Segment 6





The corridor was divided into segments for ease of work. For each segment, four factors were mapped: existing vegetation, habitat types, zoning, and barriers.

Your diagrams are great, very legible. If possible, it would be helpful to see percentages.
I am curious as to how you divided the corridor into segments (length, area, ecotones, etc.)? Also, which segment are you detailing and why did you choose that segment?

The corridor was divided into segments based purely on size (length) and ease of working (file size). I have created the same diagrams for each segment. For the next step, I am choosing three sites from three segments that represent different conditions.
1. Richmond - the corridor runs through agricultural land. An existing recreational trail is present.
2. Burnaby - the corridor runs through a residential area.
3. Coquitlam - one of the most difficult parts of the corridor. Here the corridor includes several roads, an under-used industrial area, and a large parking lot.
