Development Access - Approve it - Safely

Technical Development Course

Are you responsible for Planning and design of access,
or traffic operations in your area?
Do you have concerns with traffic accessing developments?
Do you need to upgrade your knowledge of how to assess
and manage the traffic impacts of new or expanded developments

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then this course will help you and your staff develop access plans for safe and efficient access, and make logical decisions about access, parking and off site road improvements that will minimize the development's traffic impact on your road system, yet allow desirable developments to proceed. In the photograph above the development on the right has a sidewalk, consolidated access, landscaping and an auxiliary lane. The older developments on the left have multiple individual driveways, no sidewalk, no landscaping and no auxiliary lane. Find out how to achieve the better solution for your Municipality.

The course has been developed for the British Columbia situation and reflects local concerns and government policy. The course is based on established principles of access management and impact analysis. It was originally developed for the Ministry of Transportation but also addresses Municipal concerns.

Who Should Attend? The course is intended as an upgrading course for technical staff who have been involved with the review of Development Approvals for six months or more. Others will benefit from it if they have an appropriate technical background and are willing to devote additional time to review technical issues.

The course will be scheduled as required:
