*All About Guidance #2: Using Guidance EffectivelyThursday, January
28 | 2-3pm CST*
Begin a new year in your professional life by taking a fresh look at the
topic of guidance. Two consecutive webinars invite practitioners to think
more broadly about the guidance documents they use and explore recent
developments in how guidance is applied.
On December 16, we asked which resources belong in the practitioner’s
library and considered ways to navigate effectively among different sources
of information. (See attached slides if you didn't attend on 12/16.)
In part 2, on January 28, the discussion segues to the specific application
of design flexibility: how agencies can select among treatments and designs
for specific conditions. Case studies from Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, and
Boston provide examples and offer insight into the process.
*Presenters*:
- Christine Fanchi, PE, PTP, City Livability Planner, City of Fort
Lauderdale, Florida
- Jessica Mortell, Project Engineer, Toole Design Group

City will hear from Times Square boss about opening Portage and Main
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/New-York-City-Manitoba-366495821.html
The buzz about reopening Portage and Main to pedestrian traffic is going to
get a lot louder in the coming weeks.
That’s because the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ will be hosting a number of events
on the topic, and it’s bringing in the New Yorker who was instrumental in
reopening Times Square to foot traffic.
Tim Tompkins, who has headed up the business improvement district of
perhaps the most famous part of New York City for more than a decade, said
transforming an area to accommodate pedestrians can certainly be done and
done successfully.
Stefano Grande, executive director of the Downtown BIZ, said Tompkins will
speak to city councillors, the chief planner and the chief administrative
officer about his experiences after he arrives in town on Feb. 4. The
Downtown and Exchange District BIZs will hold closed-door sessions with
area property owners and the public will be invited to sit in on panel
discussions with BIZ members.
Mayor Brian Bowman is perhaps the highest-profile champion of reopening
Portage and Main to foot traffic as it was one of the planks of his run for
mayor in late 2014.
"It can’t be ‘Run! All the best to you!’ " he said on the campaign trail.
"Let’s be innovative and let’s make it even more iconic than it is right
now."
Today, Bowman continues to work on this campaign commitment.
"I’d like to see it happen sooner than later," he said.
"I’ve heard from some of the property owners in the Portage and Main area
that there is increased focus on our plans to open up pedestrian traffic at
that intersection. We want to help support the landowners in that area.
"It’s ongoing. There has been talk at council already about some of the
efforts that we need to do in order to open it. There is nothing pending in
terms of the barriers being removed in the next week or month by any means."
In 2009, New York City’s Broadway Avenue, one of the roadways bordering
Times Square, was closed off to vehicle traffic and turned into a
pedestrian space, Tompkins explained in an interview with the Free Press.
But before the move became official, Tompkins and other proponents
addressed many concerns from local businesses who feared their revenue
would plummet and from commuters who were worried about getting to work and
back on time.
"There are often common processes and concerns when trying to balance how
to nurture economic activity and create great public and civic space in a
way that helps, rather than hurts, individual businesses," said Tompkins,
president of the Times Square Alliance, a BIZ-like not-for-profit
organization.
Winnipeg can learn a lot from the Times Square trailblazers, he said.
New York’s Broadway theatres are in Tompkins’ district and many customers
were worried that the drive to their favourite show would be adversely
affected while theatre owners were concerned about ticket revenue plunging.
After surveying as many stakeholders as possible and coming up with a
solution that was palatable to the vast majority, the transformation has
been a great success, he said.
"Three-quarters to four-fifths of business people feel very positive about
it. We wanted to take the concerns of the businesses very seriously but try
to address them in ways that didn’t make us give up on the bigger vision.
We got the facts about what was or wasn’t a threat," he said.
Improving the overall physical environment for pedestrians can make a huge
difference in attracting foot traffic and helping convince people to open
up their wallets.
"By creating a space where we could put tables and chairs so people could
enjoy a nice outdoor day, it really changed the atmosphere," he said.
The changes also included basics such as planters and food kiosks up to
small-scale arts and entertainment and even yoga classes.
"Because the environment was nicer, people spent more time in the plazas
and advertisers’ signs were seen more. The (economic) pie is getting
bigger."
The proof, however, would be in retailers’ tills — they were stuffed.
