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.

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.

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: December 2024 Luncheon & AGM
DESCRIPTION:The Dutch Way – Innovation In Active Transportation\nSponsored by ISL Engineering\n\nProtected bike lanes are popping up everywhere. They started appearing in Canada in around 2010\, and cities across the country have since been incorporating them into their streets to enhance active transportation infrastructure ever since. We’re making tremendous progress in active transportation design across Canada\, but to achieve community goals to increasing walking and cycling\, we need not only more infrastructure\, but better infrastructure to address issues that still persist. We don’t need to start from scratch. The Dutch have been designing and refining their active transportation infrastructure for over 50 years\, and there’s so many valuable lessons we can all still learn from. ISL’s Sustainable Transportation Specialist\, Roy Symons has dedicated much time in recent years to experiencing and documenting all aspects of their infrastructure with the intent of bringing those lessons back to Canada. ISL will begin the presentation by outlining some of their recent active transportation project highlights and follow up with a series of innovations not yet widely adopted in Canada\, that might help us take that next step towards supporting our bigger picture goals. \n \nAbout the Presenters:\n \n \nRoy Symons \nRoy Symons is ISL’s Sustainable Transportation Specialist working across Western Canada. His passion for Dutch design led to the adoption of continuous sidewalks as a standard in Canada for the first time with the City of Nanaimo\, something that sparked a movement across the country\, and since then\, recognizing that it takes more than a protected bike lane or intersection to fully support active modes\, he has continued to pursue other Dutch techniques on his projects in Canada\, as well as changes to Canadian guidance. He has authored three books on bicycle facility planning and design and blogs about street design at rollinginthecity.ca\, where he shares street design examples and best practices. \n \n \n \nDan Zeggelaar \nDan Zeggelaar is ISL’s Sustainable Transportation Lead working in Edmonton and across Alberta. Dan was the lead engineer for the Rossdale Transportation Network providing cycling routes from Walterdale Bridge into Downtown Edmonton. He is also leading the planning for 7 km of new bike routes in Edmonton and just authored Airdrie’s first Active Transportation Plan. Through his role as Sustainable Transportation Lead\, Dan continues to support clients in road safety\, master planning and traffic operations. Dan is a certified Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (PTOE)\, Professional Transportation Planner (PTP)\, and Road Safety Professional (RSP1). Dan is also a regular cyclist with family and for sport and recently became the back-to-back (2023 and 2024) Cycling Canada E-sports National Champion. \n \n \nLunch will be served at 11:45 am and the presentations will start at 12:00 pm. The first 10 minutes of the program will be dedicated to the AGM. \nRegular pricing is active until December 3rd. Late registration charges will apply at 11:00 AM on December 3rd.\n\nParking Changes Starting Fall 2024!!!\nGuest Parking at the University Club has changed starting August 2024.

Details will be shared with attendees after the event. \nWe are excited to invite you to the ITE Toronto Summer Luncheon happening on Thursday\, June 27\, 2024! This event will be a wonderful opportunity to network\, enjoy a buffet-styled lunch\, and gain insights from two distinguished speakers in the fields of transportation and urban planning. \nEvent Details: \nDate: Thursday\, June 27\, 2024\nTime: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: University of Toronto’s Hart House – Music Room (Room 2006) \nSpeakers and Presentations: \nNaama Blonder\, B.Arch\, OAA\, RPP – “Pro-Housing\, Pro-Transit\, Pro-People” \nNaama Blonder\, an architect and urban planner renowned as this year’s RBC Women of Influence\, will deliver an inspiring presentation focusing on innovative architectural and urban design strategies aimed at fostering affordability\, reducing car dependency\, and achieving net-zero outcomes for sustainability. Highlighting the urgent need to prioritize people over cars\, and alongside her personal story as a first-generation Canadian\, Naama will cover the implications for urban planners\, architects\, industry professionals\, and the general public. Her firm\, Smart Density\, has received numerous accolades\, including the prestigious Best Emerging Practice Award from the Ontario Association of Architects and three consecutive SHIFT awards\, solidifying their innovative approach.

Casello\, Ph.D. – “The Future of Cities: Expanding the Roles of Transportation Planners and Engineers to Effect Real Change” \nProfessor Casello’s interests lie in urban transportation systems and their impacts on healthy and economically viable urban areas. For decades\, transportation professionals have recognized the challenges associated with North American transportation and land use systems. Our passenger transportation networks continue to be auto-dominated\, creating environmental externalities\, inequities in terms of accessibility\, and lower quality of life for citizens. His presentation will focus on what more needs to be done to change this. Jeff teaches and conducts research on the planning\, design and operation of systems that promote efficient\, balanced transportation\, enhances regional economic competitiveness and supports social mobility. His research highlights include contributions to improved behavioural models for transit systems and the assessment of empirical evidence in the planning and design of active transportation modes. In 2014\, Jeff spoke to members of Canadian Parliament on the future of public transportation. He has also had the opportunity to consult in Philadelphia\, Toronto\, Washington DC and Singapore.
