ALVARO SAENZ SHEEN, PE, PTOE, RSP1
<br />TRAFFIC ENGINEER
<br />PROFILE
<br />Mr. Saenz Sheen has been involved in various planning, studies, and data collection projects.
<br />He is experienced in conducting various types of traffic studies including traffic counts, vehicle
<br />classifications, turning movement studies, speed studies, safety studies, travel time and delay
<br />studies, traffic signal optimization, traffic calming studies, parking studies, vehicle gap studies,
<br />and roadway characteristics inventory.
<br />KEY PROJECTS
<br />Pedestrian Crosswalk Upgrade and Relocation Traffic Evaluation (Miami-Dade County)
<br />(2025) | As part of this traffic study, I was responsible to assess existing traffic and roadway
<br />conditions. I analyzed and evaluated existing vehicular volume, crash data, pedestrian and
<br />bicycle volumes within the study area. I evaluated the feasibility of implement a pedestrian
<br />crossing at the uncontrolled approaches along Miller Drive/SW 56th Street at SW 63rd Avenue.
<br />Finally, assisted in determining recommendations that included the installation of a marked
<br />pedestrian crossing with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) at the uncontrolled
<br />approaches on the intersection of Miller Drive/SW 56th Street and SW 63rd Avenue; Contact:
<br />Ignacio Serralta, (305) 662-8887, ignacio@srs-corp.com.
<br />FDOT D6 | SR-922/NE 125th Street from NE 8th Avenue to NE 14th Avenue Rd Signal
<br />Retiming (2025) | As part of a contract with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT),
<br />I was assigned with the signal optimization of the SR-922/NE 125th Street corridor from NE 8th
<br />Avenue to NE 14th Avenue Rd within Miami-Dade County boundaries. I conducted field reviews
<br />to assess existing traffic conditions and operations to identify deficiencies and opportunities to
<br />improve traffic conditions during the AM and PM peak period. I evaluated red, yellow clearance
<br />intervals, and pedestrian clearance time to ensure adequate time was provided. Signal offsets
<br />and time of day (TOD) schedules were evaluated to find any issues that could negatively affect
<br />progression along the studied corridors. I provided recommendations for optimizing signal
<br />cycles, offsets, and TODs to improve signal timing progression within the studied corridor.
<br />Recommendations were based on traffic simulations using WaySync software, travel time data,
<br />and field observations; Contact: Erik Echezabal, (786) 250-5526,

<br />Holland Park/The HueHub Traffic Impact Analysis, (Miami-Dade County) (2025) |In this
<br />traffic study, I assessed existing traffic conditions and operations at crucial intersections and
<br />segments impacted by this proposed mixed-use residential and commercial development
<br />located at 8395 NW 27th Avenue. This development was approved under Florida’s Live Local
<br />Act. I analyzed and evaluated traffic growth factors, trip generation, traffic distribution and
<br />assignment, nearby committed developments, and existing turning movements counts. I
<br />provided analysis and evaluation of existing and proposed traffic operations using synchro 11.0
<br />software. I conducted a turn lane analysis at the proposed development driveways and nearby
<br />studied intersections to determine if implementation of turn lanes was required in order to
<br />mitigate traffic impacts. I conducted an Intersection Control Evaluation following FDOT
<br />guidelines and procedure. Finally, I provided conclusions and recommendations based on the
<br />findings of evaluations mentioned above. Contact: Hermes Russo, (786) 599-4113,

<br />Pedestrian Crosswalk Upgrade and Relocation Traffic Evaluation (Miami-Dade County)
<br />(2024) |Miami-Dade County has requested CALTRAN Engineering Group, Inc. (CALTRAN) to
<br />conduct an assessment of the current pedestrian midblock crosswalk situated along S.
<br />Bayshore Drive, just northeast of McFarlane Road that is being proposed to be upgraded. As
<br />part of this traffic evaluation, I assessed existing traffic and roadway conditions. I analyzed and
<br />evaluated existing vehicular volume, crash data, vehicular/pedestrian conflicting movements,