"That’s reflected in a bunch of different ways, including foot traffic and
the rent when there is turnover for business. Over time, the value of the
real estate has gone up because retail businesses have done better," he
said.
A generation of Winnipeggers have never seen people cross Portage and Main
above ground. With the construction of the Trizec building in the late
1970s, an underground connection was made to each of the intersection’s
four corners. In an effort to force people into the shops that lined the
concourse, a 40-year agreement was signed with the six adjacent property
owners that read, "The city agrees that it will not consent to any
construction of a pedestrian crossing over or under any street (at Portage
and Main)." Concrete barricades adorned with colourful flowers were
installed and the intersection was sealed off.
But it may be time for those barriers to come down.
"It’s very clear that direction is coming from city hall and the mayor’s
office that we want to start this conversation and get those barriers
down," Grande said. "We want to kick-start the conversation, look at best
practices from Times Square and how they engaged the stakeholders for a
redesign to create more of a pedestrian-friendly environment for people who
want to visit this incredible place (at Portage and Main). We think a
similar process could be used here. We could learn from them and have a
good conversation with our community and businesses and use this as a
springboard," Grande said.
Jenny Gerbasi, city councillor for Fort Rouge/East Fort Garry, has been
working on the bring-down-the-barriers file for years. She has spent much
of her time building public support and she’s optimistic things are moving
in the right direction.
"There’s a lot more political momentum now," she said.
Council recently endorsed a motion giving the administration direction to
take the specific steps that are needed to make it a reality, including a
detailed traffic study.
"We’ve also had legal advice over the last year that has given the city
confidence that there won’t be a problem if the public and political will
is there," she said.
Gerbasi said Winnipeggers need to take a more worldly view of Portage and
Main.
"We’re the exception. You don’t find a bunch of intersections that are
closed off to the public (in other cities). We have intersections that are
just as busy as this one. The view that we can’t possibly have people at
our signature intersection that everybody in the world knows about it
absurd," she said.
The city's deal with property owners of the corners of Portage and Main
expires in 2019 and while the property owners can renew it for a further 40
years, Gerbasi said the ultimate decision lies with council.
"If the city decides we want to open it up, we can do it. We want to do it
in a collaborative way. City council has the ultimate authority," she said.
Gerbasi said the sooner the barriers come down, the better.
"I¹d like to see it happen in time for the Canada Summer Games (in July
2017)," she said.

A new, and dangerous, kind of distracted driver
They hog lanes, ignore emergency vehicles, and treat their cars like multi-tasking way stations. That culture of entitlement makes drivers a new kind of menace.
Anne Kingston <http://www.macleans.ca/author/annekingston/>
January 21, 2016
Working in traffic enforcement for a quarter of a century has exposed RCMP Cpl. Chris Little to bad driving in all of its manifestations. Recently, though, he’s noticed a concerning, and deadly, trend: the self-preoccupied driver in a steel-and-glass bubble, oblivious to the outside world. The telltale texter (head down, stopped on a green light) is the least of it. Little, an officer with Strathcona Traffic Services in Strathcona, Alta., has pulled over drivers brushing their teeth, applying makeup, even reading a novel. “A 300-page book, balanced on the steering wheel,” he says. Car-as-mobile-kitchen is another theme: he pulled over one man eating a bowl of cereal while trying to drive with his knees; another man was eating waffles from a plate with a knife and fork. Then there was the solo female driver taking driver distraction to a new level: “A call came in that a vehicle was driving erratically,” Little says. When I pulled her over, her clothing was around her knees and she was flushed. You get the picture.” She was charged with careless driving.
It’s a roadscape familiar to Angelo DiCicco, general manager of Young Drivers of Canada (GTA). A driving instructor for three decades, DiCicco is also director of operations at Young Drivers’ new five-acre advanced driving centre in Markham, Ont., which offers rehab for drivers involved in serious crashes and also focuses on the perils of distracted driving, or, as DiCicco puts it, “to prove to people that multi-tasking is a lie.” People are far more stupid than they think, he says: “Just having your eyes open isn’t enough to see a dangerous situation; your brain has to be engaged.”
