DESCRIPTION:Registration closes on Wednesday\, September 24. 1.5 Professional Development Hours/Credits (PDH) will be available for this webinar. \nIn 2024\, TransLink\, in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTT)\, developed the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure (download here\, PDF 14.8 MB) to provide province-wide design guidance for “island platform bus stops” or “floating bus stops” in British Columbia. The award-winning Design Guide provides a comprehensive set of planning and engineering guidelines offering solutions for the planning\, design\, operation\, and maintenance of bus stops adjacent to protected cycling infrastructure in a range of contexts and applications throughout British Columbia\, along with guidance for education and engagement. However\, the Design Guide was not able to address all of the issues identified by people with disabilities\, notably\, the ability to detect a person cycling approach and the ability to have confidence that a person cycling has stopped. \nSince the Design Guide was published in 2024\, the design of island platform bus stops has continued to evolve across Canada and internationally as practitioners advance their understanding of accessibility needs within a North American context\, with treatments such as on-board announcements\, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)\, bicycle signals\, tactile wayfinding\, and other technologies being explored in various jurisdictions. This virtual session will provide an update on emerging trends and technologies for island platform bus stops along with lessons learned from Canada\, the United States\, and internationally. \nThe webinar will be led by Brian Patterson (Urban Systems) and Dylan Passmore (Street Matters) along with staff from the City of Montreal\, City of New Westminster\, District of Saanich\, and TransLink. Due to popular demand after the initial joint ITE Canada/CARSP webinar on this topic in 2024\, this follow-up webinar is an opportunity to hear from more speakers and delve into newer developments on the topic. \nRegistration for this webinar is FREE for current ITE and CARSP members. Non-members are welcome to purchase a ticket. \n\nPresenters\nBrian Patterson\, RPP\, MCIP\, PMP\, RSP1\, Senior Planner\, Urban Systems \nBrian is a senior transportation planner and brings over 20 years of experience in active transportation planning and design\, multi-modal transportation planning\, and safety and accessibility.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta: Workshop on Island Platform Bus Stops
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 24\, 2025 for this in-person\, interactive workshop! This is an in-person event in Calgary. \nLocation: Urban Systems Ltd.\, 134 11 Ave SE #101\, Calgary\, AB T2G 0X5 \nDESCRIPTION\nOver the past several years\, communities across North America have implemented island platform bus stops (also known as floating bus stops) to accommodate people using transit and people of all ages and abilities who are cycling. \nIsland platform bus stops provide protected cycling infrastructure that routes cyclists between a bus stop and a sidewalk. Island platform bus stops reduce conflicts between cyclists and motorists; however\, they can also introduce new challenges for pedestrians\, particularly those with disabilities. \nIn 2024\, TransLink and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure released the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure. While the Design Guide provides detailed technical guidance on how to improve the experience of all users at island platform bus stops\, there remain challenges to be addressed in continuing to improve accessibility and remove barriers to people with disabilities at island platform bus Island. \nJoin us for this interactive workshop to learn more about island platform bus stops\, including how to assess when they are the right design approach\, what are main issues and barriers that people with disabilities have experience with them\, and how to design them to help address the barriers faced by people with disabilities. \nThe workshop will include a summary of the Design Guide and the experiences from communities across North America\, along with a design exercise to apply learnings to real-world contexts. \nABOUT OUR PRESENTERS\nBrian Patterson\nBrian is a senior transportation and brings over 20 years of experience in active transportation planning and design\, multi-modal transportation planning\, and safety and accessibility. Brian has developed over hundreds of plans\, designs\, and studies for communities of all sizes across Canada and has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Brian led the development of the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure and has led numerous other design guides\, including the BC Active Transportation Design Guide. \n \n \nDylan Passmore\nDylan is a Principal Engineer with experience in both the private and public sectors leading transportation projects across North America and internationally. Dylan specializes in the engagement\, design\, and implementation of complex and sensitive multimodal corridor projects\, particularly related to inclusive pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure design. Leveraging his hands-on corridor design work\, Dylan has also led numerous research and engagement initiatives that advance innovative design practices\, such as floating bus stop design. Dylan’s experience as Engineer of Record for several programs and signature corridor projects at the City of Vancouver means he is intimately familiar with navigating diverse needs and the complex trade-offs inherent in the public sector. Dylan regularly leads design training workshops\, guest lectures\, and presents his work at leading transportation conferences. \n \nCristina Lucca\, EIT\, EAP Consulting Ltd. \nCristina Lucca\, EIT\, currently works as a Transportation Engineer-in-Training with EAP Consulting Ltd. Her experience as an EIT led her to recognize the importance of human-centred design in transportation projects\, particularly in making infrastructure more accessible. Cristina had the opportunity to contribute to the development of the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure\, which involved extensive engagement with people who are blind and others with diverse accessibility needs. Prior to joining EAP\, she worked in the non-profit sector in the area of education and leadership\, which she continues to support as a volunteer. \n

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.

