- Louise Avenue must be designed to create a seamless\u00a0continuity between the north and south campus\u00a0quadrants with multiple pedestrian crossings and\u00a0continuous materiality across the street.<\/li>\n
- Design Louise Avenue to accommodate a high degree\u00a0of pedestrian movement between the buildings and\u00a0open spaces that define it.<\/li>\n
- The profile for the street should be beautiful and\u00a0inviting, with a full canopy of trees and landscaping\u00a0on both sides of the street.<\/li>\n
- Provide on-street parking in lay-by spaces integrated\u00a0between parking bump-outs.<\/li>\n
- Parking bump-out areas along the Avenue are the\u00a0pedestrian crossing points, which should provide\u00a0clear uncluttered passage and include wayfinding\u00a0signage.<\/li>\n
- Maintain the dedicated drop-off and pick-up zone\u00a0fronting the Healthy Living Centre.<\/li>\n
- Integrate the Healthy Living Centre front plaza into\u00a0the streetscape design for Louise Avenue.<\/li>\n
- Consider raised cross-walks at the crossing points as\u00a0traffic calming measures.<\/li>\n
- Provide a minimum 4.0m building setback on\u00a0either side of the road for any new building for\u00a0additional landscaping, tree planting, sidewalks space,\u00a0furnishing, and art.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

20th Street<\/h2>\n
20th Street is an important street in the Movement\u00a0Framework. It is envisioned as a beautiful, walkable,\u00a0intimate two lane tree-lined corridor, with generous\u00a0sidewalks, slow moving traffic, lay-by parking, and\u00a0enhanced streetscaping and pedestrian crossings. It is\u00a0the \u201cstring of pearls\u201d connecting a series of significant\u00a0and unique campus open spaces, and is the point of\u00a0connection with the neighbourhood streets, parking\u00a0amenities, and linkages to the Campus.<\/p>\n
Policies:<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Design 20th Street to accommodate a high degree\u00a0of pedestrian movement between the buildings and\u00a0open spaces that define it.<\/li>\n
- The streetscape design should allow for street closure\u00a0for events and festivals.<\/li>\n
- Provide on-street parking in lay-by spaces integrated\u00a0between parking bump-outs. Parking bump-out areas\u00a0should function as places for additional landscaping,\u00a0wayfinding signage, art, and street furnishing such as\u00a0benches and bike parking.<\/li>\n
- Provide a minimum 4.0m building setback on\u00a0either side of the road for any new building for\u00a0additional landscaping, tree planting, sidewalks space,\u00a0furnishing, and art.<\/li>\n
- Provide signage and clear visibility along the street\u00a0to structured parking and below grade parking access\u00a0points within buildings, and to service corridors\u00a0access points throughout the Campus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The internal campus streets are important in connecting\u00a0Brandon University with the surrounding neighbourhood\u00a0and in making the campus accessible to the community.\u00a0They should function as walkable, animated pedestrian\u00a0spaces.
