One of the biggest challenges facing Calgary as it grows, is the way the mix of people, bicycles, cars, and transit move around the city.

Safer Calgary is launching a project to analyze the flow of Calgary transportation and Barry Davidson with the project tells 660News, the initiative is in conjunction with 40 students from the NHT University in the Netherlands.

“We brought a traffic engineering professor over from NHT University in the Netherlands to come and meet with our transportation people, and the experience was positive enough and there was enough interest out of City of Calgary transportation as well as the communities to expand it.”

Safer Calgary is a network of Calgary area organizations working to understand the sources of harm in urban environments and finding ways to improve.

Davidson says some the issues Calgary faces are obvious.

“We know that we have bottle-necks and traffic issues everywhere, whether you’re in the car on Deerfoot or whether you’re trying to get transit to get somewhere. What we’re looking at is, what are something of the solutions that are probably culture changing, but that aren’t a slap in the face to different demographics of citizens in our city.”