The fact that distracted driving <http://www.macleans.ca/politics/how-the-war-on-drunk-driving-distracts-from…> now accounts for more fatal car accidents than impaired driving hasn’t made a dent in driving habits, says DiCicco, who sees the rise of “assertive” and now “aggressive” driving over the past 15 years as equally narcissistic and dangerous. It’s not unusual for impatient drivers behind a nervous novice trying to turn left to pull ahead and cut the new driver off, he reports.
Such “me-first” behaviour—disregard for traffic signs, failing to signal, lane-hogging, crowding intersections, sailing through red lights—has led to a culture of driving entitlement squarely at odds with the spirit of co-operation needed to navigate the impromptu societies that occur when motor vehicles share space. That has made driving, the most dangerous and behaviourally complex activity most people engage in on a daily basis, a cultural menace that affects not only drivers but pedestrians and neighbourhoods as the spillover effects puts cyclists on sidewalks and pedestrians at peril.
Some solace for drivers can be taken from Transport Canada <http://www.macleans.ca/tag/transport-canada/> statistics that reveal a decrease in deaths from automobile accidents over the past decade, in good part due to improvements in car design that reduce the impact of rear-end collisions. But it has never been a more dangerous time to be a pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist; for them, deaths from automotive collision have risen in the same period. Even standing on the sidewalk isn’t safe; last year, four people were taken to hospital when a car plowed into a bus station in a Toronto suburb.
Aggressive, thoughtless driving is not new, says psychologist Leon James, a pioneer in the field of “driver psychology.” References to “road rage” date to ancient Rome, which had a law against “furious driving,” the University of Hawaii professor says. Comparison between North American driving habits and an empire in decline are appropriate. As James sees it, the rise of a selfish roadway culture is not only dangerous but culturally corrosive: “It’s anti-social, even immoral to expose others to risk.”
The evidence is plentiful. Consider Sheryl Sandberg <http://www.macleans.ca/society/life/sheryl-sandbergs-cosmic-lean-in-moment/> ’s widely circulated Facebook post written last year after her husband died of a heart attack; the Facebook COO recounts the “unbearably slow” trip to the hospital in an ambulance because drivers refused to get out of the way. She implored drivers to do what is both legally and morally required: yield way to emergency vehicles. Cars blocking emergency vehicles is a huge problem on Canadian roads as well, says Little. “And it’s getting worse.”
No tale illustrates the spirit of driver entitlement better than that of Jourdan Bancroft, a 25-year-old woman pulled over at 8:20 p.m. on an Ontario highway last July for driving 150 km/h in an 80 km/h zone; she was charged with road racing. Her explanation for putting her life and others at risk? She told the arresting officer she wanted to get to her cottage to “see the sunset.” The story elicited outrage. But in a small way, every driver could relate.
How we behave on roads is culturally determined, says James—a confluence of technology, economics, sociology and psychology. A major factor is car design <http://www.macleans.ca/society/technology/these-cars-drive-themselves-excep…> itself, specifically “improvements,” even at the low end, that make cars feel like safe, screen-filled, multi-tasking way stations, a place to text, chat on the phone, eat, even be entertained; in late December, Ontario Provincial Police stopped a man driving over 160 km/h on Highway 401 near Brockville, Ont., watching a movie on a screen taped to his dashboard. He was charged with distracted driving and stunt driving.
One telling casuality is the stick shift, a driving feature requiring hands-on focus. Only nine per cent of cars sold in Canada have manual transmissions, down from 35 per cent in 1980, according to IHS Automotive. Only 3.6 per cent of new car buyers in Canada request it. The new logic is laid out in a much-circulated 2013 video, an audition for a Canadian reality TV show, featuring a candid Dawn Muzzo: “I had a six-speed Porsche but I couldn’t wear my heels, have a cigarette, and drink my coffee whilst shifting,” she says. “So it had to be traded in for an automatic.” (Our ability to drive and multi-task is less than we think, according to a 2015 AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety report that found a phone conversation via hands-free or Bluetooth, which is legal, is mentally demanding and associated with moderate to high levels of cognitive distraction.)
No vehicle better symbolizes the altered road dynamics than the SUV; the behemoths’ popularity has given rise to an “if-you-can’t-beat-them-join-them” mentality. Even James, whose research in the early 2000s found female SUV drivers far more aggressive that male SUV drivers, drives one. His wife convinced him, he says. “Women drive them because they feel safer, protected,” he says. “They’re higher up.”
