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 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 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.

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. 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 as led 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 where he interned at the Transportation  Modelling Group led by Dr. Eric Miller. He is also P.Eng\, PMP and ELITE certified.
