Behar, PE <br />Principal in Charge <br />Paola Riveros, PE <br />Project Engineer <br />Angel Marinez <br />Designer <br />Xamarah Seda <br />Designer <br />R.J. Behar & Company, Inc. (RJ Behar) was contracted by the Town of <br />Medley to provide a planning report for NW 116th Street from NW 116th <br />Way to South River Drive. The scope of work included analysis of <br />existing conditions, field visits, evaluation of alternatives with costs and <br />preparation of a report. <br />The Planning and Conceptual Engineering (PACE) Study was prepared <br />to identify the infrastructure needs within the project area as they relate <br />to automobile, pedestrian, bicycle mobility, and drainage. Upon <br />identifying the project area improvements proposed, the report served as <br />a guide for development of construction documents for the proposed <br />improvements to be used during the design and permitting phase of the <br />project. <br />The proposed roadway improvements and road reconstruction, along <br />NW 106th Street, consisted of widening to attain three 12-foot-wide lanes <br />(one of which will be a two-way turn lane) and Type F curb and gutter. <br />Improvements included the addition of a 6-foot wide sidewalk along the <br />north side of NW 106th Terrace and south side of NW 106th Street to <br />provide pedestrian connectivity, as well as 4-foot wide green bicycle lane <br />on both directions for the entire length of the project. Two alternatives <br />(A and B) were developed for the project. Both alternatives included <br />reverse curves connecting NW 106th Terrace and NW 106th Street, which <br />will make the transition between corridors, geometrically smoother than <br />the existing conditions. <br />The Russian Colony Canal is proposed for relocation, on average, 40 <br />feet north to accommodate the proposed roadway improvements. <br />Furthermore, a new drainage system will be provided for the entire <br />length of the project. <br />Section F - Page | 6
