  • 8.0 Existing Conditions – Infrastructure and Services
    Volume 5D, ESA - Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Socio-Economic Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Socio-Economic Technical Report 8.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS – INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES This Section discusses the existing conditions related to physical infrastructure and community infrastructure and services in the study area. Factors that are discussed include: • transportation infrastructure (e.g., roads, rail and air); • linear infrastructure (e.g., transmission lines, pipelines) and power supply; • waste and water infrastructure; • housing; • educational services; • emergency, protective services and social services; and • recreational amenities. Discussion is focused on infrastructure that may be physically disturbed by the Project, as well as the overall capacity of community infrastructure and services to meet Project-related changes in demand. Health infrastructure and services are discussed in the Community Health Technical Report of ESA Volume 5D. See Section 9.0 of this report (Navigation and Navigation Safety) for a discussion of the use of navigable watercourses. 8.1 Transportation Infrastructure This subsection discusses existing transportation infrastructure (i.e., roads and traffic, airports, railways, and ports) located in the vicinity of the Project. Provincial highways in Alberta are maintained by Alberta Transportation and are designated as primary highways. Primary highways in Alberta are divided into two series. The 1 to 216 series have the highest traffic volumes, are mostly paved and make up the core highway network. This report will discuss only provincial highways in the 1 to 216 series in the vicinity of the Project. The 500 to 986 series (formerly secondary highways), have lower traffic volumes, are largely gravel and make up the local highways (Alberta Transportation 2013).

  • Alberta Transportation High-Tension Median Cable Barrier Program
    TAC 2009 Road Safety Engineering Award Nomination of ALBERTA TRANSPORTATION HIGH-TENSION MEDIAN CABLE BARRIER PROGRAM THE NOMINATED ROAD SAFETY ENGINEERING PROGRAM EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. wishes to nominate the Median Cable Barrier Program of Alberta Transportation (AT) for the 2009 Road Safety Engineering Award of the Transportation Association of Canada. Shown below is the cable barrier installation on Highway 2 in Calgary. This submission briefly describes AT’s overall road safety approach, and presents the details of the nominated program as required in TAC’s call for nominations. ALBERTA TRANSPORTATION’S APPROACH TO ROAD SAFETY Enhancing road safety is a paramount objective of Alberta Transportation. The Department lists “Managing provincial transportation safety” as Core Business No. 2 among its four core businesses. Core Business No. 1 is “Developing and preserving the provincial highway network”. To ensure that the required organizational effort is devoted to safety, the Department has a dedicated Transportation Safety Services Division headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister. The division includes an Office of Traffic Safety, which manages AT’s safety plans and coordinates province- wide transportation safety initiatives. Reflecting the importance given to safety in the Department, 1 the Office of Traffic Safety reports functionally to the Deputy Minister, although administratively to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Transportation Safety Services. AT’s “Alberta Traffic Safety Initiative” has been in place since 1996. In 2003, AT commissioned an independent review of the Alberta government’s traffic safety programs, which included very extensive consultations with stakeholders. The result was the June 2004 McDermid Report, “Saving Lives on Alberta’s Roads: Report and Recommendations for a Traffic Collision Fatality and Injury Reduction Strategy”.
