MEMORANDUM The Corporation of Delta Engineering To: Mayor and Council From: Steven Lan, P.Eng., Director of Engineerin g Date: July 9, 201 3 Subject: Council Workshop: Pattullo Bri dge Replacement File No.: 1220·20/PATT CC: George V. Harvi e, Chief Administrative Officer TransLink recently completed the initial round of public consultation sessions in New Westminster and Surrey to solicit feedback from the public on the Pattullo Bridge. A number of alternative crossings were developed for three possible corridors: 1. Existing Pattullo Bridge Corridor 2. Sapperton Bar Corridor • New crossing located east of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would provide a more direct connection between Surrey and Coquitlam 3. Tree Island Corridor • New crossing located west of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would essentially function as an alternative to the Queensborough Bridge Based on the initial screening work that has been undertaken, six alternatives have been identified for further consideration: 1. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (3 lanes) 2. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (4 lanes) 3. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) 4. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (5 lanes) 5. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (6 lanes) 6. Sapperton Bar Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) coupled with Rehabilitated Pattullo Bridge (2-3 lanes) Options involving a new bridge are based on the implementation of user based charges (tolls) to help pay for the bridge upgrades.

  • Outcomes in Suicidal Bridge Jumping in the Lower Mainland-JRB
    Outcomes in suicidal bridge jumping in the Lower Mainland by DYLAN STEPHANIAN BASc, The University of British Columbia, 2014 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Experimental Medicine) The University of British ColumbiA (Vancouver) December, 2019 © Dylan Stephanian, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the thesis entitled: Outcomes in suicidal bridge jumping in the Lower Mainland Submitted by Dylan Stephanian in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MAster of Science in Experimental Medicine. Examining committee Dr Jeff Brubacher, Emergency Medicine Supervisor Dr Doug Brown, Emergency Medicine Supervisory Committee Member Dr Andrew MacPherson, Emergency Medicine External Examiner ii Abstract On average, one person attempts suicide by jumping from a bridge in the Lower Mainland of British ColumbiA once every 14 days, but the population that jumps and their outcomes following a suicide attempt are poorly understood. A multi-agency retrospective chart review was performed using records from the Canadian Coast Guard, Joint Rescue Coordination Center, police departments, and the British Columbia Coroner’s Service to identify incidents. A complete picture of each incident was then built by identifying corresponding BC Ambulance Service and hospital records, and linking all records for each incident. This methodology successfully identified a comprehensive list of incidents, and may be useful in future prehospital and search and rescue medicine research. Records from the ten agencies involved in these incidents were collected and linked to create a dataset describing all known jumps from a bridge >12m in height in the Lower Mainland of BC from January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2017.

Historic Landscapes are places which possess a link or continuity of natural and built components that are united by human use and past events. Restoration is a process which involves the return of a building or site to its appearance at an earlier time. The building or landscape is recreated as it once was according to accurate historical or visual documentation. Renovation is often used interchangeably with rehabilitation to describe the modification of an existing building. Renovation extends the useful life of the building and may involve the upgrading of services.

    City of Delta F.07 COUNCIL REPORT Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council File No.: 5220-30/GMTR From: Engineering Department Date: October 26, 2017 Review of Bridge Traffic Volumes Since Tolls were Removed The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the City Manager. • RECOMMENDATION: THAT this report be received for information . .• PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide the recent traffic volume data for Fraser River crossings in the Lower Mainland since bridge tolls were removed. • BACKGROUND: Bridge tolls on the Port Mann Bridge and Golden Ears Bridge were removed on September 1, 2017. A press release from the Province indicated that removal of the tolls would shorten commute times, help improve traffic flow on other bridges and clear up other routes so people could spend less time queued in traffic. • DISCUSSION: Updated traffic count information has been provided from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for the Fraser River crossings in the Lower Mainland (Attachment A) . Table 1 below shows detailed traffic volumes for September 26, 2017 compared to September 27,2016. T a bl e 1 .