But research also reveals that the aura of safety and impenetrability created by driving an SUV or light truck can foster what Reuben Aitchison of the Australian Automobile Manufacturing Industry calls an “illusion of superiority . . . that leads them to believe they should be getting somewhere faster than everybody else.” That can lead the SUV driver to take risks that the Smart car driver does not.
The fact almost two-thirds of SUV drivers are women aged 25 to 49 and men aged 50 or older has reframed the stereotype of road menace: it’s not the male teenager in a souped-up muscle car that poses risk, but the middle-aged woman in a black SUV. Last October, four-year-old Arisa Ahmed was killed and her seven-year old sister seriously injured while crossing the street in front of their school in Markham, Ont., as their mother watched; they were struck by a black Mercedes SUV driven by a 39-year-old woman, who was later charged with dangerous operation <http://www.macleans.ca/society/traffic-signs-with-a-heart-ask-you-to-stop-i…> of a motor vehicle causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing injury.
Perceived time crunch has added to road stress. DiCicco routinely hears stories from people who have had licences pulled or were involved in serious crashes. “Women say, “I had to pick up the kids; daycare charges by the minute,’ ” he says. Men are more likely to be ferrying kids from school to practice with dinner at a drive-through in between. Soaring housing prices have also fed frustration, says DiCicco, by pushing many buyers outside of city cores, which increases commute times.
DiCicco sees three distinct driver personalities: the “adult”’ who understands that everyone wants to get home and that one crash could mean hundreds of people are late; the “child” (unrelated to actual age), subject to peer pressure who engages in “my car is faster than your car” behaviour without thinking through consequences; and the “domineering parent” who wants to teach someone a lesson by tailgaiting, giving the finger or blocking a car trying to pass on a shoulder. “There are very few homicidal maniacs out to kill you. And very few people are suicidal in the car,” he says. “To be involved in a crash you have to not do a lot of things.”
He wants drivers to learn what he calls “traffic emotions management” and to see “good driving” redefined: “It isn’t just vehicle dynamics—lane change, parking, motor skills. It’s mastering the psychology of driving, of realizing more drivers are taking up a finite amount of space and you need to look out for your neighbour and keep space for the other driver who makes a mistake; then you can graciously allow them the space in front of you or move up quickly so they don’t rear-end you.” James agrees. “Being a good driver isn’t just, ‘How many accidents did you cause?’ ” he says. “It should be: ‘How many people have you blown off? How many people have you insulted?’ That should be the measure.”
Without a seismic change in driver attitudes, the situation will only worsen, says James: “Every generation is going to be more aggressive, more competitive and more selfish, taking risks and putting people at risk.”
Rising awareness of distracted-driving risks has led to an increase in penalties, which vary wildly across Canada—from $115-$145 in Quebec to $300 to $1,000 in Ontario <http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/ontario-increases-penalties-for-drivers-…> . (Nunavut is the only region with no distracted driving penalty). This year, Alberta raised its fine to $250 plus three demerit points. Those enforcing the law say it’s not enough to act as a deterrent and that courts fail to recognize the severity of the crime. The woman charged with “road racing” 70 km over the speed limit to “see the sunset,” for example, received a reduced charge of “speeding”; she paid $812.50 and got six demerit points.
“We’re fighting a losing battle,” says Little, who believes Canada doesn’t take driving offences seriously. “We understand first-degree murder and gang violence. But driving infractions? We’re too warm and fuzzy. We can’t suspend a licence for life. People think driving is a right, but it’s a privilege.”
The call to attach the same stigma now associated with impaired driving to distracted or entitled driving is gaining traction. Pioneering activists exist, including the family of Josh Field, a 17-year-old driver killed in London, Ont., in 2009 when he took his eyes off the road to answer his phone. The Field family recently teamed with #DriveToStayAlive, an initiative launched by 17-year-old professional racecar driver Parker Thompson to teach high school students about the life-changing consequences of texting or talking on a cellphone while driving. “It’s far easier to teach youth,” says Sgt. Wade Davidson, who works in traffic services for the Lethbridge police force. “The group hard to reach is adult drivers who have been doing things the same way for years; they set the example for their kids.”