SUMMARY:ITE Canada & CARSP Joint Webinar: Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This webinar is now at capacity. \nTransLink\, in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI)\, recently retained Urban Systems to create the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure (download here\, PDF 14.8 MB) to provide province-wide guidance to develop “island platform bus stops” or “floating bus stops” in British Columbia. The Design Guide provides a comprehensive set of planning and engineering guidelines offering solutions for the planning\, design\, operation\, and maintenance of bus stops adjacent to protected cycling infrastructure in a range of contexts and applications throughout British Columbia\, along with guidance for education and engagement. This Design Guide is the first of its kind in North America and addresses a significant gap in knowledge on how to design bus stops to meet the needs of people with disabilities while also being comfortable for cyclists of all ages and abilities. The Design Guide was developed with extensive stakeholder engagement\, including pilot projects in five municipalities in British Columbia. The Design Guide was awarded both the ITE Canada Stan Teply Outstanding Technical Project Award and the ITE International Transportation Achievement Award – Planning Award in 2024. \nThis virtual session will provide an overview of the Design Guide as well as lessons learned from municipal staff from two case study communities. \nRegistration for this webinar is FREE for current ITE and CARSP members. Non-members are welcome to purchase a ticket. \nPresenters\nBrian Patterson\, RPP\, MCIP\, PMP\, RSP1 \nSenior Planner\, Urban Systems \n \nBrian is a senior transportation and brings over 20 years of experience in active transportation planning and design\, multi-modal transportation planning\, and safety and accessibility. Brian has developed over hundreds of plans\, designs\, and studies for communities of all sizes across Canada and has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Brian led the development of the Design Guide for Bus Stops Adajcent to Cycling Infrastructure and has led numerous other design guides\, including the BC Active Transportation Design Guide. \n \nSuzanne Therrien\, MPH \nActive Transportation Planner\, City of Kelowna \n\nSuzanne is an Active Transportation Planner at the City of Kelowna. Her work focuses on programs\, resources and partnerships to promote more trips by active modes.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta: Transportation Management of Emergencies in Northern Alberta (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Transportation Management of Emergencies in Northern Alberta \nThe Peace Region has experienced either wildfires or floods every year since 2014. Each year\, it is a matter of when the emergency will strike\, not if. Part of Mae’s work as the Operations Manager includes managing highway closures and evacuation routes during such emergencies. In this presentation\, Mae is going to highlight the importance of networking and planning in advance of a disaster\, as well as regular training and communication. \nProper traffic accommodation is essential to protect both local communities and other road users. Mae will review what was done here in Alberta to aid the thousands of evacuees from the Northwest Territories and how sometimes a small gesture can make a huge difference! \nPresenter: Mae Stewart\, P.Eng \nMae has spent her entire career as a civil engineer in the public service\, working for municipal\, federal and now provincial governments. She has spent the last 16 years working for Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC) in Peace River. As the Operations Manager\, Mae oversees the delivery of departmental programs on Alberta’s highway network\, First Nation and Metis Settlement road infrastructure\, park and urban access roads\, and ferries and ice bridges. She is responsible for the delivery of multi-million dollar highway maintenance contracts and provides leadership to a team of engineers and technologists. Mae has been involved in several innovative projects such as the design and construction of a carcass compost\, the construction and maintenance of an bridge across an 800m wide river\, and the creation of a five year strategic people plan to build an engaged and resilient workplace culture. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OGY1Mzg2ZTUtMGMzMS00MjJiLWIyYTUtMDU4YjkxMGYzYmZm%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22875688ea-8b21-4b98-b25b-4b81851ad72d%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%224a3ba1e2-3eaf-46fd-a2aa-5dc1b59160ca%22%7d\n
