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:[TRAINING • In-Person] Transportation & Affordability: Planning Complete Networks to Reduce Auto-Dependence
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person training session to be held in Halifax\, Nova Scotia on Wednesday\, June 4th immediately following the ITE Canada Annual Conference. For more information about the conference and hotel bookings\, visit the conference website. \nThis session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. Registrations will be accepted until the workshop begins on June 4\, 2025. \n\nWorkshop Location:\nHalifax Convention Centre\n1650 Argyle St\, Halifax\, NS B3J 0E6\nConvention Level 1\, Room 102\n \n\n\nWorkshop Time:\n\n\n1:45-5:45 pm\n\nWorkshop Description\nA community’s design plays a crucial role in shaping residents’ living costs\, particularly transportation expenses. One effective way to ease this financial burden is by creating “car-lite” communities where life without car ownership is convenient\, pleasant\, and sustainable. However\, designing or retrofitting such communities requires a collaborative\, thoughtful approach from land use planners\, transportation planners\, and engineers. The good news? Successful examples from around the world provide clear principles to guide the way. \nThe Half-Day Course is Divided into Four Modules: \n\nWhat Makes a Community Car-Lite and Why Does it Matter? The training will start by thoughtfully defining what it means for a community to be “car-lite”; that is\, for a resident of an area to have sufficient access to other modes of travel\, and car ownership is not required for convenient travel. We will link transportation affordability with overall affordability and discuss the opportunities for transport planners to make life more affordable for Canadians.\nExamining Car-Lite Communities in Canada and Elsewhere. We will discuss policy trends across Canada and review several master-planned communities. We’ll discuss the ambitions for each\, review the quality of the built infrastructure and mobility services provided\, and draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of each development. Exercise #1: Participants will then be asked to complete their own network audit of an existing mixed-use community.\nDesigning Complete Networks. This part of the training explores how to design mobility networks for new or intensifying communities. We will discuss different types of urban traffic environments that prioritize different modes of traffic and how to lay these out at the network level using Safe Systems principles. Exercise #2: Participants will gain hands-on experience and design a transportation network for themselves in the breakout exercise.\nUnderstanding the Barriers to Implementation. The final block will discuss practical implications and challenges that an engineer or planner may encounter in trying to implement some of the concepts presented in the course. We will explore the shortcomings of the traditional process of laying out a street network solely based on auto-oriented functions (arterial\, collector\, local) as well as the alternatives (prioritizing corridors based on mode)\, and discuss how land use designations fit in.\n\nOverall\, the course will leave participants with a stronger understanding of the building blocks for car-lite communities and actionable takeaways for their work in producing transportation master plans\, secondary plans\, plans of subdivision\, and transportation impact assessments. \nLearning Outcomes\nAs a result of attending the training\, practitioners will be able to: \n\nDescribe the role of transportation practitioners in addressing Canada’s housing crisis\nExplain the concepts of being car-dependent\, car-free\, and car-less and its impacts on access to opportunity and mobility poverty\nUnderstand examples of various communities and neighbourhoods across Canada that have been designed to support car-lite living\nEvaluate a proposed or existing community layout for its likelihood of supporting multimodal travel by looking at its street design\, land uses\, and network structure\nDesign a multimodal street network for a new or retrofitted urban neighbourhood\n\nTarget Audience\nTransportation Planners\, Land Use Planners and Transportation Engineers who are interested designing more sustainable\, affordable and inclusive communities. \nTrainer bios\nMatt Pinder\, P.Eng.\, M.Eng.

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 Manitoba June Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:ITE Manitoba will be hosting a Luncheon on June 27 at The Forks. \nEvent Details\nDate: Friday\, June 27\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 noon to 1:30 pm\nLocation: **NEW(ish)** The Event Space @ The Forks\, 1 Forks Market Road (2nd Floor Main Terminal)\nCost: $25 for non-ITE members\, $20 for ITE members\, and $15 for students \n**Registration will close on Wednesday June 25\, at 12 noon.** \nFood: Catering will be provided by NuBurger. Please let us know your burger choice and dietary restrictions when purchasing your ticket. More info is available by clicking the menu link. \nPlease note\, to register for the reduced ITE member rate\, your ITE membership should be valid for 2025. \nPresentation Information\nTitle: Daly Overpass Project \nThe Daly Overpass Project is an award-winning $65 million-dollar major multidisciplinary initiative in bridge and roadway construction on Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 10 in Brandon\, Manitoba. This landmark project\, embodying a blend of ambitious engineering and urban planning\, is set to transform the region’s transportation infrastructure.” (Dillon Engineering) The presentation will retell the story of how the public and stakeholder engagement was successfully integrated with the design engineering process using two key tools: the Stakeholder Tier System and Discussion-based Option Evaluation (DBOE). When engineering teams view project design\, stakeholder engagement\, and option evaluation as important but separate project components\, they are at risk of running in to any number of obstacles that can result in project delay\, project cost overrun\, or worse\, project cancellation. An integrated view helps mitigate these risks. \nSpeakers: Donovan Toews\, RPP\, MCIP \nDonovan Toews\, MCP\, MCIP\, is the Managing Partner at Landmark Planning & Design based in Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, Canada. Donovan has served both public and private sector clients in strategic planning\, land use planning\, land development\, and public engagement sectors\, Donovan has spent his career leading and collaborating with engineers of all types and his public sector peers to facilitate and produce solutions that are stronger because of a multi-disciplinary\, strategic lens. Donovan is the former Vice President of the Canadian Institute of Planners and Past President of the Manitoba Professional Planners Institute.

SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Transportation & Affordability: Planning Complete Networks to Reduce Auto-Dependence - September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, September 18\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 – 4:00 pm ET / 9:00 am – 1:00 pm PT \nLocation: Virtual. The virtual meeting details will be emailed to registered attendees the day before or on the morning of the training. \nRegistration deadline: September 17\, 2025 at 12 noon ET \nThis session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \nWorkshop Description\nA community’s design plays a crucial role in shaping residents’ living costs\, particularly transportation expenses. One effective way to ease this financial burden is by creating “car-lite” communities where life without car ownership is convenient\, pleasant\, and sustainable. \nHowever\, designing or retrofitting such communities requires a collaborative\, thoughtful approach from land use planners\, transportation planners\, and engineers. The good news? Successful examples from around the world provide clear principles to guide the way. \nThe Half-Day Course is Divided into Four Modules: \n\nWhat Makes a Community Car-Lite and Why Does it Matter? The training will start by thoughtfully defining what it means for a community to be “car-lite”; that is\, for a resident of an area to have sufficient access to other modes of travel\, and car ownership is not required for convenient travel. We will link transportation affordability with overall affordability and discuss the opportunities for transport planners to make life more affordable for Canadians.\nExamining Car-Lite Communities in Canada and Elsewhere. We will discuss policy trends across Canada and review several master-planned communities. We’ll discuss the ambitions for each\, review the quality of the built infrastructure and mobility services provided\, and draw conclusions on the strengths and weaknesses of each development. Exercise #1: Participants will then be asked to complete their own network audit of an existing mixed-use community.\nDesigning Complete Networks. This part of the training explores how to design mobility networks for new or intensifying communities. We will discuss different types of urban traffic environments that prioritize different modes of traffic and how to lay these out at the network level using Safe Systems principles. Exercise #2: Participants will gain hands-on experience and design a transportation network for themselves in the breakout exercise.\nUnderstanding the Barriers to Implementation. The final block will discuss practical implications and challenges that an engineer or planner may encounter in trying to implement some of the concepts presented in the course. We will explore the shortcomings of the traditional process of laying out a street network solely based on auto-oriented functions (arterial\, collector\, local) as well as the alternatives (prioritizing corridors based on mode)\, and discuss how land use designations fit in.\n\nOverall\, the course will leave participants with a stronger understanding of the building blocks for car-lite communities and actionable takeaways for their work in producing transportation master plans\, secondary plans\, plans of subdivision\, and transportation impact assessments. \nLearning Outcomes\nAs a result of attending the training\, practitioners will be able to: \n\nDescribe the role of transportation practitioners in addressing Canada’s housing crisis\nExplain the concepts of being car-dependent\, car-free\, and car-less and its impacts on access to opportunity and mobility poverty\nUnderstand examples of various communities and neighbourhoods across Canada that have been designed to support car-lite living\nEvaluate a proposed or existing community layout for its likelihood of supporting multimodal travel by looking at its street design\, land uses\, and network structure\nDesign a multimodal street network for a new or retrofitted urban neighbourhood\n\nTarget Audience\nTransportation Planners\, Land Use Planners and Transportation Engineers who are interested designing more sustainable\, affordable and inclusive communities. \nTrainer bios\nMatt Pinder\, P.Eng.\, M.Eng.Lead Trainer \nMatt has a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in civil engineering and nine years of experience in transportation planning and engineering. Matt is an emerging expert in the planning and design of streets\, intersections\, and communities that address the needs of all road users. He has advised on and completed concept and detailed designs for dozens of complete streets and bikeway projects across Canada including the City of Toronto’s ITE-award-winning York University Cycling Connections project. He has contributed to award-winning design guidance documents including the Ottawa Protected Intersection Design Guide and the Ontario Protected Intersection Guide.His experience also includes leading trainings\, including for the Ontario Protected Intersection Guide\, as well as the updated OTM Book 18: Cycling Facilities which he has delivered to over 600 professionals. He was also a trainer for the April 2024 ITE Canada training session on multimodal traffic signal operations \n \nNarayan Donaldson\, M.Sc.Assistant Trainer \nNarayan has a bachelor’s degree in urban planning and a master’s degree in civil engineering\, and seven years of planning and engineering experience in Canada and the Netherlands. He was the lead trainer for the 2023/24 ITE Canada training session on multimodal traffic signal operations and has co-led in-person workshops such as a network planning exercise at the 2024 Winter Cycling Congress in Edmonton. He has been applying Complete Networks principles in roles such as the Mobycon project leader for the Renfrew County transportation master plan\, and a planner implementing the Town of Canmore’s town centre streetscape plan based on the Complete Networks principles of the Integrated Master Plan \n \nArianne Robillard\, M.Sc.Assistant Trainer \nArianne has a Master of Science in Civil Engineering specializing in Transportation Planning. Her experience includes transportation and mobility research\, active transportation\, transit-oriented development\, and accessibility. Her academic publications include cycling access to transit-oriented development nodes and measurement of access to parks and green spaces\, and has presented at conferences in Brussels\, Portland\, Quebec City\, and Montreal.

SUMMARY:[ITE Canada & CARSP Joint Webinar] Island Platform Bus Stops - Emerging Trends\, Technologies & Lessons Learned
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.
