DESCRIPTION:From the Netherlands to North America – best practices in multimodal integration\nPresentation Brief \nMany people know the Netherlands for their cycling culture and world class bicycle infrastructure. What is less well-known is the Dutch expertise in multi-modal transportation – connecting people both on foot and on bike with efficient public transit systems. Join us on this webinar as we look to international expertise in the planning and design elements that make for seamless connections between active transportation and public transit. Some of the themes addressed will include active transportation networks and safe street design\, station access by foot and bike\, and bike parking facilities. We will then return to examples in Ottawa and San Diego to learn how these elements are being applied in a North American context and discuss ways to further develop multi-modal transportation hubs. \n \nWayne Gong\, P.Eng. \nAs an Integrated Mobility Specialist in Mobycon’s North American office in Ottawa\, Wayne brings along many years of public sector experience from western Canada to the team – a combination of project management and integrated transportation planning and design. One of Wayne’s proudest accomplishments includes planning and delivering Edmonton’s first residential protected cycling network\, spanning seven neighbourhoods. He also spearheaded various corridor and neighbourhood-wide projects across North America by providing holistic and context-sensitive mobility solutions. His in-depth understanding of the project lifecycle and evidence-based approach enable him to work effectively with stakeholders to address their concerns by applying Dutch inspired best practices. Wayne is committed to creating more 15-minute communities where dwellers can safely and comfortably access work/school\, play and socialize without car dependency. \nMary Elbech \nWith a background in active transportation planning from Denmark and the Netherlands\, Mary has over a decade of experience in adapting international best practices to work within a local context. Since 2011\, she has supported communities in becoming safer and more bicycle and pedestrian friendly through leading-edge projects around new mobility\, shared spaces\, community-led design\, 20 mph zones\, Complete Streets\, and safe and active school zones. She has worked on the FHWA Bike Facility Selection guidelines\, developed a tactical urbanism workshop series around community-led solutions for safer streets\, and is currently leading Mobycon’s role on the NCHRP Guidebook for Urban and Suburban Cross-Sectional Roadway Reallocation. She is a graduate of the University of North Carolina\, and leads Mobycon’s US office. \n

SUMMARY:SAITE Webinar: Transportation Planning in a Post-Pandemic World
DESCRIPTION:As our final virtual webinar for ITE Southern Alberta Section before returning to in-person meetings\, we are pleased to welcome two guests from Boston\, Massachusetts to share insights and recommendations for the future of multi-modal transportation planning in a post-pandemic world. \nLiza and Jason will share experiences from their work on unique multi-modal transportation plans within Toronto\, Tampa\, and Chicago\, and offer ideas for how transportation practitioners can strategically look ahead in light of significant travel behaviour changes unfolding from the COVID-19 pandemic\, climate emergency\, and global supply-chain disruptions. \nJason Schrieber\, Senior Principal\, Stantec \nJason Schrieber is a multi-modal planner and designer focused on the intersection of the public realm and safe\, efficient and healthy communities. For over 25 years\, he has helped hundreds of communities\, institutions\, and developers understand how individual travel behaviors are influenced by physical and economic attributes\, resulting in solutions that elevate the importance of smarter and shared mobility for cost reduction and mode shift; reveal the true costs of parking to change the calculus on how employees commute; and promote safer places for travelers of all backgrounds and abilities through balanced\, user-based analytical tools. Working across all forms of transportation\, Jason has shown places from Boston to Abu Dhabi how to manage parking in difficult shared environments; how to develop demand-management programs that get people to choose transit\, walking\, and biking; and how to smartly design multi-modal solutions that range from the site to corridor to community-wide levels—always aiming to use transportation investments and mobility strategies wisely. Successes include built road diets\, completed transit-oriented developments\, campus-wide parking management programs\, multi-modal traffic operations solutions for complex intersections\, dynamic curb operating plans and more. Jason is currently leading the walkable redesign of Kenmore Square in Boston\, the mobility component of the Woodbine Districts master plan in Toronto\, and multiple downtown rapid recovery mobility solutions for the State of Massachusetts. \nLiza Cohen\, Senior Associate\, Stantec \nLiza is a multimodal transportation planner with a deep understanding of the user experience in complex transportation networks. Specifically\, she understands how transportation choices and modes come together to form networks. Her work ranges from town- and city-wide mobility planning to parking management plans to developing innovative and flexible solutions to unique circulation challenges. In each of these\, Liza’s approach is to synthesize data and community and stakeholder feedback to provide better transportation options. Liza is currently serving as deputy project manager for a transportation plan Everett\, a city neighboring Boston\, as well as an advisor for a street redesign in the commercial heart of Burlington\, VT. Liza has also served as deputy project manager on multiple citywide mobility plans including the recently released Go Boston 2030 as well as large scale development projects\, often leading innovative and comprehensive analysis\, placemaking\, and creation of transportation options.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/t1km06F9AG8\n

