Chancellor Boulevard and East Mall Intersection : Detailed Design

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

The intersection at Chancellor Boulevard and East Mall is currently facing several challenges and requires a complete redesign. The University of British Columbia (UBC) Campus and Community Planning group has commissioned Westcoast Consulting Group Inc. to prepare detailed design plans for the intersection redevelopment. The chosen design addresses the anticipated future demands of the intersection, creates a safe and efficient traffic flow, accommodates alternative modes of transportation, and follows UBC’s sustainable vision, all while creating a welcoming gateway to the UBC campus. Technical aspects of the design focused on were: Roadway Geometry, Wastewater Management, Construction Management, Structural design, and geotechnical design The new intersection is a traffic circle with a two-lane entry and one-lane exiting system. Included in this report is a number of drawings detailing the geometry of the intersection. A welcome sign and structural arch have been incorporated into the design to address the aesthetic requirements. Based off Qualhymo Water Balance Model outputs, a comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan has been assembled to accommodate a potential flooding events. Additionally, an extensive Construction Management Plan has been developed to minimize traffic impacts, time of construction, and any social or environmental impacts on the adjoining private neighbourhood. The project is estimated to cost $4.7 million and is scheduled for a 6-month permitting phase followed by a 4-month construction phase.
