District of Oak Bay Pedestrian and Sidewalk Master Plan
The Pedestrian and Sidewalk Master Plan will help to build an inclusive and connected pedestrian network that strengthens the quality of life for the Oak Bay community. Enhancing the pedestrian network will also help to improve connections between other modes, such as transit.

Our team completed a condition assessment of the existing sidewalks to update the District’s Sidewalk Priority Index. Based on community feedback on the key barriers to walking and studying traffic volumes, we developed a suite of design measures that could be applied to various locations to improve safety, comfort, enjoyment, and navigability for the citizens of Oak Bay.

City of Coquitlam Bicycle Parking Design Guidelines
The Coquitlam Bicycle Parking Design Guidelines are an important tool for advancing the City’s sustainable transportation goals. The guidelines encourage active transportation through bicycle use and support the reduction of off-street parking within Coquitlam’s Transit Oriented Development areas.

Our team prepared the Bicycle Parking Design Guidelines to guide designers as they incorporate bicycle parking in new buildings and include city-wide bike parking and design requirements.

Stampede Park Mobility Study
Stampede Park is the home of the 10-Day Calgary Stampede and many other large festivals and events. The $500 million BMO Convention Centre Expansion in Stampede Park will bring more visitors to the area, increasing transportation demand.

Our team developed a Mobility Study for Stampede Park to identify existing and future event frequency, review active transportation links, assess transit options, and identify temporary event management for the Calgary Stampede. The mobility study identified gaps in the network  for cyclists and confirmed that an internal transit route is not viable due to congestion/event roadway closures.

West District Master Plan
The West District will be a high-density activity centre on a 95-acre site. The development will add approximately 2,500 dwelling units, 4,600 new residents, and 3,600 jobs.

Our team identified several transportation improvements to accommodate the proposed densities in the development. Our work resulted in a Master Plan that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists. Direct connections between destinations, short block lengths, a high density of intersections, and a public realm make walking and cycling the most convenient way to travel.

Banff Trail Active Redevelopment, Calgary
Banff Trail is designated as a Transit-Oriented Development area in Calgary’s Growth Management Framework due to the area’s proximity to Banff Trail LRT station and the University of Calgary. Five redevelopment projects in the area were proposed, with over 300 housing units.

Our Transportation Impact Assessment for Banff Trail identified sufficient vehicle capacity to accommodate the proposed developments; however, areas for improvement with pedestrian crosswalks and cycling connectivity were also identified. As a result, the City of Calgary implemented new separated cycling facilities, improved sidewalks, and controlled crosswalks.

Sapperton Green Master Plan: Braid Station Transit Exchange
& Access Reconfiguration
This 30-acre, high-density, mixed-use development was proposed adjacent to the Sapperton Skytrain station. The site faced significant challenges, including frequent train crossings at a nearby intersection, proximity to several other congested intersections, and poor accessibility to a busy regional roadway.

Our team completed site access development work to ensure that bus travel times would not be materially impacted and to demonstrate that the existing bus slip roads could function satisfactorily when shared with vehicle traffic from the development.

Heather Lands Rezoning, Vancouver
The Heather Lands is a 21-acre site centrally located in Vancouver, BC, on unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (MST).

Rooted in the processes of reconciliation, the project vision is to recognize the traditions, culture, and values of the MST and to create a sustainable new neighbourhood that will be a place to welcome and connect all people for generations to come. Pedestrian and bicycle networks form a key component of the sustainable design vision.

University Heights Revitalization Multi-Modal Transportation Plan
The University Heights Shopping Centre will be redeveloped to become a complete community with new rental housing, grocery, retail, a daycare, publicly accessible greenspace, and improved circulation.

BMO Centre Expansion Mobility Study, Calgary
The $500 million BMO Convention Centre Expansion within Stampede Park will enhance Calgary’s capacity to host larger events and boost the city’s economy. The Centre’s location within the vibrant Rivers District meant that considerable attention needed to be placed not only on the movement of private vehicles but also on pedestrian movements, active modes, transit, and LRT services.

Our team developed a mobility study to address the expected increase in year-round transportation demand from the expanded BMO Convention Centre and assess the adequacy of active transportation connectivity.

University of Alberta Greenhouse Gas & Commuting Survey
University of Alberta Energy Management and Sustainable Operations (EMSO) sought to collect the necessary data to calculate greenhouse gas emissions generated by student and staff commuter travel.

Our team developed surveys for the EMSO group on multiple occasions to gather data on modal split, travel patterns, and commute satisfaction. Our work included survey data reduction, analysis, a comparative review, and study documentation. The study results allow the University of Alberta EMSO to continue tracking greenhouse gas inventory data related to travel behaviour over time.
