DESCRIPTION:ITE Manitoba will be hosting the 2021 Annual Business Meeting on Tuesday December 14th\, at 1:30 pm. This meeting will include a review of the 2021 year\, a financial report and 2022 budget presentation\, and upcoming events for 2022. \nAt the beginning of the webinar\, participants will be split into breakout groups for approximately 10 minutes of networking. \nFollowing the Annual Business Meeting\, Shawn Doyle of Dillon Consulting will be presenting. Shawn has over 30 years of experience in transportation and traffic engineering and planning. He has worked extensively for clients in central\, western and eastern Canada and in the Caribbean and Middle East. Shawn has managed a broad spectrum of technical assignments\, ranging from long-range transportation policy\, to corridor and network planning projects\, traffic and parking planning assignments and detailed traffic operations assessment studies. He enjoys helping communities to create practical\, sustainable transportation systems that will benefit them for years to come. \nShawn’s presentation will be on Multi-Modal Level of Service. Transportation performance measures for vehicles are well-established and understood\, but methods for assessing performance for people walking\, cycling\, and taking transit are less well-developed. In this presentation Shawn will introduce Dillon’s Multi-Modal Level of Service (MMLOS) framework\, which is an integrated system for understanding how well a street or road serves all modes of travel\, and how changes to the street or road may impact performance for each mode.

SUMMARY:CITE Manitoba Section June Webinar
DESCRIPTION:On June 24th\, ITE Manitoba will be holding a webinar featuring Richard Tebinka & Don McRitchie of WSP Canada Inc. who will be presenting on the Winnipeg South Perimeter project\, and Sushreeta Mishra\, winner of this year’s Kean Lew Memorial Student Paper Competition. The webinar will be hosted by Steven Florko of MORR Transportation Consulting Ltd.\, and ITE Manitoba President. \nWebinar Networking \nWe have decided to try something new with this webinar format – the webinar will begin with approximately 10 minutes of breakout groups. This will give participants the chance to catch up and network for a few minutes before the presentations\, just like the in-person days! \nSpeaker 1 and 2 \nRichard Tebinka is WSP’s Manager – Manitoba Transportation\, and the office lead for the Lombard office. Richard has a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Lakehead University\, and a Master of Applied Science from the University of Waterloo. Richard is a registered Professional Engineer in Manitoba\, Ontario\, and Saskatchewan\, a Fellow of ITE\, and spent 10 years on the Manitoba Section executive. He is a member of TAC’s Mobility Management Committee\, and co-author of a just published TAC report on “Public Engagement in Sustainable Mobility Projects”\, and a Past-President of ACEC Manitoba. \nRichard was the Project Manager for the recently completed “South Perimeter Highway Design Study\, and Functional Design for the Future St. Norbert Bypass” project for Manitoba Infrastructure\, and the Senior Advisor on the current Owner’s Engineer assignment for the Design Build of an interchange and related roadworks at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road). \nDon McRitchie is a Senior Project Manager with WSP Canada with over 40 years of experience in transportation engineering with federal\, provincial and private sector agencies. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Manitoba. Most of his career has been with Manitoba Infrastructure (MI) where his initial focus was construction management. That transitioned into design engineering\, where he was the Senior Detailed Design engineer for the Province with responsibility for design standards\, design studies\, and the review of all transportation designs. \nLater in his career\, Don was the inaugural head of the Capital Projects Branch which had responsibility for the largest capital works and the first alternative delivery projects undertaken in Manitoba. In that role\, Don was the project manager for the South Perimeter Highway Design Study completed in 2020. He is currently the Deputy Project Manager for WSP’s Owner’s Engineer assignment from MI for the Design-Build project for an interchange at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road). \nRichard and