How is this development different than Coquitlam’s existing density around transit?

Coquitlam has had a Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (PDF) for over 10 years, aimed at insuring new development around rapid transit supported higher density, was pedestrian friendly, and had a mix of land uses (e.g. retail, residential, parks) to ensure people could live, work and play close to high quality transit service. 

The new density mandated by the Province, means that there will be higher density in some areas near SkyTrain where it had not been before. And some areas that were previously identified for townhouses will now allow apartments.
