SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: May 2025 Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:45-Minute Queues? Assessing Travel Benefits and Drawbacks of a New Business Access in Brooks\, Alberta\nA major employer in Newell County\, located outside of Brooks\, Alberta\, generates a daily shift changeover of over 700 employees\, which results in vehicle queues lasting up to 45 minutes as they attempt to exit the facility parking lots. To alleviate this congestion\, an alternative access route has been proposed. \nUsing PTV Vissim\, a detailed traffic simulation was conducted to evaluate the impact of this new route on travel patterns and congestion. The simulation incorporated dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) to model how drivers might alter their route choices in response to different road layouts. This approach allowed for a comprehensive analysis of potential benefits\, such as improved traffic flow\, as well as drawbacks\, such as queue spillback on other parts of the road network. \nJoin us at the luncheon to delve into the findings of this study\, explore the intricacies of using traffic simulations\, and discuss how alternative analysis methods can be used to answer specific and unique traffic questions. \nAbout the Presenter:\nDavid Mason\, P.Eng.\, M.Eng. \n \n \nDavid Mason is a Transportation Engineer with ISL Engineering and Land Development for 2 years. Originally from Ottawa\, Ontario\, David has worked across different engineering disciplines and has recently completed his master’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Alberta. At ISL\, David tackles unique traffic and transportation-related projects\, within the topics of traffic operational analysis\, traffic safety\, transportation master planning and multi-modal infrastructure. \n \n\nLunch will be served at 11:45 am and the presentations will start at 12:00 pm. \nRegular pricing is active until Monday May 5th. Late registration charges will apply beginning at 11:00 AM May 5.\nPlease note that photos/videos may be taken during the event and may be used internally or for promotional purposes by the ITE Northern Alberta Section. If you do not wish to be photographed\, please contact northernalberta@itecanada.org. \n\nParking Changes Starting Fall 2024!!!\nGuest Parking at the University Club has changed starting August 2024. The University Club lot will only be accessible for assigned permit holders and club members. If you are not personally a member of The University Club or do not have a UofA parking permit\, you are directed to use the Windsor Car Park.

SUMMARY:ITE SA - May Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Lessons from the Dutch by Roy Symons and Andrew Monson \nThis presentation will explore innovative Dutch street design principles that are either emerging in Canada or have potential. Drawing from the success of continuous sidewalks and protected bike paths implemented in Nanaimo—an initiative led by Roy Symons—this session will delve into what’s next. \nIntrigued by what more could be learned from the Netherlands\, Roy has undertaken several extended research trips to the country\, cycling extensively to understand firsthand what makes it the global leader in cycling infrastructure and mode share. His observations and insights from the first of those trips are captured in his book Fietspad\, and he will share many of the lessons learned during this session. \nWhile Nanaimo helped advance continuous sidewalks in British Columbia\, it was not the first in Canada to implement them. That distinction may belong to the Town of Canmore\, where Dutch-inspired street design has been quietly but meaningfully taking hold. Andrew Monson will present to highlight the ongoing transformation in Canmore\, showcasing recent projects that reflect a growing embrace of Dutch design thinking. \nRoy Symons P.Eng. is a Sustainable Transportation Specialist for ISL based in Burnaby\, BC but supporting ISL projects across Western Canada. He is passionate about Dutch design and its potential in Canada and is actively pursuing many such innovations on his projects today as well as trying to spread this knowledge in the industry through his Lessons from the Dutch. \nAndrew Monson\, P.Eng. is a transportation engineer with over a decade of experience designing safe\, efficient\, and comfortable streets and active transportation facilities. Since his move from Calgary to Canmore five years ago\, he’s acquired several bikes and a deeper appreciation for the perks of mountain town living. His favorite projects are the ones that see goat trail desire lines replaced with comfortable facilities and have a meaningful impact on his community.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_M2QzYjNhMWMtZDRlYi00OGQ0LTg1OTgtM2IyN2Q5NWMxNWQ3%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%223d234255-e20f-4205-88a5-9658a402999b%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%226c977523-8144-40d5-abd2-759b161cc3bc%22%7d\n
