Project TENSOR aims to curb speeding and traffic-related noise issues

The Edmonton Police Service’s Traffic Services Branch will be putting rubber to the road this summer to address ongoing traffic issues including speeding and noise on city roadways. 

Beginning this week and running throughout the summer, EPS members will partner with the City of Edmonton’s Traffic Safety Section and Peace Officers on Project TENSOR, Traffic Enforcement Noise/Speed Offence Reduction.

Due to recent events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, EPS officers have seen less traffic on Edmonton roads, and an increase in excessive speeders and obnoxious noise.  This has precipitated a significant increase in traffic complaints to EPS and the city, says Sgt. Kerry Bates, of the EPS Traffic Safety Unit.

“As a police service, we’ve seen it and messaged the pubic repeatedly about ongoing incidents of excessive speeding and traffic noise pollution. We want citizens to know that we hear you, and we’re going to vigorously enforce these laws over the summer with the goal of ridding our streets of this emergent problem.”

“Traffic issues surrounding speeding and vehicle noise typically pick up when the warmer weather arrives, so that’s certainly not new. Some drivers, however, continue to use our roadways as speedways due to lower traffic volumes associated with the COVOD-19 pandemic. This is a coordinated effort, along with city Peace Officers, to address this problematic trend, and to send a strong message to those who continue to place other citizens at risk,” explained Sgt. Bates.

Project TENSOR will focus its resources on “hot spots” and other areas across the city including:

• 97 Avenue from James McDonald Bridge to 109 Street (Legislature Tunnel)
• 109 Street from 97 Avenue north to Jasper Avenue
• Jasper Avenue from 95 Street up to 116 Street
• Whyte Avenue, from 99 Street to 109 Street
• Groat Road
• River Valley Road from Groat Road to 105 Street
• 105 Street from River Valley Road to 100 Avenue
• The High Level Bridge

Project TENSOR will target most traffic offences including but not limited to:

• Speeding
• Noise Related Offences
• Stunting
• Helmet Violations
• General Equipment Violations
• Occupant Restraints
• Other Hazardous Moving Violations
• Suspended Drivers
• Document Offences and
• Criminal Code Offences (including file numbers)

As part of Project TENSOR, officers will also be hosting the first of several “Amnesty Testing Events” for motorcycle riders this Thursday, May 28^th, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the NAIT South Campus parking lot, 7110 Gateway Boulevard.

Motorcycle owners are invited to have their bikes tested to see if they comply with the noise bylaw. If they don’t comply, the owner will be required to update the bike’s exhaust to meet noise bylaw standards by a certain date, as determined by the officer. The EPS Traffic Safety Branch will announce additional Amnesty Testing Events throughout the summer.

Investigators attempt to piece together final hours of Terri Rowan’s life with release of video footage

Terri Ann Rowan was last seen walking away from a well-known transitional housing facility in downtown Edmonton on the evening of Aug. 6, 2019.

Nine days later, on Aug. 15, 2019, partial remains of the 33-year-old Edmonton woman’s body were discovered in an alley in the west-end neighbourhood of Sherwood.

Edmonton Police Service Homicide investigators are now releasing surveillance video (see below) of Rowan walking away from Dwayne’s House, 10209-100 Ave., on that summer evening Aug. 6^th with hopes that someone will be able to help them “uncover details regarding the final days of Terri’s life, says Det. Richard Windover, of the EPS Homicide Section.

“This surveillance video is the last known sighting of Terri,” says Windover, who has been working diligently on the case since the initial call came into EPS on Aug. 15, 2019. “We’re hoping someone out there has some information or knowledge of Terri’s whereabouts after that evening on Aug. 6^th. Our objective is to find out who is responsible for this heinous crime and bring them to justice.”

“We’re also intent on helping Terri’s family to find some peace by locating Terri’s remains, so that her family can lay her to rest with some dignity during a traditional indigenous burial.”

On August 15, 2019 the Edmonton Police Service responded to reports of human remains located in an alley in the area of 149 Street and 92 Avenue.  DNA was subsequently utilized to confirm that the partial remains were that of Terri Ann Rowan.  The Edmonton Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy and Terrie Rowan’s death was determined to be suspicious.

“I think about Terri everyday,” said Delphine Rowan, Terri’s mother. “I want to be able to give her a proper burial, but we can’t until the rest of her remains are recovered. I have many unanswered questions about my daughter’s untimely death, and not being able to lay Terri to rest really weighs heavily on me.”

Investigators are looking for the public’s assistance with this investigation and ask anyone with information about Terri Rowan’s death or who may have interacted with her around the time of her disappearance to contact EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone.

The youth was reportedly travelling eastbound across Castle Downs Road NW, at 162 Avenue, in a crosswalk when he was struck by a bus turning left onto Castle Downs Road NW. The 12-year-old was treated and transported to hospital by paramedics with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. 

The EPS Major Collision Investigation Section (MCIS) has since concluded their investigation into the incident. The male driver was issued a violation for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk under the Traffic Safety Act.

The 12-year-old has been discharged from hospital and continues to recover from his injuries.
