Pattullo Bridge Replacement L P PATTULLO BRIDGE REPLACEMENT Date: Monday, July 15, 2013 Location: Annacis Room Time: 4:15 - 4:45 pm Presentation: Steven Lan, Director of Engineering Background Materials: Memorandum from the Director of Engineering dated July 9, 2013. i. 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. Additional consultations are scheduled for the Fall of 2013 and Winter of 2014. The Corporation of Delta Eng ine ering Subject: Council Workshop: Pattullo Bridge Replacement Page 2 of 2 File No : 1220-20/PATT Staff are seeking Council direction to send a letter (Attachment A) to TransLink to voice objections to any crossing involving the Tree Island Corridor. The use of this corridor to establish a new crossing will likely cause a significant increase in traffic across the Alex Fraser Bridge and North Delta. As well, that TransLink be requested to include a specific evaluation on the possible traffic impacts to Highway 91, Alex Fraser Bridge and key east-west MRN roads in North Delta based on the six shortlisted alternatives and the proposed tolling of any new bridge crossing.

  • 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.

File: 01-0150-20- Director, Transportation THIG1/2017-Vol 01 Re: Installation of Dynamic Message Sign on Southbound Knight Street Staff Recommendation That the staff report titled "Installation of Dynamic Message Sign on Southbound Knight Street" dated March 27, 2017, from the Director, Transportation, to support regional transportation management in the Metro Vancouver area, be received for information. Victor Wei, P. Eng. Director, Transportation (604-276-4131) Att. 1 REPORT CONCURRENCE ROUTED To: CONCURRENCE CONCURRENCE OF GENERAL MANAGER Engineering Real Estate Services REVIEWED BY STAFF REPORT I INITIALS: AGENDA REVIEW SUBCOMMITTEE PWT - 30 5338814 March 27, 2017 - 2 - Staff Report Origin At the March 18,2015 meeting of the Public Works and Transportation Committee, members received a staff report for information regarding the installation of a dynamic message sign by the Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure (the Ministry) to provide northbound road users on Knight Street with up-to-date travel information. Installation of this sign is currently proceeding. Continuing the expansion oflntelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that benefit Richmond's road users by allowing for more effective monitoring and management of traffic incidents, as well as the provision of real-time information to the public, this report describes the forthcoming installation of a complementary dynamic message sign by the Ministry to provide southbound road users on Knight Street with current travel information. Analysis Dynamic Message Signs The Ministry has installed a number of dynamic message signs (DMS) along provincial highways in Metro Vancouver that provide travellers with real-time information on road conditions such as travel times and wait times at Canada-US border crossings.

  • Vulnerability Assessment of Arizona's Critical Infrastructure
    Leadership in Sustainable Infrastructure Leadership en Infrastructures Durables Vancouver, Canada May 31 – June 3, 2017/ Mai 31 – Juin 3, 2017 SCOUR IN COMPLEX BRIDGE PIERS: FRASER AND PADMA RIVERS Jose A. Vasquez1,2, Kara I. Hurtig1, Matt S. Gellis1, Andre Zimmerman1, Bruce W. Walsh1. 1 Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Ltd. (NHC), North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT The construction of complex bridge piers in large sand-bed rivers has become increasingly common. These piers are made by driving or boring a group of piles deep into the riverbed and then connecting them by a pile cap on top, over which the stem of the pier supporting the deck is located. In contrast with conventional footings, the pile cap is located high above the riverbed and close to the water surface, functioning also as protection against ship collision. The combination of several piles, pile cap and stem above the riverbed gives the pier a complex geometry, which does not easily fit with the simple geometry commonly assumed by most scour prediction equations; hence the need for mobile-bed physical modelling in order to determine scour depths for design purposes. We report the results of several complex piers scour experiments carried out at Northwest Hydraulic Consultants’ laboratory including the Golden Ears Bridge, Port Mann Bridge and Pattullo Bridge in the Fraser River, British Columbia and the Padma River Bridge in Bangladesh. These pier tests encompass a wide range of conditions such as vertical and inclined piles (diameters from 1.8 to 3.0 m), rectangular, octagonal and dumbbell-shaped pile caps (pile cap lengths between 18 and 60 m), and flow discharges ranging from 2-year to 100-year floods.
