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 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

SUMMARY:ITE Vancouver Island Section Lunch'n'Learn: Victoria International Airport Runway 09-27 End Safety Area
DESCRIPTION:Victoria International Airport Runway 09-27 End Safety Area\nPresented by Joseph Chen\, P.Eng PMP\nDirector of Planning & Engineering\,\nVictoria Airport Authority \nPRESENTER: As Director of Planning &Engineering Joseph is responsible for overseeing engineering projects spanning the planning\, design\, procurement\, and execution phases. He received numerous professional Engineering Association awards for both the Calgary International Airport East Deicing Apron project in 2022 and Calgary International Airport Runway and Tunnel project in 2015. His previous airport experience (prior to joining VAA) includes work at Yellowknife\, Cold Lake\, and Hamilton airports. \nDESCRIPTION: As reported in 2018\, Transport Canada at that time had plans to introduce new regulations that would make it mandatory for larger airports in Canada to have 150 metres of extra space at the ends of their runways. This extra space is known as Runway End Safety Areas (RESAs) and are designed to prevent aircraft from overshooting the prescribed landing area. \nThe move comes more than a decade after the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) found that the RESA at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport was too short\, after an Air France flight slid off one end of the runway and caught fire in August\, 2005. The TSB\, in its review of the incident\, recommended all major airports in Canada extend their RESAs by 300 metres. \nIt was reported that the runways at Victoria International Airport would fall under those proposed regulations from Transport Canada\, expecting the legislation would apply to airports that see commercial passenger traffic of at least 325\,000 a year — which Victoria exceeds. YYJ has peaked at just over to 2 million passengers through its gates in recent years. \nJoseph will give an update on the works under way at YYJ to comply with these requirements.

SUMMARY:The Road to Transportation Equity: Early Findings From Municipal Policies and Actions
DESCRIPTION:Many Canadian municipalities are establishing policies to confront inequities persisting from historical approaches to community and city planning. At the same time\, governments are continuing to invest in building transportation systems that aim to be safer and more sustainable in the face of climate change and other mobility challenges. What can be learned from the evolution of equity policies in Canadian municipalities to date\, and how can equity principles be applied on the ground to ensure that our road safety efforts benefit those who need them most? \nThis webinar will share early findings from an environmental scan of equity policies in Canada\, and key insights from transportation professionals who are actively integrating equity into their planning and practice\, including applications to road safety. This work is part of a broader research initiative—led by a team at Simon Fraser University and Level Up Planning—that is developing case studies of cities making progress on sustainable transportation equity. Following the webinar\, participants will have the opportunity to delve into lessons learned from these case studies more deeply at an interactive workshop at the upcoming ITE Canada/CARSP conference\, entitled “From Rhetoric to Reality: Promising Practices for Advancing Equity in Canadian Communities.” \nThis webinar will also provide an update on the ITE Canada/CARSP Conference 2023. \nRegister here for your tickets. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nTessa Williams is a Registered Professional Planner (RPP\, MCIP) that seeks to bridge the worlds of academia and practice in order to build more sustainable\, equitable communities. As a research assistant at Simon Fraser University and intern with LevelUp Planning Collaborative\, she is contributing to research that aims to offer practical guidance for multisectoral professionals involved in planning\, implementing or advocating for sustainable transportation \, and grappling with how to successfully embed equity in this work. She developed cross-jurisdictional transportation knowledge during her time in NS\, ON and BC\, and welcomes opportunities to learn about communities from coast to coast to coast. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nVictoria Barr\, PhD is Principal at LevelUp Planning Collaborative Inc.\, a consulting firm that helps communities build health and equity into their policies and practices. She has 25 years of experience as a planner\, advocate and researcher\, including work developing equity policies with municipalities. \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Hearson is a Transportation Engineer with Stantec in the Winnipeg office. Mark brings over 10 years of experience\, primarily from consulting to provincial and municipal clients across Canada while working in the private sector. He is a demonstrated leader\, with an ability to account for a broad range of considerations in the areas of transportation engineering and planning\, road safety\, airport planning\, investment strategy development\, and asset management. Mark is an executive member of the Transportation Association of Canada Road Safety Committee and co-chair of the upcoming joint ITE Canada/CARSP conference in Winnipeg.

