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. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:ITE Canada Northern Alberta Section: Mind the (gender) Data Gap: Public Transit Needs of Canadian Women
DESCRIPTION:Gender has recently been emphasized as an issue to be featured on the agenda of sustainable\nand inclusive public transit planning practices. But\, this knowledge mobilization study led by the University of Alberta researchers revealed that transport planning and design have paid little\nattention to gender. This can be attributed to a lack of gender-specific data\, gender-neutral\nplanning practices\, and a lack of gender representation in the public transit workforce at all\nlevels (from transit operators to senior leadership). \nWith an absence of data collection practices designed to capture gender differences in public transit use and travel demand\, little gender- specific insight can be generated. This is problematic as data are applied in several aspects of transit planning\, such as developing service standards\, fare policies\, and business cases for major public transit projects. This presentation will focus on Canada’s gender data gap\, specific to public transit but also more broadly related to transportation data collection practices\, and its implications on transit planning\, operations\, and resource allocation. Lastly\, action to be taken to close the gender data gap and build an evidence basis of how women use public transit will be discussed with emphasis placed on how we can put women at the heart of future public transit strategies. \nPlease note\, this event takes place on a Thursday. \nDate: Thursday\, April 13\nRegistration & Social: 11:40 AM – 12:00 PM (MDT)\nLuncheon & Presentation: 12:00 – 1:00 PM (MDT) \nLocation: Faculty Club at the University of Alberta\, Winspear Room\, 11435 Saskatchewan Drive\, Edmonton\, Alberta\, T6G 2G9 \nAbout the Presenter\nDr. Emily Grisé is a forward-thinking transport researcher with specializations in the areas of transport & land use planning\, customer satisfaction & loyalty with public transport\, pedestrian & bicycle planning\, travel behaviour of disadvantaged populations (seniors and people with disabilities)\, and public transport planning & operations. She is an Assistant Professor in the School of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Alberta and her work focuses on collaboration with several local and regional transport agencies to directly address issues of concern to key stakeholders. She is also frequently engaged in providing transport expertise in the private sector. The underlying goal of her research is to develop effective policies that contribute to a more livable and sustainable society. \n \n \n
