At their Council Workshop on January 21st, Council directed staff to proceed with public engagement on the updated concept Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan to gather feedback from the community and report back to Council. The report presented includes an updated concept plan for the Lougheed Transit Corridor following TransLink’s recent announcement on January 16, 2025 regarding the planned location of future BRT stations on Lougheed Highway at 203 Street, 207 Street, Laity Street, and 216 Street. Staff’s proposed changes to the LTCAP include expanded area plan boundaries, new land use designations and key destinations along the corridor, updated land use and housing data, and new design concepts for the greenway.  

Area Plan Boundaries:  

The LTCAP study area extends beyond the Lougheed Corridor, recognizing the opportunity for redevelopment in the area and to build a transit-oriented and well-connected neighbourhood. The updated LTCAP concept plan includes an expanded plan area boundary south of Lougheed Highway and north of Dewdney Trunk Road. The expanded boundary increases the total size of the LTCAP area from 2.1 to 3.5 km2. 

Land Use Designations:  

The updated concept plan for LTCAP includes new land use designations that support transit-oriented development and affordable housing near the proposed BRT stations. It offers flexibility for new residential, commercial, and mixed-use development, and implements the provincial legislation for Small Scale Multi-Unit Housing.
