DESCRIPTION:Delving into the current state and long-term vision for transportation on the Canadian prairies\, focusing on adaptability\, resilience\, and safety.\nThe Northern Alberta\, Southern Alberta\, Saskatchewan\, and Manitoba Sections are pleased to invite you to our first joint event\, entitled\, Beyond the Horizon: Future-Proofing Transportation on the Prairies. Speakers will focus on four key topics relevant to the current state and long-term vision of transportation on the prairies. This is an interactive session – we want to hear your thoughts and ideas. \nDate: Monday\, February 26\nTime: 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm MST (2:00 pm – 3:30 pm CST)\nRegistration Fee:\nMember: $5\nNon-Member: $10\nStudents: Free \nAll proceeds will be donated to Indspire\, a national Indigenous registered charity that invests in the education of First Nations\, Inuit and Métis people. \nSpeakers and Topics\nEmergency Response for Alberta Wild Fire Evacuation\nDr. Stephen Wong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta and leads the Resilient and Sustainable Mobility and Evacuation (RESUME) Group. Dr. Wong’s research focuses on the intersection of disasters/emergencies\, decision-making\, and transportation and works to create more resilient\, environmentally friendly\, and equitable transportation systems. He is actively involved in resilience and young professional activities at the Transportation Research Board and evacuation research at the International Association for Fire Safety Science. Dr. Wong received his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2020. \n \nRoad Safety Act Discussion\nMarcia Eng is a Senior Transportation Engineer and has over 23 years of diverse transportation planning and operations\, urban design and construction\, and project management experience. She has worked closely with clients in various municipalities throughout Alberta\, British Columbia and Manitoba to ensure safe and comfortable mobility options for people of all ages and abilities. She has developed a unique perspective of balancing competing needs through all phases of a project and between different roadway users. \nMarcia will share key insights from a panel discussion hosted by the Southern Alberta Section in November of 2023 that explored the ways in which transportation engineers interact with the provincial Road Safety Act\, and how we can best work together to support evolution of legislation while pursuing safe and equitable street design decisions. \nTechnology on the Highway: Are We There Yet?\nDerek Jaworski is a graduate of the University of Regina Faculty of Engineering\, and has worked for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways since 2006. After working five years as a Traffic Engineer\, he became Manager of Traffic Services and has remained in that capacity since. His primary responsibility is managing traffic data on the highway and rural municipal road systems. In recent years\, his responsibility has expanded towards ITS\, including authoring and updating the Strategic Plan for ITS in Saskatchewan\, and overseeing ITS related operations. In TAC he is a member of the ITS Committee and participates in the Connected and Automated Vehicles Integrated Committee and the Technology Council. \nHis presentation will highlight some of the technology the Ministry of Highways uses from a monitoring and traveler information perspective\, and describe conditions that affect the operation of the system. While a plan for the future is on paper\, a few back-of-mind things will be mentioned that could shake the plan from more of the same. \nRural Intersection Road Safety\nDr. Craig Milligan is a recognized international expert in road safety engineering and product manager for safety technologies at Miovision as well as the managing director of Fireseeds North Infrastructure\, a leading road safety audit firm. He has completed more than 600 in-service road safety reviews and design audits at all stages for more than $8B of capital projects\, and he is a frequent road safety instructor for the International Road Federation. He built and led MicroTraffic\, a leading road safety video analytics company\, until its acquisition by Miovision in February 2023. He has authored 30 technical papers and 10 design guidelines. \nRural intersections are unfortunately the sites of many collisions resulting in fatalities and serious injuries. High speeds and right angles combine to produce high risk potential\, although there are opportunities to manage this risk through a wide range of interventions and design practices. This presentation will look at a spectrum of proven interventions for rural intersection safety and a spectrum of methods for deciding where to implement these interventions. In general this ranges from systemic\, wide scale application of low-cost interventions to focused application of high-cost interventions following screening and detailed risk diagnosis. \n*** \nAttendees will hear brief overview presentations from all speakers\, and then delve deeper into two topics during breakout group discussions. Come to hear ideas\, share ideas\, and connect with peers from across the prairies. \nAgenda: \n\n\n\n1:00 pm – 1:10pm \nWelcome and introductions\n\n\n1:10pm – 1:35pm\nOverview presentations \n\n\n1:35pm – 1:55pm\nBreakout group 1\n\n\n1:55pm – 2:15pm\nBreakout group 2\n\n\n2:15pm – 2:30pm\nReconvene with all attendees\n\n\n2:30pm \nAdjourn formal session\n\n\n2:30pm – 3:00pm\nOptional networking period

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.