Don will be presenting on the South Perimeter Project: \nThe South Perimeter forms the south link of the Perimeter Highway around the City of Winnipeg. It is approximately 42 km in length and travels through four municipalities. Tied to this project is the St. Norbert Bypass\, with travels through a fifth municipality. The Province of Manitoba has committed to examining the South Perimeter to bring it up to freeway standards\, with 22 grade separations\, including interchanges\, river crossings\, and rail grade separations. Currently there is a mix of interchanges\, at-grade intersections\, and at-grade rail crossings. \nThere were a number of challenges along the corridor that needed to be addressed in development of the recommended plan\, including coordinating with a separate Provincial review for short term safety improvements. \nAlternative interchange types were examined\, however\, adjacent constraints often limited the types of interchanges that could be considered. Configurations considered at the various locations included cloverleafs\, Parclos\, trumpet\, diamonds\, diverging diamonds\, and hybrids. \nAddressing the concerns and desires of stakeholders\, such as active transportation proponents\, environmental proponents\, protecting public parks\, a Scouts Canada campsite\, the Seine River (canoe travel\, pedestrians\, cyclists\, and wildlife crossings)\, were among the many challenges. \nSince completion of the study in 2020\, the Province announced the construction of the first new interchange at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road) as a design-build project. This presentation will provide an overview of the project and discuss what is planned at the St. Mary’s Road location. \nSpeaker 3 \nSushreeta Mishra is a senior year Ph.D. student in Transportation Engineering (Dept. of Civil Eng.) at the University of Manitoba\, Winnipeg. It’s also her first year as a member and secretary of the ITE University of Manitoba Student Chapter. \nSushreeta’s work experience includes working as a part-time researcher at CUTRIC on an electric bus scheduling project. As a delegate selected from Manitoba for the Young Leaders Summit in Calgary (2019)\, she got a unique opportunity to learn\, showcase ideas\, and network with peers and industry experts in transit and sustainable transportation. Sushreeta’s primary research interest is in transit operations and planning\, and her Ph.D. thesis focuses on optimizing the operation of semi-flexible transit for low-demand conditions. \nSushreeta will be presenting on Stochastic Optimization of Semi-Flexible Transit Operations: \nSemi-flexible transit (SFT) is commonly discussed as a cost-effective alternative to serving public transportation users in low demand conditions. Despite its considerable potential\, implementation of SFT is limited due to two primary operating challenges: (a) fluctuating travel demand and (b) service unreliability. Most researchers recently are rigorously involved in developing complex algorithms and heuristics to handle operational planning issues while a very few focused on optimization of variables for SFT operation involving tactical decision making. Moreover\, the optimization of decision variables are largely based on a single dimension of stochasticity\, demand only. The present study proposes a methodology to optimize two decision variables\, service headway and proportion of requests accepted for curb-to-curb service per trip while operating SFT following a route-deviation operating policy. Implementing stochasticity in both demand and vehicle arrival\, we perform multi-objective optimization with two conflicting objectives as minimization of operator cost and user cost. Pertaining to vehicle delays and demand variability linked to values of decision variables in the Pareto set\, we define the risks associated with selecting each value for attaining Pareto optimality. The risk is proportionate to occurrence of a decision variable value in the Pareto set. The presented methodology can be adopted as a decision support tool to establish planning policies to optimize SFT operation while considering interests of both operator and user. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://meet.google.com/pbi-pdqs-bhi\n

SUMMARY:CITE Manitoba Section Webinar: Transit Planning in Winnipeg