SUMMARY:CafeTO – Café Guidelines 2021
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Friday April 1\, 2022\, From 11am to 12pm \nLocation: Online (Microsoft Teams)\n \nRegistration fee: Free – Microsoft Teams link will be emailed after the registration deadline\, March 30th.\n \nProject Abstract \nWhen the COVID-19 pandemic hit Toronto\, necessary citywide shutdowns devastated local businesses with restaurants being closed to indoor dining for much of the period from March 2020 to the summer of 2021. With restaurant capacities limited and traffic seemingly reduced\, the roadway provided an innovative opportunity to aid local business and the workforce through the creation of new patio spaces in the curb lane. CaféTO not only aided a struggling industry\, it also breathed much needed public life back into the City in a safe and unprecedented way. The City of Toronto retained IBI Group to collaborate in providing this critical support to restaurants and Business Improvement Areas (BIAs). CaféTO provided a framework for the seasonal transitioning of curb lanes and parking spaces into restaurant patio spaces. The program transformed stretches of the curb lane into patios\, while maintaining the necessary infrastructure for safe vehicular and active transportation movement. A thorough analysis of each location was undertaken to ensure adequate flow of traffic\, protection of parking spaces where necessary\, re-routing of cycling infrastructure and reduced speed limits as required. The number of parking spots replaced by patios were quantified to understand the economic impact in parking revenues. \nPresenter’s Bio \nAstrid Greaves MLA\, MA \nAstrid is a Senior Urban Designer with a background studying Landscape Architecture\, Sociology\, Urban Theory\, Art and Architectural History. Astrid has developed extensive experience with urban design and strategic planning projects from small to large scale. Astrid’s approach to design is grounded in an understanding of the complexities of social phenomena and space. Her interests are focused on creating socially and ecologically resilient places that are liveable\, promote community\, and hold a strong sense of place. Astrid was central to the success of the CaféTO program in 2020 and 2021. Serving as the public realm and streetscape design lead for the project team\, Astrid coordinated the Streetscape Plan effort\, the delivery of the Traffic Closure Plans\, and communication with BIAs. \nNote that the Microsoft Teams link will be emailed to registrants after the March 30th registration deadline.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://itecanada.org/link-will-be-emailed-later/\n

With restaurant capacities limited and traffic seemingly reduced\, the roadway provided an innovative opportunity to aid local business and the workforce through the creation of new patio spaces in the curb lane. CaféTO not only aided a struggling industry\, it also breathed much needed public life back into the City in a safe and unprecedented way. The City of Toronto retained IBI Group to collaborate in providing this critical support to restaurants and Business Improvement Areas (BIAs). CaféTO provided a framework for the seasonal transitioning of curb lanes and parking spaces into restaurant patio spaces. The program transformed stretches of the curb lane into patios\, while maintaining the necessary infrastructure for safe vehicular and active transportation movement. A thorough analysis of each location was undertaken to ensure adequate flow of traffic\, protection of parking spaces where necessary\, re-routing of cycling infrastructure and reduced speed limits as required. The number of parking spots replaced by patios were quantified to understand the economic impact in parking revenues. \nPresenter’s Bio \nAstrid Greaves MLA\, MA \nAstrid is a Senior Urban Designer with a background studying Landscape Architecture\, Sociology\, Urban Theory\, Art and Architectural History.

SUMMARY:APPI & NACITE - Edmonton's City Plan - Getting from Policy and Analysis to Action
DESCRIPTION:Time: 11:30 AM – 1 PM\nIn Person Event: Hot Lunch Buffet\nLocation: Papachase Room 2nd Floor Faculty Club\, University of Alberta 11435 Saskatchewan Drive Edmonton\, AB\nCost: $37 \nAbout the Presentation \nEdmonton’s City Plan was developed with a target of doubling Edmonton’s population to two million people over several decades. The City Plan is Edmonton’s combined transportation master plan and municipal development plan. The development of this visionary planning document considered the integral choices that are related to growth such as where will people live\, where jobs will be located\, where services and amenities will be provided\, and how people will access these opportunities. Understanding that the future is uncertain\, different tools can help us to understand what those choices might look like in terms of the benefits and drawbacks associated with various land use and transportation permutations. Part of this is through evidence-based testing of possible growth scenarios and policy to demonstrate impacts at a city-wide scale. This is integral in order to ensure the relationships and interactions between land use and transportation are properly evaluated. Pablo and Howaida will discuss this development process of The City Plan and some of the corresponding implementation initiatives and programs underway to ensure the benefits for Edmontontians described in The City Plan begin to become reality \nAbout the Presenters: \nHowaida Hassan is a General Supervisor of Urban Growth with the City of Edmonton; the group responsible for implementing the growth management framework\, advancing growth monitoring and analytics\, and advancing infrastructure planning to support our strategic goals. Prior to this role\, Howaida lead the development of strategic planning documents such as Edmonton’s Goods Movement Strategy\, Edmonton’s first Electric Vehicle Strategy and Smart Transportation Action Plan. Most recently\, Howaida was the General Supervisor on the development of The City Plan. Howaida is interested in the cross-section of city building\, urban mobility and equity and how it shapes our cities and supports people. She earned her bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Waterloo and is a registered professional engineer. \nPablo Orozco is a passionate transportation professional and Edmontonian. He is currently the General Supervisor for Mobility within the Planning and Environment Services Branch at the City of Edmonton. His experience includes working as a transportation engineer for The City Plan project where he co-lead a holistic analysis of Edmonton’s mobility system and land use patterns as well as led the Mass Transit Study which identified the necessary mass transit network and policy for 2 million people. He has led the development of a Mobility Network Analysis and Mass Transit Planning work at the City of Edmonton both of which are implementation plans of the City Plan. He has also served as a Program Manager within the IIS department of the City of Edmonton. Pablo holds a Masters of Engineering from the University of Toronto where he interned at the Transportation Modelling Group led by Dr. Eric Miller. He is also P.Eng\, PMP and ELITE certified.
