The Broadway Plan is a comprehensive plan to guide growth, positive change, and the delivery of public amenities in the areas around the Broadway Subway.
It is estimated that the Plan will create capacity for up to 64,000 additional residents and 45,000 additional jobs and will be implemented over time, through:
- Development proposals by landowners in the Broadway Plan area
- City-initiated zoning amendments
- Public amenities and infrastructure projects
- Policy additions or amendments as needed
The vision is for the Broadway Plan neighbourhoods to be highly walkable, vibrant, inclusive with distinctive places to live, work, play and learn, connected to the region by the Broadway Subway.
Over the next 30 years, the Broadway Plan (2022) offers significant opportunities to integrate:
- Additional housing and job space
- New shops and services
- Amenities close to high-quality rapid transit
These opportunities will create complete, inclusive, and affordable transit-oriented neighbourhoods.

Zoning changes in some areas of the Broadway Plan
On October 7, 2025, Council approved rezoning of some areas within the Broadway Plan to new low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise residential district schedules.
These zoning changes will:
