DESCRIPTION:Diverging Diamond Interchanges – A Decade of Lessons Learned \nDiverging Diamond Interchanges\, or DDIs\, are a relatively new interchange that has greatly expanded in prominence over the past fifteen years. The first DDI in the US opened in 2008 and opened with little fanfare though it would draw hundreds of visiting engineers to tour it in the years after its opening. This presenter was involved in the post evaluation of that interchange kicking off almost a decade and a half of working on DDIs around the world. This presentation utilizes over ten years of case studies of DDI projects spanning the globe and will highlight lessons learned that span geometric design\, traffic operations and analysis\, public outreach and education\, and maintenance. All of the case studies will involve firsthand experience and involvement and provide insight into design and operational issues that have changed the way subsequent projects have been developed. Case studies will span projects from conceptual development and alternatives analysis to final design to construction and operation. The lessons learned will specifically highlight elements that can be easily overlooked that have direct safety and operational impacts. The presentation will also include elements and issues that need to be taken into account on future projects as well as post-implementation comparisons. \nSummary \nThis presentation utilizes over ten years of case studies of Diverging Diamond Interchange projects spanning the globe and will highlight lessons learned that span geometric design\, traffic operations and analysis\, public outreach and education\, and maintenance. \nBio \nMr. Siromaskul‘s DDI experience includes approximately 100 different project sites with over 40 projects carried into the design process\, half of which are open to traffic\, including the smallest DDI in the world in Cheyenne\, WY\, and the largest DDI in the world in Sarasota\, FL.

SUMMARY:SA ITE January Luncheon and Open House
DESCRIPTION:Open House: \nThis year\, SA ITE is giving the opportunity for its Members at Large to be more involved with the chapter event planning and execution. 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. In all areas of work\, he aims to encourage sustainable and transparent business decisions and government policy.

SUMMARY:An introduction to Expert Witness Work for Traffic Engineers in BC - ITE Greater Vancouver Breakfast Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, most traffic engineers would never see the inside of a courtroom regarding a traffic engineering matter during the course of their career. However\, it is absolutely critical for professional engineers to fully understand their role as the “Engineer of Record” and design professional from a legal point of view as traffic engineers have been getting more involved in expert witness testimony in BC in the last 5 years. An expert witness\, particularly in common law countries such as the United Kingdom\, Australia\, Canada and the United States\, is a person whose opinion by virtue of education\, training\, certification\, skills or experience\, is accepted by the judge as an expert. This presentation will provide attendees with an introduction to Common Law and expert witness definitions\, an overview of the BC Supreme Court and the BC Human Rights Tribunal process\, the typical timeline for expert witness work\, presentation of up to 6 case studies and some closing comments and advice to attendees. \nJan Voss \nJan Voss brings his expertise in traffic engineering\, parking operations\, transportation surveys and transport planning as both founder and current president of Creative Transportation Solutions Ltd. (CTS). He is a registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) and Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (PTOE) in British Columbia\, Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories / Nunavut\, and has over 33 years of experience in the field of traffic engineering and operations. Jan is a certified Expert Witness by both the Supreme Court of BC and the BC Human Rights Tribunal\, and has been providing expert witness testimony and advice for the past 20 years. \nGary Vlieg \nGary is the Vice President for CTS and is responsible for overseeing CTS’s work in the BC Interior\, providing expert witness advice to CTS’s clients\, leading technical assignments\, presenting findings to municipal councils\, mentoring staff and ensuring a high standard of quality on CTS projects. Gary has over 34 years of experience in transportation planning\, traffic engineering and project management throughout Western Canada and New Zealand. He is a registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in British Columbia\, Alberta\, and Yukon Territory. \nBreakfast Meeting Details \nThis session will include a light breakfast at the Executive Suites Hotel & Conference Centre in Burnaby. \n7:30 am – 8:00 am Registration & Breakfast \n8:00 am – 9:00 am Presentation \n

SUMMARY:Protected Intersection Design
DESCRIPTION:Note that this session will qualify for PDH credit for attendees.\n \nSession is being held over two days from Noon to 3:30PM Eastern Time. \nA 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.

SUMMARY:Southern Alberta ITE Luncheon - Managing Privacy Considerations for Mobility Data
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Matt Worona \nPresentation Title: Managing Privacy Considerations for Mobility Data \nPresentation Description: Over the last few years\, many Alberta cities have launched scootershare and e-bikeshare programs. 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.

SUMMARY:Hamilton Complete Streets Design Manual (2022 Project of the Year)
DESCRIPTION:The winner of the 2022 ITE Toronto Project of the Year Award is the ‘Hamilton Complete Streets Design Manual’ by the City of Hamilton and WSP. 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.

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta Luncheon: Rossdale Transportation Network
DESCRIPTION:“River Crossing is where the city meets the North Saskatchewan River at the heart of Edmonton. On both banks of the river connected by the impressive Walterdale Bridge\, and on the water — this is River Crossing.” \nThe Rossdale Transportation Network project\, identified in the River Crossing Business Plan (RCBP)\, aims to enhance public spaces and design the roadway network for all modes of transportation\, including people walking\, biking\, taking transit and driving. The design considers the connections for this important link of roadways into and out of the Rossdale neighbourhood for commuters accessing downtown from the south and for those travelling east-west across the City. Concept planning for the Rossdale Transportation Network was completed earlier in 2023 to establish a plan that meets the Rossdale Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) and the community needs while balancing needs of businesses\, active users and those who commute through the area. \nBackground: In anticipation of the changes adopted in the Rossdale Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP)\, City Administration initiated the Rossdale Transportation Network Analysis study with a focus on verifying and finalizing the changes to the transportation network outlined in the Rossdale ARP. The Concept Plan was completed as a follow up to the Network Analysis study providing the conceptual details to deliver the plan. This Concept Plan carries forward established objectives outlined in the Network Analysis Study\, the RCBP\, Rossdale ARP and River Crossing Heritage Interpretive Plan (RCHIP). The goal was to develop an integrated urban roadway concept and streetscape design that balances the needs of local and regional users. The Concept Plan also incorporates other aspects such as\, but not limited to\, land use\, active modes connections\, accessibility\, stakeholder feedback\, right-of-way requirements\, traffic operations\, transit service\, on-street parking\, utilities (existing and future)\, environmental concerns and historic resources. \nThe Rossdale ARP was adopted by City Council in 1986 without specific direction regarding West Rossdale. Following studies over the subsequent years\, Council adopted the River Crossing Vision for West Rossdale in 2015 and directed Administration to take actions to help bring the vision of the area to life by preparing a heritage interpretive plan and business plan. Following this direction\, the 2017 RCHIP and 2019 RCBP were completed. The RCBP integrates direction from the RCHIP by identifying areas for interpretive programming\, considering connections and compatibility between heritage features and future development and by involving stakeholders and partners connected to the area’s heritage. Through the integration of the RCHIP\, the RCBP provides a fresh redevelopment concept\, along with proposed changes to the transportation network for supporting the proposed redevelopment. \nPresenters – Satya Gadidasu P. Eng – Engineering Program Manager\, City of Edmonton \nSatya Gadidasu is an experienced Engineering Program Manager at the City of Edmonton with over 15 years of experience in modeling\, designing\, and managing projects related to roads\, streetscapes\, and bridges.

SUMMARY:ITE Vancouver Island Section Lunch'n'Learn: Rapid Implementation of Bikeways
DESCRIPTION:Rapid Implementation of Bikeways\nPresented by Brent McMurtry\, P.Eng and PJ Bell\, RPP MCIP (both with Urban Systems) \nOver the past several years\, cities across Canada and throughout the world have increasingly shifted their approach to delivering bikeways by following a rapid implementation or quick build approach. This approach enables the delivery of safe and comfortable cycling facilities—as well as comprehensive cycling networks—all at once and at a lower cost than traditional methods. The flexibility embedded in this process also enables fast and responsive design adjustments\, ensuring that as facilities are made permanent over time\, they meet the needs. Rapid implementation facilitates an urgent response to a range of critical issues facing our communities\, including the climate emergency\, social inequity\, public health\, road safety\, congestion\, and increasingly constrained municipal budgets. This session will provide an overview of the recently published Rapid Implementation Design Guide (TransLink & Urban Systems) and provide real life project examples of rapid implementation projects in Metro Vancouver and beyond. \nPresenters Bios: \nBrent McMurtry\, P.Eng \nBrent is a Transportation Engineer in Urban Systems’ Vancouver office. He specializes in the planning and design of multi-modal corridors and has worked closely with municipalities across Western Canada to design and implement rapid implementation bikeways. \nPJ Bell\, RPP MCIP \nPJ is a Transportation Planner in Urban Systems’ Vancouver office. He specializes in multi-modal integration\, active transportation planning\, and design guidelines. He has supported transportation plans across Western Canada over the past five years and he co-authored both the MOTI British Columbia Active Transportation Design Guide as well as the TransLink Rapid Implementation Design Guide.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta Seasonal Patio Program
DESCRIPTION:Seasonal Patio Program\nPrior to 2020\, there were a half dozen restaurants in Calgary that built boardwalks and street patios during the summer months. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit\, and indoor dining was limited\, over 200 restaurants built expanded seasonal patios. Many restaurants communicated the seasonal patios provided a benefit to their business and to the vibrancy of the street\, and seasonal patios would be welcomed “post-pandemic”. The design\, safety and accessibility of seasonal patios has evolved from orange cones\, to boardwalk platforms with integrated public art and greenery. In this talk\, Andrew Sedor (Mobility Initiatives Lead for The City of Calgary) will discuss the history of the program\, and what to expect for the 2023 seasonal patio program. \n \nAbout the Presenter:\nAndrew Sedor works as the Mobility Initiatives Lead at The City of Calgary. Andrew leads the shared e-Scooter and e-Bike program\, the seasonal patio program\, and other innovate projects occurring in The City’s road right of way. In his prior roles\, he led Canada’s first public-facing autonomous vehicle pilot\, authored Calgary’s Future of Transportation Report\, updated bylaws to accommodate new transportation technologies and trends\, launched The City of Calgary’s Living Lab program\, and led the University of Calgary Wearable’s collaboration. Andrew also teaches a course in Urban Planning at the University of Calgary\, and holds a master’s degree in Land Economics from the University of Cambridge.
