Each strategic direction has a series of short-term and long-term objectives and a list of initiatives and/or actions that are underway, proposed, or recommended to occur, within the next 5 years. Waterfront Character Areas Part 4 of the Strategy looks at the existing waterfront and divides the islands into 12 Character Areas defined by factors such as natural and cultural features; the existing built-environment; predominate upland land-use; FREMP Area designations; and the profile and natural processes of the river. Each area has a descriptor with main character defining elements, a map of City ownership, and key considerations for future planning. More work will be needed on the finer details of the waterfront character areas in order to establish a long-term vision and recommendations for specific projects in each area. v redefining living on the edge... table of contents Table of Contents Part 2 – Framework .................................. 13 Acknowledgements......................................................... i Guiding Principles ........................................................ 14 Executive Summary ....................................................... iii Waterfront Vision ......................................................... 17 Table Of Contents .........................................................vii Redefining the edge ............................................................. 17 Part 1 – Background ..................................ix Identifying key strategic directions ........................................ 18 Introduction ................................................................... 1 Framework For Action .................................................. 18 The Approach ..........................................................................................2 Coordination and Engagement ............................................. 19 Defining the Waterfront ................................................. 3 Strategic Direction No. 1: Working Together ................. 19 Physical Entity ..........................................................................................3 Strategic Direction No. 2: Amenities and Legacy

  • Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation
    Walterdale Bridge Replacement Concept Planning Study and Approach Roads Evaluation Final Report April 2011 4.0 BRIDGE CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT 4.1 INTRODUCTION The new Walterdale Bridge will replace the existing three-span structural steel truss bridge that was constructed in 1912 to 1913 to carry two lanes of roadway traffic and a street railway across the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta. The existing bridge currently carries two lanes of northbound traffic, along with pedestrians and bicyclists on sidewalks on both sides, and a number of utilities across the river. The terms of reference for the "Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation" indicate that the existing structure should be replaced with a functional signature bridge that will form an attractive entrance to downtown Edmonton. The replacement is to have an innovative urban design complementing the "West Rossdale Urban Design Plan", and respecting the aboriginal burial grounds on the north bank of the river. In Phase 1 of the "Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation", we compared signature extradosed, arch and cable-stayed bridge replacement alternatives to a more conventional girder bridge alternative. We developed the conceptual bridge designs for the Base Road Option. The geometry and appearance of the structure will be similar for the East and West Side Road Options. We assumed that the replacement bridge will carry three lanes of northbound traffic and possibly one lane of southbound traffic, in addition to pedestrians, bicyclists and utilities across the river. As the study progressed in Phase 2, a through-arch bridge was selected as the preferred alternative.

  • Patullo Environmental Assessment
    October 9, 2018 To: Gerry Hamblin, Project Assessment Manager, Environmental Assessment Office ​ From: HUB Cycling1 and BC Cycling Coalition2 ​ Subject: Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project Environmental Assessment Our Concerns: ● Indirect access to the bridge for people walking and cycling as shown in project drawings would significantly increase travel distances, times and effort, thereby decreasing the effective range and limiting the potential growth of these modes of transportation. ● High levels of exposure to traffic pollution and noise for people walking and cycling due to insufficient separation or buffering between traffic lanes and walking and cycling facilities. Our recommendations and comments include: 1. Walking and cycling access to the bridge designed to minimize travel distances, travel times and grades throughout the project area. 2. Walking and cycling facilities designed to connect not only to existing facilities but also to potential future facilities, recognizing that cycling facilities in particular are incomplete and further development is anticipated on both sides of the bridge. 3. Separation of traffic lanes and walking/cycling facilities by placing the latter beneath the bridge deck. 4. If below bridge deck facilities are not possible, effective pollution and noise barriers between motor vehicle traffic lanes and the physically protected walking/cycling facilities. 1 & 2. Walking and Cycling Access to the Bridge The Pattullo Bridge plays a central role in TransLink’s conceptual Regional Bikeway Network. Among Fraser River crossings it provides the shortest, most efficient connection between major regional population, employment and education centres 1 HUB Cycling is a charitable organization working to get more people cycling, more often in Metro Vancouver.

    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure 2010TRAN0031-000770 June 25, 2010 CANADA LINE RECOGNIZED AS WORLD-CLASS PROJECT VICTORIA – An international publication has featured the rapid transit Canada Line among the 100 most innovative and socially significant infrastructure projects around the world, said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Shirley Bond. “British Columbians can be proud that the Canada Line has once again been recognized as an outstanding infrastructure project. In December 2009, the Canadian Council for Public- Private Partnerships presented the Canada Line with their Gold Award for infrastructure excellence,” said Bond. “The Canada Line was showcased to the world during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and its continued ridership success reinforces the need to move forward with other transit priorities like the Evergreen Line.” The publication, called Infrastructure 100, highlights the unique design of the Canada Line as it travels above and below ground, and includes the North Arm Bridge, North America’s first extra-dosed, double-cabled bridge. It also notes the project being completed ahead of schedule. Canada Line officially opened in August 2009, three-and-a-half months earlier than originally planned. “The Canada Line has integrated seamlessly with Metro Vancouver’s transit system, quickly demonstrating its effectiveness in attracting new ridership along a busy corridor and improving the efficiency of other transit modes,” said TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis. “It has been a success story on many accounts and has deserved the worldwide acclaim it has received.” An independent judging panel selected 100 projects based on scale, feasibility, complexity, innovation and impact on society.

  • Chapter Eight
    LEVERAGING INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION 87 CHAPTER EIGHT THE CANADA LINE RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT Roger Woodhead Technical Director, Canada Line Rapid Transit Project, Canada Abstract The Canada Line Rapid Transit Project being a Public Private Partnership largely under the control of one company, SNC Lavalin Inc., has provided an ideal environment for fostering innovation. This paper describes the project, discusses the organization and presents many examples of innovation. 1 Introduction Construction on Canada Line, a new 18.5 km rapid transit system that connects Downtown Vancouver with Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Richmond City Centre, started in late 2005. Full transit service will commence on or before November 2009, in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. The $2 billion project is a public-private partnership between various levels of government and InTransitBC, the private sector concessionaire. SNC Lavalin Inc. (SLI) under an EPC Contract with the Concessionaire is responsible for all design, procurement and construction. The alignment which is shown in Figure 1 travels from south to north from near Richmond Centre (Brighouse), along Number 3 Road to Bridgeport Station. From here the alignment splits in two. One segment travels westbound over the Middle Arm of the Fraser River and parallels Grant McConachie Way to a terminus at YVR 88 LEVERAGING INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION Airport Station. The second segment crosses over the North Arm of the Fraser River to the City of Vancouver. The alignment is elevated over Marine Drive and enters a tunnel portal at 63rd Avenue. The alignment then continues in a tunnel under the northbound lanes of Cambie Street until it reaches Olympic Village Station.
