ITE Canada 2023 EXCELLENCE IN TRANSPORTATION AWARDS & SCHOLARSHIPS
Stan Teply Outstanding Technical Project Award
York University Protected Intersection and Cycling Connections City of Toronto & Alta Planning + Design Canada
The Stan Teply Award recognizes outstanding projects that showcase excellent technical achievement in transportation planning and/or engineering in Canada. The York University Cycling Connections project included Toronto’s first protected intersection and created a safer and more beautiful connection from two subway stations to campus. Green infrastructure, pedestrian connectivity, accessibility, multi-modal safety and transit features were integrated from the outset. The project was delivered by the City’s Transportation Services team without bundling with road works.
Accepted by (L-R): Kanchan Maharaj, Nataliya Pekar, and Kate Whitfield
Many of these features had never been implemented. The team worked with stakeholders to reach agreement and address the challenges of implementing the design which now inform the 20+ protected intersections under design and construction across the City.
