SUMMARY:[TRAINING] Geometric Design: Fundamentals and Emerging Practices in Urban Street Design - Feb 2026
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, February 25\, 2026 \nTime: 12:00 – 4:00 pm ET / 9:00 am – 1:00 pm PT \nLocation: Virtual. \nThis session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees.\n \nUrban streets are more than conduits for traffic—they are complex environments that support movement and serve as vibrant places for community connection and economic activity. Designing these streets requires balancing safety\, mobility\, and livability while accommodating diverse users such as pedestrians\, cyclists\, transit riders\, and goods movement. \nIn the past decade\, there has been considerable evolution in design practices for Canadian urban streets by shifting away from minimum design standards towards a more nuanced\, context-specific “design domain” approach. This evolution requires practitioners to apply greater engineering judgment and consider a broader range of factors and user perspectives. \nThis training equips participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate this evolving landscape with live facilitators that offer a variety of experience in planning and designing for complex urban environments\, including complete streets and protected intersections. A mix of presentations\, case studies\, interactive exercises\, and question and answer periods will be incorporated to allow attendees to apply fundamental design principles for urban streets\, navigate design trade-offs\, and incorporate emerging solutions. \nThis training will be organized as follows: \n\nIntroduction to Urban Street Design: The session will begin by examining the functions of urban streets for varying users and their role in supporting access\, mobility\, and placemaking. We will introduce the design domain approach\, contrasting it with traditional minimum standards and emphasizing the role of engineering judgment. We will then shift to concepts related to design controls and emerging solutions for speed management\, including self-enforcing streets\, highlighting how geometric design influences user behaviour and safety through Exercise #1.\nUrban Street Cross-sections: Next\, we will examine key urban street elements and how to select appropriate widths within the design domain and make trade-offs for varying contexts and user needs. Participants will then apply these concepts in Exercise #2 using real-world case studies and interactive tools that will challenge them to redesign urban streets to meet specified priorities within constrained rights-of-way and understand the equity implications of design decisions. \nHorizontal and Vertical Alignment for Urban Streets: This part of the training will explore fundamental concepts on horizontal and vertical alignments of urban streets and strategies to incorporate considerations for drainage\, safety\, and sight distances. Real-world case studies will be used to illustrate the connections between design controls and speed management to horizontal and vertical alignment design choices.\nUrban Intersection Design: The final block will focus on key principles of urban intersection design\, including control types\, user safety considerations\, and design/control vehicle selection. We will also provide a high-level overview of emerging concepts like protected intersections and multimodal roundabouts. To reinforce learning\, Exercise #3 will be conducted\, each with a facilitator that will guide participants to sketch geometric features of different intersection types. We will wrap up with a summary of key takeaways and an opportunity for participants to reflect on how to apply these concepts in their own practice.\n\nLEARNING OUTCOMES\nAs a result of attending this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the key functions and elements of urban streets\, including the roles of access\, mobility\, placemaking\, and the needs of multi-modal users\nDifferentiate between traditional minimum standards and the “design domain” approach in geometric design and explain the importance of engineering judgment in selecting design parameters\nUnderstand speed management\, self-enforcing roadway concepts\, and the relationship between design features and operating speeds\nAnalyze and conceptually design cross-sections for urban streets\, balancing competing demands within constrained rights-of-way\nEvaluate horizontal and vertical alignment elements for safety and operational effectiveness in urban contexts\nAssess intersection control types and geometric design considerations\, including impacts of design/control vehicle selection and corner radius\nCollaborate in group exercises to solve real-world design challenges\, using interactive tools to reinforce learning through practical application\nInterpret case studies to connect theoretical concepts with built examples\, strengthening the ability to apply best practice to local projects\n\nAUDIENCE\nTechnical guidance on designing urban streets is important to the day-to-day practice of a variety of professionals in transportation and related fields to ensure that their work reflects the changing needs of their local communities. Therefore\, this training program is valuable for a range of practitioners involved in the implementation and management of public streets\, including new road designers looking for a high-level overview of urban road geometric design\, experienced professionals looking to stay abreast of latest best practices\, and everyone in between. This may include transportation planners\, technologists\, engineers\, landscape architects\, and others involved in the planning\, design\, and operation of urban streets. \nFACILITATORS\nJames Schofield\, P.Eng.\, RPP\, RSP2I\nLead Trainer \nJames holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering and a Master of Planning in Urban Development\, bringing over 18 years of engineering experience\, including 7 years in the transportation field.

Please let us know in your registration if you have any dietary restrictions. \nPresentation Details\nTitle: Winnipeg’s Primary Transit Network \nOn June 29\, 2025\, Winnipeg Transit launched a fully redesigned bus system called the Primary Transit Network (PTN). With its introduction\, every existing bus route in the city was replaced overnight. This citywide transformation—affecting more than 750\,000 residents—was the result of over five years of planning\, public engagement\, and coordination across departments. This presentation highlights key lessons learned from delivering such a complex and ambitious project. \nSince launch\, the PTN has continued to evolve\, with a number of smaller adjustments already made and additional improvements planned. By reflecting on both successes and areas for improvement\, this presentation offers practical insights for planners and engineers considering large-scale transit redesigns. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the challenges and opportunities involved in transforming an entire network in a single day\, and why careful planning\, flexibility\, and collaboration are essential to success. \nSpeaker: Adam Budowski\, M.Sc.\, P.Eng. \nAdam Budowski is the Senior Transit Planner at Winnipeg Transit\, where he played a pivotal role in implementing the city’s redesigned bus network. One of Adam’s top career goals is to reduce the impact of ‘silo-ing’ – a concept that is too familiar across many organizations. He strives to create an environment where work isn’t work\, it’s just conversations with other passionate Winnipeggers who want to improve government efficiencies.
