VISION + PRIORITY DIRECTIONS DESIGN VISION The Tannery District is an innovative, sustainable neighbourhood that celebrates its rich history as an industrial destination in the Town of Cobourg, while looking toward the future. Grounded in the 10 One Planet principles for measuring ecological and carbon footprinting, the Tannery District supports a healthy and vibrant sense of community, and a diverse mix of people, places, cultures and experiences . A range of housing options ensure a diverse population, affording the opportunity to age-in-place, and establish roots in the community. Compact blocks, a well-connected network of streets and trails, and convenient access to the train station encourage active living and promote alternative modes of transportation . Engaging and attractive parks and public spaces support both casual gathering, and active recreation, within an extensive natural setting that prioritizes and celebrates ecological functionality and sustainability. All of this is founded on a strong local economy where neighbourhood entrepreneurs, artists, and other specialists compliment the Downtown businesses, supporting a Town- wide culture of locally-sourced goods and services . 15 SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBOURHOOD MASTER PLAN FOR THE TANNERY DISTRICT DESIGN CONCEPTS WORKSHOP
