Elkins advised his client proposes to renovate the existing building into an office building and construct a new fitness centre. S. Elkins explained a traffic impact study identified the need for left turn lanes in both directions at St. Leger Street and the need for a westbound left turn lane at Ellen Street to address existing traffic conditions. The study also recommended a two-way left turn lane be installed rather than separate left turn lanes. The estimated cost of the two-way left turn lane option is approximately $204,500 and the cost to provide exclusive left turn lanes is approximately $171,500.

  • The Cultural Turn in Municipal Planning
    The Cultural Turn in Municipal Planning by Jason F. Kovacs A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Jason F. Kovacs 2009 Author’s declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Jason F. Kovacs ii Abstract Urban theorists and policy makers have begun to re-evaluate the importance of culture in urban development models. Culture is now widely viewed as a critical factor in the economic and social health of cities. Notions of creativity and the growing recognition of the role that culture-rich environments can play in attracting the “creative class,” are being partly expressed in the widespread adoption of urban cultural planning strategies. Cultural planning is commonly defined as the identification (mapping) and leveraging of cultural assets to support local community and economic development. It is also often explained as a “cultural approach” to municipal planning, an approach that entails effective cross-departmental and cross-sectoral collaboration in the implementation of strategic goals outlined within the cultural plan. A literature has been written on the potential of cultural planning by leading experts in the cultural policy field, especially from Australia and Britain. However, there has been a noticeable lack of critical research on this cultural development approach by scholars in Canada, where cultural planning is a relatively new and emerging municipal activity.
