ITE Greater Vancouver: November Virtual Seminar – Central Valley Greenway Safety Review

November 22, 2023@12:00 pm to 1:00 pm PST

Free

ITE Greater Vancouver is pleased to have Po Sun, M.Sc., AICP, from the City of Burnaby present on the Central Valley Greenway Safey Review at 12:00pm, November 22, 2023. The virtual seminar will be free and online.

The Central Valley Greenway is a 25-kilometre regionally significant active transportation corridor in Metro Vancouver. One of the most challenging locations along the Central Valley Greenway is an 850-metre section of Still Creek Avenue through an industrial area in the City of Burnaby. The City retained TranSafe Consulting Ltd. in conjunction with Urban Systems Ltd. to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the safety performance of this roadway for cyclists and pedestrians, and to develop options and recommendations for improving the cycling and walking experience. Recognizing the safety issues identified, the City subsequently adopted an innovative rapid implementation approach to install interim safety improvements using low-cost, adjustable materials in December, 2021. The interim design was developed through engagement with businesses along the corridor to allow the project team to incorporate their operational requirements.

Po is a transportation planner with over 10 years of public and private sector experience that has spanned transportation plans at the city, neighborhood and corridor levels, including the design and implementation of multimodal mobility and complete street safety improvements. He is currently working as the Transportation Planner at the City of Burnaby and is passionate about making the places where we live, work, and play more accessible, safe, and enjoyable through enhancing the public realm and improving multimodal connections.
