Overall, the proposed development is consistent with the Transportation and Access goals <br />of the Master Plan. <br />Trails, Open Space <br />• A trail connection, included as an `enhancement corridor' in the Parks, Natural Open <br />Space/Greenways and Trail System Plan, will be established across the study area. <br />This will link to the existing trail connection to Woodridge Lane on the west, cross <br />through the study area, and link to a future trail in Ware Road. The specific <br />alignment of this trail corridor across the Master Plan area will be determined as <br />development occurs. <br />The Lyngblomsten site plan includes an 8.5 foot wide bituminous trail that extends from <br />the existing Woodridge Lane trail to the private cottage home road then to an 8.5 ft wide <br />trail along the full length of Hodgson Road. The trail corridor originally connected to the <br />clubhouse and between the cottage homes but this has been revised when the clubhouse <br />was omitted. <br />An 8.5 ft wide bituminous trail will also be constructed along CRJ/Ash Street and <br />ultimately connect to Woodridge Lane. <br />Sidewalks internal to the development along the public and private roads will also be <br />constructed to provide additional connectivity. <br />• An, open, focal point green space is to be created where the Woodridge Lane trail <br />connection enters the study area. The specific design of this focal point will be <br />reviewed with any development application for the site. <br />The original concept site plan included a community garden and lilac trees adjacent to the <br />wetland that created an open, focal point green space in this location. Due to the need for <br />additional storm water management, the community garden has been replaced by a <br />stormwater pond. The pond and landscaping still creates an open, focal green space as <br />required. <br />The cottage home neighborhood also includes 4.54 aeros (7 ) 4.46 acres (70%) of <br />landscaped common open space that will be maintained by Lyngblomsten or an <br />association. <br />• A trail should be constructed along Hodgson Road in accordance with the City's <br />parks and trails plan. This could be accomplished with sidewalks in the study area. <br />An 9 8.5 ft wide bituminous trail is proposed along the full length of Hodgson Road. <br />Sidewalks are also proposed along the public and private roads. <br />12 <br />
