The second component proposes to amend the Riverview Area Structure Plan (ASP). The amendment will align with the proposed NSP and update the Land Use and Population Statistics and figures.

In addition, Administration is proposing additional policy changes in this NSP to better align with current direction from The City Plan, Safe Mobility Strategy, Complete Streets Design and Construction Standards, the Bike Plan and the Bike Plan Implementation Guide.