SUMMARY:ITE Canada Southern Alberta Section: Advancing Your Career Through Certification
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Your Career Through Certification\nHow can you differentiate yourself in today’s competitive job market? One avenue is demonstrating advanced knowledge and expertise as well as a high level of dedication through the achievement of certification. \nThis webinar will present an overview about the Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (PTOE) and Professional Transportation Planner (PTP); Road Safety Professional\, Level 1 (RSP1); and Road Safety Professional Level 2 (RSP2) – certifications offered by the Transportation Professional Certification Board (www.tcb.org). In this webinar\, we will provide in-depth information about the RSP certification. \nThe RSP certification establishes a minimum level of knowledge based on the current state of practice\, encourages professional development and growth by applying new concepts\, and creates an environment for universities to expand their curriculum to produce graduates that are proficient in the field of safety. Certified road safety professionals will be recognized for their knowledge\, experience\, and expertise in road safety. \nWith increasing emphasis being placed on consideration of safety in all aspects of transportation management\, the need to recognize road safety as a distinct discipline becomes evident. In 2016\, the Transportation Professional Certification Board (TPCB) began efforts to develop a Road Safety Professional Certification (RSP). This effort is supported by a broad cross-section of transportation and safety organizations from the United States and Canada and provides two certification levels. This webinar will describe the areas that are covered under RSP Level 1 and RSP Level 2-Infrastructure and Behaviour and how they relate to consideration of safety within an individual’s job. This webinar will also provide the information needed to register and prepare for the certification exams. \nParticipants will also hear about the preparatory resources available through ITE as well as general information about the certification process. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn how certification can benefit your career development and make you more attractive to prospective employers\nThe attendees will become familiar with the certifications offered by Transportation Professional Certification Board (TPCB)\nBecome familiar with the two domain areas of the safety disciplines (infrastructure and behaviour) that form the foundation for the RSP certifications.\nLearn about what is needed to apply for and to take the exam/s for potential certification/s at Level 1 and Level 2\nUnderstand general policies and procedures about the certification process\nLearn about available preparatory resources\n\nPresenter Bio\nGeni Bahar\, P.Eng.\, P.E.\, RSP | NAVIGATS Inc. \nMs. Geni Bahar\, P.Eng\, P.E. (civil)\, RSP2I\, FITE has more than forty years of experience in traffic and road safety engineering. She currently serves as the president of NAVIGATS Inc. Ms. Bahar has been involved in the process of development of the RSP certification exams since the inception of this idea through her involvement in the Transportation Association of Canada’s Road Safety Standing Committee.

SUMMARY:ITE Canada: Northern Alberta Section The Genesis of Terwillegar Drive Stage 1 – Freeway to Expressway
DESCRIPTION:Since 2001 the City of Edmonton has been exploring options for the upgrade of Terwillegar Drive between Anthony Henday Drive and Whitemud Drive to accommodate evolving traffic demands along the corridor. In 2018\, the original vision of a six-lane freeway complete with interchanges was recognized to incorporate several elements that were no longer consistent with the city’s transportation goals and an alternative strategy to meet current design standards\, economic constraints and the wants and needs of adjacent communities was developed. Our presentation provides some insight on the genesis of the expressway concept\, the extensive public engagement process undertaken by the project team and details some of the challenges and outcomes experienced through the planning\, design and implementation of the expressway corridor that is currently being constructed. \nDate: May 3\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\nCost: $35.00 ITE Member / $40 Non-ITE Member / $50 Late Registration (within 24 hours of event start) \nAbout the Presenters\n \n \nBrad Crossland a Professional Engineer with Al-Terra Engineering\, has almost 20 years of experience in the planning\, design\, management and delivery of urban transportation projects in the Greater Edmonton area.

The City of Kitchener and Region of Waterloo have kindly offered us a guided tour of the updated Downtown Kitchener active transportation and transit infrastructure\, followed by a social dinner at Crabby Joe’s. \nHave you wondered how we begin to shift to the idea of moving people\, not just cars? Maybe how to improve transit ridership in a developing downtown core? Join us for an informative walking tour of the recently transformed downtown Kitchener network\, especially focusing on: \n– LRT and transit use \n– Pedestrian travel \n– Cycling infrastructure \n– Moving away from auto-centric design \nThis tour can even help to build a greater knowledge and appreciation for those Transportation Professionals (engineers\, technologists\, designers\, planners) who have not had a chance to work in active transportation and transit. This is a great opportunity to meet and engage with your peers in the Southwest Ontario Transportation sector. For those travelling to Kitchener from the west\, consider taking the train from your nearest VIA station as it will be possible to travel by train on VIA Rail to Kitchener and then either on GO Transit or on VIA Rail to return home. \nDate: May 3\, 2023\nArrival Time: 1:15 pm\nStart time: 1:30 pm sharp\nAddress: 60 Victoria St N\, Kitchener\, ON N2H 5B9 (parking lot immediately west of The Rumpel Felt Co. Building) \nComfortable shoes are encouraged as this tour is approximately 2.2 KM. \nWe will end the tour at Crabby Joe’s Bar • Grill\, King Street East\, Kitchener\, ON\, around 3:15
