DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our first event of the year with a technical webinar presented by Sophie Renard\, P.Eng.\, Transportation Analyst at Bunt & Associates Engineering Ltd.! \n“Prioritizing Public Cycling Amenities: An Automated GIS Tool”\nWebinar Description:\nAs cities strive to create complete communities\, equitable and effective access to supportive cycling amenities is vital for promoting sustainable transportation and enhancing urban mobility. Increasing resources are being allocated to provide public bicycle parking facilities; however\, while bicycle end-of-trip (EOT) facilities have become more common in private developments\, there is still a gap in best practice research for implementing EOT facilities in the public realm. \nBunt\, together with the City of Nanaimo\, developed a Bicycle End-of-Trip Facility Priority Index tool to identify\, and prioritize locations for public bike parking and EOT facilities. The Priority Index is a GIS-based tool that utilizes an automated spatial analysis process to score potential bike parking sites across the City. The tool considers a variety of factors relating to accessibility\, land use\, equity\, and social well-being. Users can adjust the weighting of these criteria to reflect local priorities\, resulting in a tailored approach that meets the specific needs of the community. Bunt will present an overview of the Priority Index tool\, including a highlight of the challenges faced and lessons learns. \nBunt aims to inspire cities to adopt similar tools that support active transportation. Ultimately\, the Priority Index serves as a vital resource in creating healthier\, more connected\, and equitable communities that promote cycling as a sustainable mode of transport. \n \nPresenter – Sophie Renard:\n‘Sophie is a transportation engineer at Bunt & Associates\, bringing several years of experience in transportation planning and engineering. She has collaborated with communities of all sizes across British Columbia and Western Canada to activate pedestrian\, cycling\, and rolling facilities for people of all ages and abilities. Her work encompasses a wide range of projects that enhance urban mobility\, developing her diverse technical skillset and allowing her to stay at the forefront of best practices in active transportation planning and engineering. By supporting sustainable modes and enhancing urban mobility\, Sophie strives to create complete\, connected\, and vibrant communities where everyone can thrive.’ \nThe webinar will be held over Microsoft Teams on April 30\, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. Please RSVP by April 29 to receive the webinar link to attend.

SUMMARY:Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities of Active Transportation in a Rural and Regional Context
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities of Active Transportation in a Rural and Regional Context \nPresenter: Tyler Thomson\, MCIP RPP PTP\, Associate | Senior Active Transportation Planner \nContributor: Erin Tattrie\, RSE\, GradTECH \nAbstract: Active transportation is a growing and quickly evolving aspect of our transportation realm both in urban and rural areas across Canada. Many communities understand the multitude of benefits that active transportation offers from improved health\, environmental\, social and economic conditions\, whether for commuting to work or school\, or for recreational uses. As such\, communities are planning to incorporate active transportation infrastructure\, policies\, and programs to help draw greater interest and awareness to active transportation and to facilitate and encourage people to choose active modes instead of driving. A broader spectrum of users are also gaining access to active transportation through safer dedicated facilities (i.e.\, children\, older adults\, and people with mobility impairments)\, and evolving technologies including electric assisted bicycles\, scooters and other devices which are helping to catalyze increasing use of active modes. However\, planning for active transportation in rural/smaller communities and regional areas can come with its own set of challenges given the traditional roadway design characteristics\, low densities and separation of land uses\, and expansive areas covered between destinations. This presentation provides further context into these challenges and discusses some of the strategies being explored to address the challenges\, as well as the opportunities that come with planning active transportation for rural and regional areas.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/ElDxNMax6l4\n

SUMMARY:Joint CITE / PIBC Webinar: Doing More with Less: RapidBus Priority Corridors in Metro Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:The CITE BC Interior Section and PIBC’s Okanagan Interior Chapter are excited to bring you a virtual lunch and learn on June 2\, 2021 from 12:00-1:00 pm. \nPresentation Synopsis: \nTransLink recently completed Phase 1 of its RapidBus transit priority program\, consisting of three new and two rejuvenated transit priority corridors in Metro Vancouver. Planning\, engineering\, design\, and construction services for 40 new kilometres of regional mobility improvements were delivered by TransLink and a team from WSP Canada\, Access Planning\, and Nelson Nygaard between Spring 2018 and Fall 2020. \nThe project delivered on its purpose of improving congested transit corridors by installing priority measures and increasing bus travel speeds by 20%\, mostly through more efficient use of existing infrastructure and right-of-way. \nWSP delivered many of the planning and design services for the corridors and will present a holistic picture of the project’s main goals\, constraints\, conflicts\, delivery strategies\, and achievements. This will include a high-level look at the methods used to identify preferred alignments\, specific transit priority features\, and mitigate design conflicts along each of the routes. \nThe presentation will be of interest to anyone interested in improving sustainable mobility outcomes in the Okanagan region. It demonstrates how significant transit priority improvements can be achieved with smarter application of a best practice-focused planning and engineering design approach. \nSpeaker Bios: \nKelly Yang joined WSP’s Transportation Engineering team after completing her civil engineering degree at the BCIT She is developing experience in designing and managing all types of transportation infrastructure including highways and roads\, municipal development works\, pedestrian\, bike\, and transit facilities\, and parking lots through a hands-on approach to learning. \nAlice Zhao joined WSP Transportation Engineering team after completing her civil engineering degree at McGill University in 2019. Her design experience extends to highway\, intersection and railway crossing designs. She is skilled in using Civil3D for modelling corridors and producing sections as well as AutoTURN for swept path analysis. \nMark Merlo manages WSP’s BC Transportation Planning group. He has 25 years of consulting experience in transportation planning and traffic engineering on projects throughout the province and internationally. In recent years he has worked on multi-model projects such as airports\, cruise terminals and transit priority projects. \nRegister here: https://urbansystems-ca.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8SeOFuuBT9Gz_6cuceQYpw