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:NACITE: City of Edmonton’s Saskatchewan Drive Network Analysis: A Multi-modal Policy Based Approach
DESCRIPTION:A concept plan was completed for the Saskatchewan Drive (99 Street to 109 street in Edmonton) rehabilitation project in 2018 that included the addition of a shared use path and widening of the existing shared use path. The project did not proceed to preliminary design due to significant costs and stakeholder concerns. During the Covid 19 Pandemic\, the City implemented “mobility lanes” along Saskatchewan Drive (between 109 to 104 street) to provide additional space for active transportation users and received positive feedback from the public. The combined implications of shared use path widening costs and public feedback from lane closures prompted a review of the concept plan. \n \nThe Saskatchewan Drive Network Analysis project included a multi-modal evaluation to understand the impacts of lane reduction on Saskatchewan Drive for implementation of a dedicated cycling facility. The primary goal of this study was to inform next steps for the Saskatchewan Drive corridor and provide the City with information about whether an updated concept plan should be prepared to enhance the cycling and pedestrian facilities between 109 Street and 104 Street. A secondary goal of the project was to test out the policies related to City Plan as it applied to the evaluation. We will provide an overview of the evaluation criteria that was developed for this project\, process of evaluation\, study outcomes and recommendations for future work. \nBios: \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 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 and is P.Eng\, PMP and ELITE certified. \nErin Toop moved from Edmonton to Jasper in 2018 and has missed NACITE luncheons and events ever since. At WSP she is a Senior Consultant in the Sustainable Transportation Advisory team\, where she has been leading and collaborating on multi-modal transportation projects across Western Canada\, with a focus on planning for public transit and active modes. \nAnika Muhammad is a Transportation Planning Engineer with WSP with 11 years of experience in multi-modal planning\, Complete Streets\, strategic transportation planning and policy development.

SUMMARY:NACITE Webinar: Moving Beyond Theory: How to Apply and Integrate GBA+ Practices Within Your Organization
DESCRIPTION:Gender Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) is a tool and approach that helps to analyze your services\, products\, and processes from a gender and intersectional lens. When applying GBA+ you are better able to explore the needs of different groups of people\, as well as recognize their multiple identities (such as gender\, race\, ethnicity\, class\, religion\, age and mental or physical disability etc.). that impacts their experiences.\nWhile more and more people are familiarizing themselves with the concept of GBA+\, many leaders and staff struggle with the “how to” aspect of the framework. What does it really mean to apply and embed GBA+ thinking to your workplace policies and practices? Where do you start and what pre-conditions need to be in place? This webinar focuses on GBA+ applications. The goal is to deepen your understanding of the utilization of GBA+ and demonstrate how you might integrate it into your current projects. Participants will learn how GBA+ can be used to: \n\nuncover barriers to accessing transportation services and new modes of transportation\nbuild practices and policies into organizational structures to reduce barriers and biases in workplace processes\nexplore new ways of thinking and working that centres the experience of historically marginalized and underserved communities\n\nA case study highlighting critical foundational components and outcomes will inspire participants to get started on their own GBA+ journey. \nSpeaker bios: \n\nChanel Grenaway has over 20 years of experience focused on integrating equity\, a gender lens\, and intersectionality practice into workplace cultures. She has a range of expertise from work with Foundations\, multi-service non-profit agencies and academic institutions. Chanel played a pivotal role in the research and planning of a new 5 course specialization on gender-based analytics developed and offered by the Institute for Gender and the Economy (available on Coursera). The course explores the ways that gender identity\, Indigeneity\, race\, ethnicity\, disability\, sexual orientation and other intersections shape risks\, opportunities and impacts of an organization’s activities\, operations and outcomes. Chanel is the lead instructor for the qualitative data collection and community-based engagement module. She is currently supporting organizations to improve their equity and inclusion outcomes through equity assessments\, training and knowledge building\, community engagement\, and action planning. For more information you can visit her website at http://www.chanelgrenaway.com\nHannah Rosen (she/they) is an intersectional gender equity specialist with experience applying GBA Plus in the private\, public\, and non-profit sectors.

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.

SUMMARY:NACITE March Webinar
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 \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/0aERApf9tCc\n

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta - The Next Generation of Road Safety Audits: Automated Road Safety Assessment using LiDAR Data
DESCRIPTION:Icebreaker Social: February 2 @ 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: February 2 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nAbout the Presentation \nIt is globally accepted that road collisions represent a major cause of death and exert a huge economic burden on both individuals and governments. Consequently\, efficient methods are required to identify causes of road collisions before making recommendations for mitigations plans. The key to selecting an effective countermeasure\, for an underlying road safety problem\, relies extensively on the ability to accurately identify the factors that might have contributed to a particular location being classified as a high-collision location. This brings the issue of “proper safety diagnosis” to the forefront of any safety mitigation strategy.\nThe current practice of assessing geometric site conditions and identifying potential collision causes relies on physical site visits and on-site observations. Consequently\, several challenges arise. For example\, subjective judgement is introduced due to the reliance on the judgment and opinion of observers. More so\, these conventional methods are both time-consuming and labor-intensive\, thereby\, limiting the implementation of a large-scale diagnosis effort of the entire roadway network.\nWith the significant advances in data acquisition techniques\, there has been a paradigm shift towards extracting roadway features and establishing an inventory of road conditions in an automated and efficient manner. This presentation will demonstrate the value of using LiDAR data in aiding road safety reviews and identifying potential collision causes through the automated safety assessment of roadway conditions. \nAmr Shalkamy holds a Ph.D. degree in Transportation Engineering from the University of Alberta and is currently working with Mott MacDonald in Vancouver. Amr has 10 years of experience in transportation engineering working in both academia and industry\, nationally and internationally.\nAmr’s research focuses on safety-based roadway design and using LiDAR point cloud for road safety and design assessments. Amr has published several research papers in top tier transportation journals. He has also received several awards and support for his research from Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada\, Alberta Innovates\, TAC\, Transport Canada\, and the City of Edmonton.
