Bisset is named for Judge Athelstan Bisset, Q.C. Like all of the 27 neighbourhoods of Mill Woods, Bisset's design objective is to provide for an efficient flow of traffic while minimizing its disruptive and hazardous effects. A number of strategically place pathways promote pedestrian and bicycle travel within the neighbourhood. Perhaps because of the large number of apartment dwellings, the demographic profile of Bisset is different form that of a typical Mill Woods neighbourhood: Bisset hosts a comparatively high proportion of single-adult households.
