A virtual session registration link will be sent upon successful registering for the session here. \nProtected Intersection Design\nProtected intersection design is an approach that intends to improve safety and comfort for all ages and abilities of people cycling and walking through intersections. The planning\, design\, and implementation of protected intersections has many aspects that require a thoughtful design approach\, including addressing universal design and accessibility\, complexity of traffic signals\, and winter maintenance. \nThis training will expose transportation professionals to the principles of protected intersection design. The training will draw on forward-thinking design guidance and real-world case studies from around North America and internationally to help participants build an understanding of different approaches to key design issues and trade-offs. Participants will learn to think creatively and outside-the-box in how they tackle practical design issues that municipalities encounter every day. \nThrough this training\, participants will: \n\nBecome familiar and comfortable with protected intersection design principles and how they change with the local context;\nProvide an awareness of guidance available regionally\, nationally\, and internationally to supplement and advance design;\nUse interactive group design exercises to allow participants to gain experience using protected intersection design principles to achieve a better active transportation network\n\nThere will be a total of three training sessions on different dates. These training sessions will be performed virtually in two half-day segments and each training session will have between 30 and 40 participants. The interactive group exercises will be facilitated through break-out rooms which are anticipated to consist of 5-7 participants\, with the exact number depending on the total number of participants in the training session. Breakout rooms will be virtual and will use collaborative tools such as Conceptboard or Miro to allow all participants to contribute to the discussion. \nThe training sessions will be structured to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of protected intersection design. The sessions will be organized as follows: \n\nBrief overview of protected intersections\, including:\n\nIssues for people walking and cycling in typical intersection design\nWhy protected intersections are important and address typical issues for people walking and cycling\nPrinciples of protected intersection design\n\n\nBreakout session #1:\n\nParticipants will review an existing [unprotected] intersection that will be provided and identify potential conflict points and other issues for people walking and cycling\nDifferent contexts of intersections (urban\, suburban\, irregular) will be used in the breakout sessions\n\n\nCase studies to illustrate specific design issues\, including:\n\nTransit stop integration o Constrained contexts\nComplex junctions of bikeways and trails\nHigh-volume turning movements\nLarge vehicle turning movements\nMaterials and elevations\nPaths of travel for people walking and cycling\n\n\nBreakout session #2:\n\nEach breakout room will have a different design issue\nParticipants will use the information provided in the training to provide design ideas to improve their intersection and then present to the group\n\n\nBuilding on the break-out session\, Alta will discuss the different design issues and how each design response can come together into a cohesive design that addresses more than one design issue\nDiscussion about monitoring of the effectiveness of innovative approaches and how design might evolve\n\nKalle Hakala\nKalle has over 14 years of planning experience in active transportation planning\, land use policy\, environmental policy\, and development review working for Alta Planning + Design\, the City of Ottawa\, and the City of Guelph.

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.

