The City of Calgary initiated a study to develop 2 products: o a policy outlining guidelines and principles for the selection of dangerous goods routes; and an evaluation tool to be used in assessing dangerous goods routes A literature review was undertaken that included investigation of the practices of other jurisdictions. The salient point from this investigation was that there was no quantitative or explicit/repeatable procedure in place to conduct a review of dangerous goods routes. Nor was there policy in place to guide City Administration on how dangerous goods routes are to be reviewed and evaluated. Based in part upon the literature review and the practices of the surveyed jurisdictions, the stakeholder group developed a list of evaluation criteria that considered: risk management, social implications, environmental impact, and economic considerations in determining whether routes should be designated as dangerous goods routes.
