description: Our team has been retained by UBC Social Economic Development Studies (UBC SEEDS) to redesign East Mall between Stadium Road and Agronomy Road in attempt to better accommodate sustainable transportation modes. The corridor’s current conditions do not accommodate the high amount of pick-up/dropoff traffic during the evenings, and do not promote sustainable modes of transportation. This report will provide and in-depth review for the detailed design of the transportation, structural, municipal, and environmental disciplines. Our recommended concept involves shifting the existing median East to separate vehicle travel lanes and bike lanes, reconfiguring the intersection of Thunderbird Boulevard and East Mall and upgrading the existing signal, and widening the segment from Thunderbird Boulevard to Agronomy Road to accommodate a new bi-directional bike lane. This design will improve the safety of cyclists, provide an abundance of green space for pedestrians, and reduce conflicts between vehicles and cyclists at drop-off pick-up zones while retaining parking for residents and users of the nearby facilities. An assessment of the existing utilities was conducted to identify impacts on the existing utility networks. The proposed reconfiguration is not expected to affect the system demands the water distribution and sanitary sewer systems. A stormwater management strategy has been developed on site, and the final corridor reduces the captured stormwater volumes within the project area. Specifications for the new permeable concrete cycling lanes and sidewalks have been developed, including an aggregate reservoir base to detain major storm flows for natural infiltration into the subgrade. The new pedestrian canopy consists of W200x31 section profiles for the columns and cantilevers with tempered glass panels mounted as the decking. The structure is 66.86-metres in length and will be constructed along the South side of Agronomy Road. The greenspace consists of the plantation of …
