Urban beautification
Through a partnership between the Clean, Green and Beautiful Committee and the City’s Planning Division, an Urban Design study was completed in 2012. The City now has two documents, the Urban Design Guidelines and the Image Route Guidelines, that guide the design of private and public lands improving the quality of our City's built environment.

| The Image Route Guidelines identify key streets in our city called "image routes" and describe ways that we can enhance these routes.
