<br />FDOT D6, SR 826 PD&E/SIMR Study, Add Express Lanes, Miami-Dade County, FL | Project Manager - A Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for SR 826 (Palmetto Expressway) from US 1 (SR 5) to SR 836 (Dolphin Expressway), approximately seven (7) miles. The PD&E Study proposed corridor improvements that added highway and interchange capacity by implementing an express lanes system and interchange improvements. The PD&E Study evaluated the following potential types of improvements: Implementation of dynamically priced express lanes; Access and ramp connections to and from the express lanes (ingress and egress access points); Interchange improvements – Modifying existing entrance and exit ramps serving the interchanges within the project limits; Intersection improvements – Widening and turning lane modifications along the crossing roadways to facilitate the ramp modifications and improve the access and operation of the corridors upstream and downstream from the interchanges.
<br />FDOT D4, I-95 PD&E/SIMR Study, Interchange, and Intersection Improvements, Broward County, FL | Project Manager - Conducting a PD&E Study and Systems Interchange Modification Report (SIMR) for a section of Interstate 95 (I-95) from south of Hallandale Beach Boulevard (SR 858) to north of Hollywood Boulevard (SR 820), approximately three (3) miles. This study evaluates the potential modification of existing entrance and exit ramps serving the three interchanges within the project limits. Widening and turn lane modifications are also being assessed along Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Pembroke Road, and Hollywood Boulevard to facilitate the ramp modifications and improve the access and operation of the corridors upstream and downstream from the interchanges.
<br />FDOT D6, I-75 PD&E/SIMR Study, Add Express Lanes, Miami-Dade County, FL | Project Manager - The PD&E Study evaluates various improvements within the I-75 corridor in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. The improvements consist of the potential addition of reversible, managed, express, and auxiliary freeway lanes, new service interchanges, existing interchange improvements, and a new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route. These improvements were combined to constitute several alternative concepts for the I-75 corridor. These improvements were needed to address future vehicular growth projected in the area, enhance hurricane and other emergency evacuations, and improve system connectivity between I-75, SR 826, Gratigny Parkway (SR 924), Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike (HEFT/SR 821) and I-595.
<br />FDOT D4, I-95 PD&E Study, Add Express Lanes (Phase 3), Broward and Palm Beach Counties, FL | Project Manager - The PD&E Study was initiated as part of the planning process to evaluate the implementation of two tolled express lanes in each direction to alleviate the current traffic conditions, address mainline capacity issues, and implement interchange modification solutions to the Interstate 95 (I-95) corridor. The study limits were south of Commercial Boulevard in Broward County to south of Glades Road in Palm Beach County. Interchange improvements were identified during the I-595/ I-95 Master Plan Study and the need for express lanes in the I-95 Corridor Planning Study. The project was approximately 13.7 miles long. The study addressed existing and projected operating deficiencies along this section of I-95, including mainline capacity, interchange geometry, and ramp terminals. The study area exceeded the minimum standards of FDOT Level of Service (LOS). I-95 has a functional classification of urban principal arterial-interstate.
<br />FDOT D2 & D5, I-75 (SR 93) Corridor Planning Study, Feasibility Study, Sumter, Marion, Alachua, Columbia and Suwannee Counties FL | Project Manager - The feasibility study was to add corridor and interchange capacity. Evaluate express lanes, general-use lanes, and auxiliary lanes. The study focused on three areas: 1) D2 & D5 corridor typical section evaluation; 2) D2 & D5 Truck operations; and 3) 13 Interchange improvements in D2, which involved one system-to-system and 12 service interchanges.
<br />SR 934/NW 74th Street from SR 826/Palmetto Expressway to US 27/SR 25/Okeechobee Road Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Connector National Highway System (NHS) Connector Planning Study | Traffic Engineer - FDOT is conducting a conceptual design analysis for potential roadway improvements in the vicinity of the SR 934/NW 74th Street SIS and NHS Connectors to the FEC Railway Hialeah Rail Yard that will benefit the movement of freight and goods in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Direct coordination with the FEC regarding the railway and area freight operations formed an integral part of this study. Anticipated growth in truck traffic/freight movement in the area was incorporated into the future build analyses; the primary focus of the improvements was to facilitate truck traffic into and out of the FEC Rail Yard; maintaining or improving overall operational conditions in the study area was a secondary consideration. Recommendations included short-term and long-term improvements to roadways in the vicinity of the Connectors. The analysis includes planning level right-of-way impact analyses and cost estimates.
<br />FDOT D2, I-10/ US 301 Interchange PD&E/ IMR Study, 3 Mile Interchange Improvements, Duval County, FL | Project Manager/Traffic Engineer - Developed Turning Movement Counts, AADT and DDHV volumes. Analyzed the interchange using HCS, Synchro and SIMTraffic to evaluate the existing conditions and identify future interchange improvements. The analysis included two arterial intersections and two interstate ramp terminals. Conducted a Safety Study to determine high crash segments and spots and identify possible solutions to reduce crashes. As part of the project, conceptual layouts were developed to improve the traffic operations using traffic engineering techniques. During this project, the following traffic reports were developed: Design Traffic Memorandum, Traffic Analysis Technical Memorandum, and an IMR Interchange Proposal.
<br />SR 924 (Gratigny Parkway) West Extension Project Development & Environment Study | Deputy Project Manager - The objective of the study was to extend the SR 924 corridor from its current western terminus at SR 826 to the HEFT. This extension aimed to improve access and meet east-west mobility needs for commuters and freight traffic. This improvement would have alleviated existing and future local traffic congestion by providing improved access to the integrated expressway network of HEFT, SR 924, I-75, and SR 826. The current lack of access to the expressways in the area and the lack of direct connections within the expressway network had created congested traffic conditions throughout the study area.
