The Site Design Guidelines project was initiated by CITE, and with funding support from Transport Canada and ITE, was completed in 2004. At that stage, a series of workshops on the guidelines was presented across the country. The guidelines are being adopted as an ITE Recommended Practice.
To contribute to the practical and effective application of the guidelines, CITE and ITE have funded the development of Greenmodes, a knowledge transfer software system. This system has now been completed and CITE is launching an active marketing plan to promote its widespread application.
The Guidelines
The underlying theme of these guidelines is the integral relationship between land use, development characteristics, and transportation facilities and services. As a result, more than half of the 230 guidelines address decisions made by planners and architects.
The guidelines present practices and policies that enhance the attractiveness, convenience and safety of walking, cycling, ridesharing and transit, through the consideration of:
- Building placement
- Pedestrian and bicycle facilities
- Transit planning and facilities
- Access and internal roads
- Parking supply and placement
- Loading and pick-up / drop-off facilities
- Guide signing
- Street furniture and landscaping
- Showers, change rooms and lockers.