This webinar will feature Erin Cooke of the City of Winnipeg\, who will present on Highlights from Winnipeg Transit’s Zero-Emission Bus Program. The webinar will be hosted by Steven Florko of MORR Transportation Consulting Ltd.\, and ITE Manitoba President. \nWebinar Networking\nAs per usual\, we will begin the webinar with 15 minutes of networking in breakout groups. \nSpeaker\nErin Cooke is an accredited Professional Engineer (P. Eng.) and Project Management Professional (PMP) with more than 18 years of experience managing technology projects in the transit and specialty vehicle industries. Erin currently oversees Winnipeg Transit’s bus electrification program\, where she analyzes technological\, operational\, financial\, and environmental considerations involved in transitioning to a zero-emission fleet. Her recently released Transition to Zero-emission Technology Evaluation Report provides the framework for Winnipeg Transit to evaluate currently available zero-emission technology and support future decisions on transit electrification. Erin founded a working group for Mid-size transit agencies in Canada working towards zero-emission transit to support electrification efforts coast to coast and chairs the Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) Zero Emission bus committee. She also actively participates in several NRC working groups in support of the hydrogen strategy of Canada. \nPrior to her work at Transit\, she both designed and led development of battery-electric and (hydrogen) fuel cell-electric transit bus projects as part of New Flyer’s New Product Development team. As an expert with extensive experience and knowledge in the development and application of zero-emission bus operations she is a frequent invited speaker for vehicle electrification and hydrogen fuel cell conferences\, webinars and training programs\, both in Canada and internationally. \nPresentation\nWinnipeg Transit was an early leader in zero-emission buses\, yet more than 4 years after its ground breaking trial ended there are still no zero-emission buses operating on Winnipeg streets. Battery-electric buses reduce GHGs and other pollutants; were proven to be quieter and cheaper to operate than their diesel counterparts; and were able to operate reliably year round. So why didn’t Winnipeg Transit start buying more buses immediately after the trial? \nIt wasn’t directly a technology problem. The demonstration project allowed all of the partners involved to learn key lessons about the construction\, operation\, and maintenance of battery-electric buses\, but did little to assess the costs and the complexity associated with large-scale integration of buses and infrastructure into existing transit operations. Transitioning Winnipeg Transit from a diesel bus operator to a zero-emission bus operator will not be as easy as simply replacing a diesel bus with a zero-emission bus. It will require a systemic change to operations throughout the entire organization\, and significant amounts of planning over the course of several years to implement. \nErin Cooke\, head of Winnipeg Transit’s Bus Electrification Program\, will present an overview of the program highlighting work completed to estimate future electrical loads; design in energy resiliency with solar PV generation and battery storage; the need and timing for utility updates; and share with you the challenges and lessons Transit learned through this process. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\n https://meet.google.com/eew-unfe-pfd\n URL:https://www.itecanada.org/event/ite-manitoba-november-webinar/ LOCATION:Winnipeg Area (Virtual)\, Canada CATEGORIES:Webinar ORGANIZER;CN="ITE Manitoba Section":MAILTO:secretary@manitoba.itecanada.org GEO:49.88287;-97.149393 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: Join Virtual Event

A virtual session registration link will be sent upon successful registering for the session here. \nProtected Intersection Design\nProtected intersection design is an approach that intends to improve safety and comfort for all ages and abilities of people cycling and walking through intersections. The planning\, design\, and implementation of protected intersections has many aspects that require a thoughtful design approach\, including addressing universal design and accessibility\, complexity of traffic signals\, and winter maintenance. \nThis training will expose transportation professionals to the principles of protected intersection design. The training will draw on forward-thinking design guidance and real-world case studies from around North America and internationally to help participants build an understanding of different approaches to key design issues and trade-offs. Participants will learn to think creatively and outside-the-box in how they tackle practical design issues that municipalities encounter every day. \nThrough this training\, participants will: \n\nBecome familiar and comfortable with protected intersection design principles and how they change with the local context;\nProvide an awareness of guidance available regionally\, nationally\, and internationally to supplement and advance design;\nUse interactive group design exercises to allow participants to gain experience using protected intersection design principles to achieve a better active transportation network\n\nThere will be a total of three training sessions on different dates. These training sessions will be performed virtually in two half-day segments and each training session will have between 30 and 40 participants. The interactive group exercises will be facilitated through break-out rooms which are anticipated to consist of 5-7 participants\, with the exact number depending on the total number of participants in the training session. Breakout rooms will be virtual and will use collaborative tools such as Conceptboard or Miro to allow all participants to contribute to the discussion. \nThe training sessions will be structured to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of protected intersection design. The sessions will be organized as follows: \n\nBrief overview of protected intersections\, including:\n\nIssues for people walking and cycling in typical intersection design\nWhy protected intersections are important and address typical issues for people walking and cycling\nPrinciples of protected intersection design\n\n\nBreakout session #1:\n\nParticipants will review an existing [unprotected] intersection that will be provided and identify potential conflict points and other issues for people walking and cycling\nDifferent contexts of intersections (urban\, suburban\, irregular) will be used in the breakout sessions\n\n\nCase studies to illustrate specific design issues\, including:\n\nTransit stop integration o Constrained contexts\nComplex junctions of bikeways and trails\nHigh-volume turning movements\nLarge vehicle turning movements\nMaterials and elevations\nPaths of travel for people walking and cycling\n\n\nBreakout session #2:\n\nEach breakout room will have a different design issue\nParticipants will use the information provided in the training to provide design ideas to improve their intersection and then present to the group\n\n\nBuilding on the break-out session\, Alta will discuss the different design issues and how each design response can come together into a cohesive design that addresses more than one design issue\nDiscussion about monitoring of the effectiveness of innovative approaches and how design might evolve\n\nKalle Hakala\nKalle has over 14 years of planning experience in active transportation planning\, land use policy\, environmental policy\, and development review working for Alta Planning + Design\, the City of Ottawa\, and the City of Guelph.

