Springbrook Development Concepts and Summary
from Springbrook Gasoline Alley Area Structure Plan given first reading January 31, 2006
 

One of the goals of the Area Structure Plan is to maintain the character and natural features of the community while, at the same time, integrating the various components of the area.

A mixed-use commercial-residential town centre approach is encouraged in the area northeast of the recreation complex northwest of the swale. New buildings would be 2 to 3 stories with commercial at street level, residential above.

Northwest of the town centre would be medium to high density housing located in the current vicinity of the barracks and parade square.
A new road is envisioned along the northwest side of the swale tentatively referred to as Mynarski Boulevard in the plan.

The area between the road and the swale would maintain its ecology with a trail encouraging pedestrian movement in the community in a green belt on each side of the swale.

The swale/pathway system would connect the residential, commercial and recreational areas with the wetlands, tree stands and proposed sports fields, campground, schools and park to the south and the industrial and airport area to the west. The plan suggests that some initiatives could be undertaken to preserve the historical, cultural and ecological features of the area including the significance of the former base, the railway and the Calgary Edmonton Trail. A series of walking/bicycle trails would link the community with Penhold to the south, the Red Deer River to the west, Red Deer to the north and ecological and heritage features within the study area.

New neighbourhoods should maintain the overall character of the existing community with back alleys and garages located in the rear of homes. Tree plantings in the front and pedestrian friendly pathways or sidewalks would encourage interaction within the community.

Residential expansion will occur east toward the rail line and north. The expected population when filled out will be around 5-8,000.
