In the third quarter of 2023, following a brief summer break, ITE Southern Alberta (ITE SA) continued hosting a variety of events for our local chapter. In September, a site tour of the Town of Canmore’s cycling infrastructure was led by Andy Esarte, Manager of Engineering at the Town of Canmore, where attendees experienced first-hand wheeling experience of the traditional infrastructure, newly installed and a vision of what’s to come. Participants were left with a strong impression of the impacts that transportation designs can have on the way people travel, and more importantly, how community is created by roadway designs. Our September Luncheon hosted a series of presentations to learn about the work conducted in the Town of Cochrane. John Stevens and Melissa Henderson from Urban Systems presented on the Hwy 1A/22 utility relocations project and the HWY 1A Improvements project; Vamsi Surapaneni and Dominic Cheng from ISL presented on the Highway 1A/22 interchange project. The presentations outlined how collaboration among the project teams with the interconnected projects, the Town of Cochrane and Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors lead to greater success for all parties in one of Alberta’s fastest growing communities.
