Schedule 18: Vehicular Circulation<\/p><\/div>\n

BU benefits from being well integrated into its urban\u00a0fabric by means of a grid network of north-south and\u00a0east-west streets. This allows the Campus to be well\u00a0accessed by all modes of transportation from every\u00a0direction. Once one reaches the periphery of the campus,\u00a0however, vehicular circulation is primarily for the\u00a0purpose of accessing parking, servicing corridors, or to\u00a0connect to the neighbourhoods. Vehicular circulation\u00a0through the Campus and the function of the streets gives\u00a0priority to pedestrian and cycling movement. The Campus\u00a0Master Plan recommends a strategy for surface parking\u00a0either on street, below grade in new buildings, or in\u00a0parking structures. Other than service vehicles, vehicular\u00a0circulation functions primarily to get cars into parking\u00a0facilities at the perimeter of the campus.<\/p>\n

Street Network<\/h2>\n

The Movement Framework is defined by a system of\u00a0external city streets, internal campus streets, laneways,\u00a0and service routes. The Campus Master\u00a0Plan increases\u00a0road connections\u00a0to the surrounding\u00a0neighbourhood to\u00a0make the Campus more\u00a0accessible, and walkable. The Plan includes recommendations\u00a0for the external city streets because they affect the\u00a0way in which students and the community access the\u00a0University. The character of these streets also play a\u00a0role in defining the character and identity of the Campus\u00a0along its edges. The following section defines the\u00a0hierarchy of streets within the Framework and provides a\u00a0structure for how the different modes of movement work\u00a0together to create a walkable, safe, pedestrian-oriented\u00a0environment. Each street is described below and cross-section\u00a0details are provided, including for 18th Street.<\/p>\n

\n

Boundary Streets<\/h2>\n

These main streets comprise the main boundaries of the campus, including 18th Street, Victoria Avenue and Princess Avenue.<\/p>\n

Internal Streets<\/h2>\n

These streets are internal to the campus, although still part of the city\u2019s street network, including Louise Avenue and 20th Street.<\/p>\n

Residential Streets & Service Routes<\/h2>\n

These smaller roads and access routes are nevertheless important for access to all points on campus.<\/p>\n

Laneways<\/h2>\n

Shared laneways are vehicular and service access routes to\u00a0existing and new buildings fronting 20th Street. They are also pedestrian circulation routes that connect to pathways\u00a0and linkages into the Campus.<\/p>\n
