City of Ottawa 2025 Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) Guidelines Update – Presenters: Juan Lavin, P.Eng, Alex Buck, C.E.T.
Juan Lavin has been a transportation engineer within the Traffic and Transportation Planning Group at Parsons’ Ottawa Office for around 8 years. Juan is passionate about active transportation and strives to guide design towards vision zero, following the guidance from the Protected Intersection Design Guide (PIDG), Multi-Modal Level of Service (MMLOS) and other leading industry standards. Juan helped develop the New 2025 MMLOS Guidelines for Ottawa using his professional work experience, engineering best practices and knowledge of the previous guidelines, plus lived-experience as someone who bikes to work, occasionally takes transit and enjoys daily walks with his family and dog. Juan has a diverse portfolio, working on active transportation projects, transit feasibility studies, road construction management/detours, transportation master plans, transportation impact studies and more.
Alex Buck is a transportation technologist with over 10 years of experience in the transportation planning and engineering field. He specializes in a detailed traffic modelling environment and is typically responsible for handling complex problems and providing unique solutions. Alex has in-depth knowledge of industry-standard best practices in transportation planning and a substantial background of successfully completed projects. He supported the development of the New 2025 MMLOS Guidelines for the City of Ottawa through his involvement in updating the supporting Excel analysis tool.
Campus Avenue Dutch-Style Roundabout – Presenter: Will Rose, P.Eng
Will Rose is a Civil Engineer with 13 years’ experience in the construction and civil engineering industry. He is an established senior design engineer, having started in Contract Administration as a site inspector where he quickly learned construction practices, techniques, and the importance of ‘constructability’ for any design. As he progressed in his career from site inspector to contract administrator, he further developed his skills and knowledge with respect to contract tenders, specifications, quantity calculations, and communicating with multiple stakeholders. Using knowledge he gained from the Contract Administration side of the industry, Will has developed into a well-rounded Transportation Engineer who can complete functional, preliminary and detailed designs and put together contract drawings, quantities, and specifications to ensure the Client’s project is designed with the highest level of quality. Will has designed and constructed complete street projects and MTO highway projects ranging from protected intersections, roadway widening, and roundabouts.
This presentation will discuss the design and implementation of Dutch-inspired features to accommodate cycling facilities and prioritize pedestrians at roundabouts. The showcase will be the Campus Avenue Roundabout at Campus Avenue and University Drive located on the Campus of Carleton University. This roundabout is the first in Ottawa to implement dedicated cycling facilities, inspired by Dutch practices.