We will be hosting an open house prior to the luncheon where attendees will be invited to “register” for different event tasks throughout the year. Opportunity to register to present at a specific event will also be provided. \nLuncheon Presentation: \nUrban mobility and last mile logistics is an emerging area for researchers responding to the mandate to build more sustainable cities. Jacob Lamb`s field of study relates to Intermodal strategies for emerging autonomous delivery technology in urban centres. Using Calgary as a case study\, he will discuss how a two-stage cost allocation method with integrated GIS modelling can be used to identify the required number of micro-fulfillment centres in a city\, and where they should be located in order to minimize the costs for a drone delivery service. He will also cover developing approximations for routing methods a “mothership” van can use to deploy a fleet of autonomous sidewalk delivery robots in an urban area. Finally\, Jacob will provide his perspectives on how this tool can be used by public agencies and authorities looking for transparent and defendable approaches to include in their emerging autonomous delivery technology strategies. \n  \nLast mile goods delivery and autonomous vehicles have been identified as a disruptive technology in the Calgary Goods Movement Strategy. Canadian cities and towns are already test beds for this technology causing political and societal interest; see Toronto’s recent ban on sidewalk autonomous delivery robots. With Calgary seen as a leader in the micro-mobility space it is only a matter of time until drones\, sidewalk robots\, and autonomous delivery vehicles make it to Calgary’s streets. Jacob hopes this presentation will prepare the community for the arrival of these technologies and equip them with knowledge and some tools to best integrate them peacefully\, safely\, and productively into our city. \nBio for Jacob Lamb\, University of Calgary \nPhD Student of Transportation Engineering at the University of Calgary\, Canada \nAnalyst at Associated Engineering’s Strategic Advisory Services \nJacob Lamb is a PhD Candidate at the University of Calgary\, Canada\, supervised by Professor S. C. Wirasinghe and Professor Emeritus N. M. Waters\, in the department of Civil Engineering. Jacob also works as an analyst at Associated Engineering in the Strategic Advisory Services team focussing on Intelligent Transportation Systems. With his thesis\, in logistics and transportation\, Jacob is integrating the most advanced continuum approximation modeling methods with modern Geographic Information Systems to understand how autonomous vehicles may change the urban goods delivery system. Jacob previously consulted as the Commercial Vehicle Team Lead at the Transition Accelerator\, Edmonton Region Hydrogen Hub in 2020\, where he secured demonstrations of fuel cell trucks in Edmonton in 2021.

The planning\, design\, and implementation of protected intersections has many aspects that require a thoughtful design approach\, including addressing universal design and accessibility\, complexity of traffic signals\, and winter maintenance. \nThis training will expose transportation professionals to the principles of protected intersection design. The training will draw on forward-thinking design guidance and real-world case studies from around North America and internationally to help participants build an understanding of different approaches to key design issues and trade-offs. Participants will learn to think creatively and outside-the-box in how they tackle practical design issues that municipalities encounter every day. \nThrough this training\, participants will: \n\nBecome familiar and comfortable with protected intersection design principles and how they change with the local context;\nProvide an awareness of guidance available regionally\, nationally\, and internationally to supplement and advance design;\nUse interactive group design exercises to allow participants to gain experience using protected intersection design principles to achieve a better active transportation network\n\nThere will be a total of three training sessions on different dates. These training sessions will be performed virtually in two half-day segments and each training session will have between 30 and 40 participants. The interactive group exercises will be facilitated through break-out rooms which are anticipated to consist of 5-7 participants\, with the exact number depending on the total number of participants in the training session. Breakout rooms will be virtual and will use collaborative tools such as Conceptboard or Miro to allow all participants to contribute to the discussion. \nThe training sessions will be structured to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of protected intersection design. The sessions will be organized as follows: \n\nBrief overview of protected intersections\, including:\n\nIssues for people walking and cycling in typical intersection design\nWhy protected intersections are important and address typical issues for people walking and cycling\nPrinciples of protected intersection design\n\n\nBreakout session #1:\n\nParticipants will review an existing [unprotected] intersection that will be provided and identify potential conflict points and other issues for people walking and cycling\nDifferent contexts of intersections (urban\, suburban\, irregular) will be used in the breakout sessions\n\n\nCase studies to illustrate specific design issues\, including:\n\nTransit stop integration o Constrained contexts\nComplex junctions of bikeways and trails\nHigh-volume turning movements\nLarge vehicle turning movements\nMaterials and elevations\nPaths of travel for people walking and cycling\n\n\nBreakout session #2:\n\nEach breakout room will have a different design issue\nParticipants will use the information provided in the training to provide design ideas to improve their intersection and then present to the group\n\n\nBuilding on the break-out session\, Alta will discuss the different design issues and how each design response can come together into a cohesive design that addresses more than one design issue\nDiscussion about monitoring of the effectiveness of innovative approaches and how design might evolve\n\nKalle Hakala\nKalle has over 14 years of planning experience in active transportation planning\, land use policy\, environmental policy\, and development review working for Alta Planning + Design\, the City of Ottawa\, and the City of Guelph.