DESCRIPTION:ITE Manitoba will be holding a webinar on Transit planning in Winnipeg. The webinar will be hosted by Steven Florko of MORR Transportation Consulting Ltd.\, and ITE Manitoba President. \nRegister here or via the event website below. \nSpeaker 1 \nKevin Sturgeon is a transportation engineer and Senior Transit Planner for Winnipeg Transit. He has over 15 years of experience in multi-modal transportation planning\, policy\, design\, and standards development in the public and private sectors. Kevin is a user of several modes of transportation and believes communities benefit from enabling individuals to choose the mode that suits them. \nThe Winnipeg Transit Master Plan is the first comprehensive master plan for public transit service and infrastructure in Winnipeg’s history. Winnipeg Transit worked with consultants Stantec and subconsultants HTFC\, Argyle\, and MORR on a two-year effort to ascertain Winnipegger’s mobility needs\, based on data and public feedback\, and create a network that helps people get where they need to go. With this plan\, the transit route network will be redesigned to enable people of all abilities to travel anywhere\, anytime\, often with no need for a schedule. The new transit network is centred on three rapid transit lines running to each corner of the city. The heart of this rapid transit system will be Union Station\, attracting new life to this landmark heritage building as the city’s flagship mobility hub. \nSpeaker 2 \nGraeme Masterton is the current Global Transit Planning Lead for Stantec located in the Victoria BC office. Graeme has over 33 years of experience in the transit industry\, working at three transit agencies (Calgary\, TransLink\, BC Transit) and two Olympic Games (Vancouver\, London). He currently works on transit\, resort\, and venue projects across North America with a focus on transit and multimodal integration. He was the co-creator of the Frequent Transit Network concept in Vancouver with Jarrett Walker. \nGraeme will present the structure of the Winnipeg transit network and how it will transform from a confusing mix of multi-purpose routes to a system of primary and feeder routes\, with feeder routes tailored to getting people from their neighborhoods to a primary route and primary routes that move people longer distances. \nSpeaker 3 \nBob Kurylko is a Senior Transportation Engineer located in the Stantec Winnipeg office. With over 40 years in the transportation field\, in public service and private industry\, Bob remains a significant contributor to many iconic projects around the City of Winnipeg. He continues to be involved in transportation planning for many major development projects in and around the City\, across Manitoba\, and into Ontario and Saskatchewan. With roots in Traffic Operations and Traffic Engineering\, he remains a strong advocate for designing roads that reflect the context of the facility and embracing technology in the planning of transportation facilities so they meet the needs of all users. \nBob will demonstrate how Stantec leveraged cell phone and ridership data as part of the Winnipeg Transit Master Plan\, as well as how community needs were identified and incorporated in the design of local and primary routes. \nSpeaker 4 \nTeresa Platt is a clinically trained health care provider with the City of Winnipeg. Teresa is currently the A/Manager of the Client Services Division at the Transit Department. Teresa has dedicated her professional career as a leader in the cross sections of health care\, regulatory & transportation industries. Her work has been published in professional journals\, presented at various conferences/symposiums and lecturers at the University of Manitoba for the Department of Occupational Therapy. As an investigator for a professional regulatory body\, she has expanded her knowledge of advanced investigation skills and procedural fairness. \nNow more than ever\, as highlighted over this past year\, has the global connection between health care and transportation stood so evident. Gone are the days where public transportation is a simple task of moving people from one point to another. We are arriving and even catapulting ahead\, to recognizing transportation as an integral link to a person’s quality of life\, as recently noted by the World Health Organization (WHO). This presentation will review the key elements of a travel chain perspective and the paradigm shift in the public transportation continuum of services available for the citizens of Winnipeg.

