ITE Canada has hosted three successful training programs so far in 2026, with more still to come! Two workshops on<\/span> Geometric Design: Fundamentals and Emerging Practices in Urban Street Design<\/b><\/a> took place in February and June, which covered emerging topics such as low-speed streets, self-enforcing streets, multimodal roundabouts, and protected intersections for urban contexts.
