Presentation Title: SE Calgary Mobility Network Study
The City of Calgary has initiated a pilot mobility network study for the SE quadrant of the City which is experiencing significant industrial and residential growth. The study will holistically assess the mobility network (Active modes, Transit, Goods Movement, High Occupancy Vehicles, and Single Occupancy Vehicles) in the S.E. quadrant of the city against projected growth to aid The City in aligning mobility infrastructure upgrades with growth potential. The study will determine mobility mode priority for corridors, identify deficiencies and evaluate and prioritize improvements and investment to enhance the overall network and support local and regional growth.
Irini has over 19 years of experience in the public and private sectors leading and managing large and complex transportation planning studies, including corridor studies, functional planning studies, and transportation network reviews; implementing Complete Streets in retrofit and greenfield areas, organizing and facilitating collaborative community and public engagement events, dealing with various consultants and stakeholders, and working closely with Council and City officials. She has an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering (Major) and Business (Minor), as well as a Master of Engineering in Transportation completed at the University of Manitoba and is the current ITE Canada Vice President.
Outside of work, Irini is an avid traveler and spends most of her free time (and money) on flights. She has been to 5 continents, 40 countries and over 200 cities.