SUMMARY:CITE Manitoba Section Webinar: School Travel Planning
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nThe webinar will be hosted by Jennifer Chapman of Manitoba Infrastructure and ITE Manitoba President. \nSpeaker 1: Marie-Soleil Cloutier\, Institut National de la recherche Scientifique (Montreal) \nPresentation: Children safety around schools and parks as pedestrians: what to worry (or not) about! \nThis presentation take a closer look at two of our projects where 1) we observed child when crossing in different built environment and 2) we organize walkabouts with them around schools to get their feeling on their itinerary. We recorded their behaviors\, but also their interaction with adult drivers to see if there are differences depending on individual and crossing site characteristics. \nMarie-Soleil Cloutier is a health geographer and associate professor in Urban Studies at Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (Montreal\, Canada). Her research focus on the impact of the built environment on health\, and issues related to pedestrian injuries and road risk perceptions are her prime interests. Director of the LAPS (Pedestrian and Urban Space Lab)\, she is currently involved in several multidisciplinary research teams working on pedestrians of all age (seniors\, children and at-risk workers especially). Most of her research projects are in collaboration with community partners (cities\, public health\, NGOs\, etc.) and other researchers in Quebec\, Canada and France. \n \nSpeaker 2: Denae Penner\, Green Action Centre (Winnipeg) \nPresentation: School Streets: A Winnipeg Pilot Project \nGreen Action Centre coordinated a pilot of School Streets in Winnipeg this Fall\, which started in early September at Isaac Brock School. A school street is a temporary road closure on the street in front of a school\, with a short-term restriction on vehicle through-traffic. A method that was championed in the UK\, School Street closures are an innovative approach to support student health and safety. School streets reduce traffic congestion\, air pollution\, and noise pollution\, while addressing road safety issues that deter active school travel. The result is a safer\, healthier and more enjoyable environment for everyone in the school community. \n \nDenae Penner is the Senior Program Coordinator at Green Action Centre. She is an environmentalist and outdoor enthusiast with 10 years of experience in event and program management. She is a University of Winnipeg graduate with a degree in Environmental Studies in active transportation and urban sustainability issues. Her work focuses on equitable transportation\, children’s mobility\, and authentic public participation. Outside of work\, Denae is an avid skier and runner\, exploring Manitoba with her dog Rhubarb. \n \nSpeaker 3: Jamie Hilland\, Urban Systems (Winnipeg) \nPresentation: School Travel planning as part of neighbourhood study and design projects in the City of Winnipeg \nOver the past decade\, the City of Winnipeg has increasingly come to recognize the importance of youth and school engagement as part of transportation planning projects. As part of these efforts\, the City of Winnipeg now includes School Travel Planning as key component of active transportation planning projects. In this presentation\, we will look at the various processes employed to effectively consult and engage with students and families as part of previous neighbourhood study and design projects. These projects include the Ruby/Banning corridor study\, the West Alexander to East Exchange project\, as well as the recently completed Wolseley to Downtown walk/bike project. We’ll examine current best practice in the realm of school travel planning and youth engagement\, and highlight lessons learned from past school travel planning and youth engagement projects \n \nJamie Hilland is a Sustainable Transportation Planner with Urban Systems\, and is the former Program Director of the Active and Safe Routes to School Program at the Green Action Centre in Winnipeg. In this role\, Jamie assisted communities across the Province of Manitoba in identifying strategies to improve the safety and numbers of children able to travel via healthy and sustainable transportation modes. \nJamie has continued working in the realm of active school travel and sustainable transportation with a number of clients across Canada\, including the Active Transportation strategy for the City of Windsor ON\, the Cycling Strategy for the City of Edmonton AB\, the Youth Sustainable Transportation Strategy for TransLink in the Metro Vancouver region\, the Wolseley to Downtown and Ruby/Banning projects for the City of Winnipeg\, the Northmount Drive project for the City of Calgary\, a school bike park at AE Wright school in the Seven Oaks school division\, and the Active Transportation Strategy for the City of Dauphin MB. This fall Jamie will also be working on a project looking at how to effectively integrate health into various planning processes for Health Canada\, as well as working with CAA to produce the first national safe school travel report card that will grade provinces and major municipalities on their efforts to improve the safety of children and families on the school journey. \nJamie is the current Chair of Active School Travel Canada\, and sits on the Expert Advisory panel of the CIHR funded CHASE (Child Active Transport Safety and the Environment) study at the University of Calgary that is examining how the built environment influences child active transportation and active transportation injury across Canada. He also sits on the expert advisory team of the Research project at the University of Western Ontario titled “Development and implementation of a pan-Canadian surveillance system of active school travel behaviours and school zone built environments”\, and is part of the expert advisory panel of the Ontario Active School Travel Study of “The measurable indicators of Active School Travel”. Jamie sits on the Policy Committee for the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycling Professionals (APBP)\, and was a contributor to the recently released NACTO “Streets for Kids” Design Guide.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://meet.google.com/egr-zfou-duj\n
