Hi,
I thought I'd pass along what looks to be an interesting webinar that will delve into traffic signals with a focus on making them serve people on foot and bike better. I know we're looking at ways to improve things at a lot of intersections right now (Logan @ Arlington, Chevrier at Pembina, Assiniboine @ Main, ...), so I think that its a timely topic for Winnipeg.
I've had the pleasure of taking a course or two with Peter Koonce and found him to be an excellent and informative speaker, so I'm looking forward to this one.
Cheers, Mark Cohoe Bike Winnipeg Making Signals Work for Bicyclists and Pedestrians* October 18, 2017*, 1:00 to 2:30 PM Eastern Time

To create transportation networks that are supportive of bicycling and walking, transportation professionals should make use of existing infrastructure. This includes traffic signals and engineering treatments at intersections that can take advantage of a wide range of strategies to improve crossings.
This webinar will focus on how agencies can use their traffic signals to make intersections safer and more comfortable for nonmotorized road users. Peter Koonce, PE, of Portland, Oregon, will share tips and strategies for improving intersections through signal timing, cycle lengths, speed management, protected phasing, and more. If you can't watch the webinar live, it will be recorded and made available shortly after October 18th.
The presentation will be followed by a facilitated discussion period featuring questions submitted by webinar attendees. Panelists
