The Palliser Trail Area Structure Plan (ASP) is a framework to guide future change and growth in the Palliser Trail area.
Project Information
An Area Structure Plan (ASP) is a high-level land use plan that provides a framework for future development in a specific area. It identifies a high-level future vision for the area and provides a conceptual layout for general land uses, utility infrastructure, roads, public spaces and recreation.
We reviewed the current Palliser Trail ASP to ensure it remains relevant and to identify opportunities for improvement. Updated policy was informed by four key goals:
- Prioritize the development of diverse, affordable, and attainable housing.
- Encourage the creation of a complete, mixed-use, and walkable neighbourhood.
- Create new opportunities on Town of Canmore and Canmore Community Housing (CCH) lands.
- Align the Area Structure Plan with current Town, Council, and community priorities
Project Update - Nov. 7, 2023
Council gave their blessing to the Palliser Trail ASP - a monumental plan led by the Town of Canmore to create a complete, walkable, mixed-use, and sustainable community capable of offering up to 1,000 non-market units that can meet the needs of residents.
