PROJECT OVERVIEW | Study Purpose
The GO Train Lakeshore East Line extension from Oshawa to Bowmanville will bring two new transportation hubs to Courtice and Bowmanville.
Goals of the Clarington Transportation Hubs Study include:
• Provide a vision and guiding principles for future development
• Review market potential for each transportation hub
• Develop a land use concept for the 500 to 800 metre area around each station
• Propose a future development concept for the immediate area around the station (within a 250 metre radius)
• Provide direction for the new South Courtice Employment Secondary Plan
• Guide updates to the Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan.

BACKGROUND | Council’s Vision (OP)
“Transportation Hubs shall provide for a mix of
uses at higher densities, which are complementary
in terms of scale, design and context and designed to support transit services.“ - Official Plan, Section 10.8
Relevant Policies Include:– To promote high employment densities within proximity to
Courtice Transportation Hub (11.2.6)
– Minimum net density of 200 units per net hectare and 5+
storey height within the transportation hubs (Table 4-3)
– Direct higher density development and economic activity
around the Transportation Hubs (19.4.4(a))
![Page 13: Transportation Hubs Presentation to Council · 2017-07-05 · PROJECT OVERVIEW | Study Purpose The GO Train Lakeshore East Line extension from Oshawa to Bowmanville will bring two](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050117/5f4de1d5c924cd35836403e4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BACKGROUND | Market Review Residential GO Station Areas
Key Research Findings - Impact on Demand:
• general weakness in high density residential markets outside of the City of Toronto
• the frequency of service;
• the nature of the surrounding land use pattern, often industrial;
• the lack of a residential context or appealing investment environment for office development; and,
• given the above, the need still to own a car for most daily needs.
![Page 14: Transportation Hubs Presentation to Council · 2017-07-05 · PROJECT OVERVIEW | Study Purpose The GO Train Lakeshore East Line extension from Oshawa to Bowmanville will bring two](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050117/5f4de1d5c924cd35836403e4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BACKGROUND | Market Review - Employment GO Station Areas
Key Research Findings - Impact on Demand :
• Access to workers:. Higher local and regional populations and densities increase the pool of potential employees and therefore positively impact the prospect of a location.
• Transit: Regional transit (GO) and local transit (bus, LRT, subway) are often noted by office developers and tenants as key factors when selecting a location.
• Accessibility and parking: Despite the importance placed on transit and walkability, many businesses will also place a very high importance on accessibility by automobile and the availability of parking.
• Amenities and urban environment: Office developers and tenants often look for locations that are attractive, well-designed and s that offer a wide range of amenities and surrounding commercial uses.

BACKGROUND | Market Review
Key Takeaways:
– Public investment in urban spaces, trails and other features can ultimately link employment uses in a high quality setting and attract a young, skilled and mobile labour force
– Impact on commercial office and retail markets will be limited in the first 15 years
– Potential for near term residential, retail and parking development to transition into higher density office and commercial uses
– Develop parking lots within an urban block plan to facilitate future redevelopment
Courtice:
– Restrict employment uses that may discourage investment south of the Courtice GO station
Bowmanville:
– Initial developments will likely be 4-6 storey residential condominiums.