With those services has come a rigorous set of data-sharing requirements that allow cities to use trip and route data to evaluate system performance and deliver day-to-day management. Granular data sharing of this kind is likely to grow and encompass more mobility options and aspects of the transportation network. \nWhile this data has many applications for urban planning and understanding the nature of transportation\, it also comes with privacy challenges. Drawing on his experience\, Matt will present the current practice for storing\, using and de-risking shared personally identifiable mobility data for public agencies. \nMatt’s Bio: As a member of the Open Mobility Foundation’s Privacy\, Security and Transparency Committee\, Matt helped write two foundational documents in mobility data governance (the MDS Privacy Guide for Cities and the Privacy Principles for Mobility Data). Matt also developed and launched the first scootershare program in British Columbia while working for the City of Kelowna and brings experience managing the largest global shared micromobility company’s Canadian presence. \nMatt is a highly skilled transportation practitioner with more than seven years experience working on progressive transportation projects across Canada. This includes experience in curb management\, micromobility\, shared mobility\, data governance and active transportation.

Join us on Wednesday\, February 22 from 3:30-5:00pm at WSP’s Thornhill Office to learn about this project from Trevor Jenkins (City of Hamilton) and James Schofield (WSP). \nThe Hamilton Complete Streets Design Manual\, unanimously endorsed by City Council in July 2022\, provides a set of consistent guidelines and tools to inform the design\, implementation\, maintenance\, and monitoring of Complete-Livable-Better (CLB) Streets across the city. The Complete Streets Design Manual provides an expanded toolbox of ways to improve Hamilton’s streets. \nThe Complete Streets Design Manual is more than just another set of guidelines – it is a transformative exercise that overhauls the entirety of Hamilton’s street design standards\, from the reconstruction of the narrow pre-war downtown streets to new arterial streets in employment areas to rural roads throughout the Greenbelt. Through this presentation\, we invite you to discover how the project is creating multi-modal\, greener\, and safer streets that will connect a geographically and socio-economically diverse community and\, in doing so\, serves to create a more equitable transportation system. \nComplete Streets are defined as roadways that are planned and designed to balance the needs of all road users. The goal of Complete Streets is to allow people to get around safely no matter their age\, ability\, or how they choose to move. The Complete Streets concept is closely tied to the Safe Systems and Vision Zero approaches to road safety\, which aim to design the transportation system to anticipate human error and accommodate human injury tolerance with the ultimate goal of eliminating death or serious injury on roadways. \nThis manual is a resource for everyone involved in the planning\, design\, or maintenance of Hamilton’s roadways\, including local residents who support safer streets. Guidance for street design\, intersection design\, implementation\, and general design components is covered in this manual to ensure users and practitioners are well equipped to understand and apply the principles of Complete Streets. \nSpeakers\n \nTrevor Jenkins\, P.Eng.\, PTP is a Project Manager at the City of Hamilton. He manages initiatives that advance the City’s sustainable mobility ambitions\, including long-range active and rapid transit planning\, micromobility\, and active school travel programs. You can find him exploring Hamilton in his downtime\, usually on a bike share bike.\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJames Schofield\, P.Eng.\, RSP₁ is a Project Manager at WSP specializing in complete streets and active transportation planning and design. He led the development of the City of Hamilton’s Complete Streets Design Manual and is also leading Complete Streets Design Manual projects for Niagara Region and the City of Guelph. A Professional Engineer and a Candidate Member of the Ontario Professional Planners Institute\, James is based in Kingston where he can be found riding a cargo bike around with his two young kids.