Frustrations are also evident on a rash of driver-shaming websites and YouTube “Bad Driver” channels, which has created a market for dashcams not only to record bad drivers but damage to a vehicle in a hit-and-run when it’s parked. Their presence has a self-monitoring effect, says Alex Jang, the Vancouver-based founder of dashcam company BlackboxMyCar. “Studies show drivers with dashcams drive more responsibly because they know they’re being filmed.”
Reminders of roadside perils are now entrenched in urban landscapes, with poignant “ghost bike” memorials for cyclists as well as the “Slow Down, Kids at Play” signage organized in 2014 by residents of a Toronto neighbourhood after the death of seven-year-old Georgia Walsh, killed by a van rolling through a red light. Some 15,000 signs have been distributed from Victoria to Charlottetown, says organizer Meghan Sherwin: “Interest tends to be spurred by a recent child pedestrian death and/or frustration with the lack of traffic-calming measures.”
In a telling detail, many of the streets boasting the signs already have traffic-calming bumps. Also telling is the sentencing in the case. The driver, who pleaded guilty to careless driving, received a two-year driving prohibition, a $2,000 fine and 200 hours of community service. The judge explained he didn’t give jail time after seeing the depth of the man’s remorse, his reported psychological trauma and the forgiveness of the victim’s family. “This was an avoidable accident but an accident nevertheless,” he said. “His inattention was momentary.” Yet in that momentary inattention, a young life was gone.

Deane named director of public works
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/Deane-named-director-of-public-works…
City hall chose one of its own to head up the public works department.
Lester Deane takes over as director of public works, replacing Brad Sacher
who unexpectedly resigned in September 2015 after holding the position
since 2009.
Deane has 30 years’ experience in engineering and joined the city’s public
works department in 2003. He had been manager of engineering when he was
tapped to assume the acting director position following Sacher’s departure.
Coun. Janice Lukes, chairwoman of the public works committee, made the
announcement during Wednesday’s executive policy committee.
"I’m very pleased to be working with (Deane)," Lukes (South Winnipeg-St.
Norbert) said. "Going forward he’s going to be doing great things in the
role as director."
Before joining the city, Deane worked with the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and later with Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation.
Deane is the fourth senior personnel appointment to occur at city hall
since Brian Bowman was elected mayor in October 2014.
*March 2015*, Doug McNeil was hired away from the province, where he was
the deputy minister of infrastructure and transportation. The CAO’s
position had been held by senior staff on an interim basis since October
2013 when Phil Sheegl left the job amidst council concern over scandals
involving several high-profile projects. COO Deepak Joshi was initially
given the post of acting CAO but he was suspended by Bowman in January 2014
and retired the following month. COO Michael Jack was then acting CAO until
McNeil’s arrival.
*September 2015*, John Kiernan, promoted to director of planning, property
and development. Kiernan has been with the city since 1990, starting in the
parks department as a strategic planner and project manager. He had been
the manager of urban design since 2010. Kiernan replaced Barry Thorgrimson,
who retired in December 2014.
*November 2015*, Felicia Wiltshire was hired to fill the newly created post
of director of corporate communications. Prior to Wiltshire’s hiring, the
head of corporate communications was a manager, Steve West, who in July
2015 was re-assigned to the newly created post of manager of strategic
initiatives in the corporate support services department. Wiltshire has an
extensive background in communications. Prior to joining the city,
Wiltshire had been with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority as a senior
communications and government relations specialist.

Begin a new year in your professional life by taking a fresh look at the
topic of guidance. Two consecutive webinars invite practitioners to think
more broadly about the guidance documents they use and explore recent
developments in how guidance is applied.
On December 16, we asked which resources belong in the practitioner’s
library and considered ways to navigate effectively among different sources
of information. (See attached slides if you didn't attend on 12/16.)
In part 2, on January 28, the discussion segues to the specific application
of design flexibility: how agencies can select among treatments and designs
for specific conditions. Case studies from Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, and
Boston provide examples and offer insight into the process.

This is a pretty neat searchable resource on existing active transportation
policies in Canada. Interesting to see valuable resources coming from a
field heretofore not normally directly responsible for transportation -
primary prevention and population level health.
