No.1 Rd. & Moncton St. Functional Intersection Design

The No. 1 Road and Moncton Street intersection is a gateway to Steveston Village. The current all way stop controlled (AWSC) intersection frequently fails during peak periods due to significant vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist volumes and the resulting confusion of right-of-way for all users.

The City of Richmond retained Binnie & Associates Ltd. Binnie to develop and analyze options for improving the safety and efficiency of the intersection. Functional design of three adjacent raised intersections was also part of the project scope.

 Binnie was responsible for review background information, collection of traffic data, analysis of traffic data, safety review, problem and opportunity statement, development and analysis of alternative solutions, evaluation of options, functional design of the intersection and summarizing findings into a functional design report. The traffic analysis involved many different phasing scenarios including traditional two-phased signal, pedestrian priority (scramble) phase, lead-pedestrian phase, and double pedestrian priority (scramble) phase. Binnie also prepared 3D graphics and video of the existing and proposed intersection upgrades. The project was delivered on an expedited schedule. 

Key Personnel included:Scott Campbell, P.Eng, PMP - Project Manager, Mathew Slazyk, P.Eng - Assistant Project Manager, Edoardo Ballarin, P.Eng - Senior Transportation Engineer, Jonathan Ho, P.Eng - Traffic Engineer, Gary Shilling - Communications Manager.
