Park
Community have been designed to ensure compatibility with the
existing developed areas including the residential neighbourhoods
of Whitehills and Gainsborough Meadows, the Hyde Park hamlet
and the existing land uses west of Hyde Park Road.
The road network has been designed to provide for connections to
the existing built up areas, reduce through traffic and also provide a
range of opportunities and choice of routes for future residents. A
combination of schools, parks and open space provides neighbourhood
focal points for both neighbourhood I(N1) and neighbourhood
2 (N2).
Natural features in the Hyde Park Community have been identified
for possible retention and incorporation into the new neighbourhoods.
An emphasis has been placed on providing community linkages
which will connect the natural system through a series of open
spaces, stormwater management facilities, park and school sites
