COMMUNITY VOICES WELL-PLANNED NEIGHBOURHOODS

Lakeshore is Growing: Implementing Housing Options WHAT IS GENTLE DENSITY? Gentle density means adding housing, businesses, and services that fit well within the physical form of existing neighbourhoods. It includes housing types such as a duplex, triplex, fourplex, townhouse, and apartments up to 6 storeys.

Why Gentle Density Matters:

LAKESHORE’S FUTURE

More housing choices – options for people with different needs at different stages of life.

Lower inf rastructure costs – fewer roads, sewers, and services save municipalities money.

Thoughtful land use – preserves natural areas and prioritizes ecological connectivity and local food growth.

Stronger communities – people live closer to f riends, family, places of employment, education, and daily needs, making life more connected and convenient.

Accessible and equitable- short distances between housing and other parts of daily life makes walking, biking, and other forms of mobility easier, reducing reliance on cars.

URBAN

Why, How and Where We Build Matters:

Sprawling development costs the public 2–3 times more than compact/ urban neighbourhoods.

The cost to build, operate and maintain roads, pipes, sewers, and utilities are higher due to greater lengths and longer travel times.
