This project received the 2022 ITE International Transportation Achievement Award in Complete Streets. \nThe Montgomery Main Streets – Bowness Road project improves the road\, community\, and public spaces for everyone who lives\, commutes through\, and visits Montgomery. The design right-sized driving lanes and created safer and more inviting spaces for people walking and bicycling with widened sidewalks\, street trees\, street furnishing\, plaza area and a raised cycle track to turn Montgomery into a destination. The Montgomery Main Streets – Bowness Road project is one of the first of 24 Main Street projects that moved to construction. The city’s Main Streets program implements a comprehensive process to transform main streets into places where people want to live work and play\, recognizing the need for both public and private investment to make the area more attractive to businesses and residents. Creating a high-quality streetscape in an established area requires that the design and construction are both innovative and collaborative. For Montgomery Main Streets\, that included piloting new materials for accessibility\, stormwater\, and landscape designs. \nBowness Road runs through the heart of the community and is fronted by a mix of residential\, small business and mixed-use buildings. It connects to recreations centers\, schools\, and large regional parks along the Bow River. During construction the project team knew maintaining traffic and pedestrian flow and maintaining access to private properties was of utmost importance. Relationships with the Montgomery Community Association and Montgomery Business Improvement Area during public engagement and construction created an environment of trust for the intent\, design\, and implementation of the city’s newest main street \nErvina and Marcia will highlight key design features of the project as part of the walking tour\, and share lessons learned and best practices that transportation practitioners in Southern Alberta can adopt in their project activities. We will conclude the tour at Rising Tides Tap Room with a celebratory toast to the award winning Montgomery Main Streets Project and Team. \nErvina Hendra\, P.Eng.\, PMP\, LEED AP®\, Senior Transportation Engineer\, Urban and Community Systems\, The City of Calgary – Public Spaces Delivery \nErvina is a Senior Project Manager with over 17 years of experience in a wide variety of infrastructure projects from vertical builds to transportation corridors. Her career includes both public and private sector. Ervina is inspired by how her engineering work touches the communities she lives in and visits. \n  \nMarcia Eng\, P.Eng.\, Senior Transportation Engineer\, Urban Systems Ltd. \nMarcia is a Senior Transportation Engineer with a diverse range of transportation planning and operations\, urban design and construction\, and project management experience spanning over 22 years. She always aspires to improve mobility for all people through planning and designing better integrated systems and accessible infrastructure that provides a sense of safety and comfort. \n  \nThe cost of the tour is a sliding scale. All funds raised will be donated to Youth En Route; A local charity whose mission is to inspire and support active transportation to school and beyond.

How we allocate and design that space fundamentally influences the way a community looks\, feels and operates. No other aspect of engineering has such a critical role in shaping not just operational aspects of how people move\, but also the social\, economic and environmental outcomes for communities. While the practice of transportation engineering is evolving\, even today the tools and techniques used often result in poor outcomes for communities. While solving short-term vehicle transportation problems\, traditional methods can leave communities with long term congestion\, and safety and accessibility issues.  Canmore is unique only in it’s constraints\, and these constraints have forced the community to adopt integrated approaches sooner and more aggressively than most. \nThis tour will lead participants through a range of designs and show where a different set of priorities have been applied. Narrow traffic lanes\, windy roads\, wide paths\, separated bicycle facilities\, raised mid-block crossings\, continuous crossings\, and near-side traffic signals will be highlighted as emerging best-practice.  Benefits of the trade-offs between convenience while driving and place-making will be on display throughout\, including in areas where lanes have been narrowed\, turn bays have been removed\, and four-lane cross-sections have been converted to three-lane roads.  We will travel by bicycle on some of Canmore’s best and worst infrastructure to experience first-hand being placed in a variety of situations by designers.  It is hoped that through this short glimpse into different infrastructure types\, you’ll leave with a strong impression of the impacts that transportation designs can have on the way people travel\, and more importantly\, how community is created by roadway designs. All cycling abilities are welcome! \nTour Lead\n \nAndy Esarte is a civil engineer and graduate of the University of Western Ontario\, and has managed the engineering department for the Town of Canmore for the past 12 years. During that time he has overseen the development of Canmore’s first Integrated Transportation Plan in 2013 and subsequent update in 2018\, as well as Canmore’s first Integrated Parking Management Plan in 2018.  Prior to joining the Canmore team\, Andy worked as a project manager for light rail transit projects for the City of Calgary and designed bridges and heavy civil structures in consulting. \nResidents of Canmore since 2013\, Andy and his wife Karen have two young children aged 9 and 11. As a goal\, Andy aspires to creating a transportation network for Canmore that allows for safe and accessible travel by all residents and visitors to Canmore\, regardless of age or ability\, and with equity between travel modes.
