DESIGN BRIEF [DOWNLOAD]

edge: existing conditions
East Ladner is located on the eastern portion of the larger Lander community, bisected by Hwy 17 and Hwy 10. The area is situated on alluvial soils on the Fraser River floodplain, and drains via pumps, dikes, and floodgates. The community is surrounded by rich farmland and ALR, with a desire for healthy rural / residential interfaces.

edge: 50 year VISION
Facilitate and implement a vision of a complete and sustainable East Ladner community which
will:
• Have a vibrant Civic Centre District;
• Integrate, capitalize on, and add value to the edges of selected urban land uses with agricultural and natural areas where appropriate, while respecting their unique needs and functions;
• Support compact communities through infill and strategic edge development to resist
developing into surrounding agricultural lands.
• House 1900 new residents by 2050;
• Support between 1620 and 1650 new jobs by 2050;
