1 I t r� P, t CALVIN. GIORDANO € ASSOCIATES. INC. ENGINEERS SURVEYORS PLANNERS ERIC PENFIELD, P.E. Senior Transportation Engineer Mr. Penfield has over five (5) years of transportation engineering experience including microscopic simulation, operational analysis, traffic impact studies, corridor studies and capacity analyses. EDUCATION Masters of Science in Civil Engineering, 1997 Michigan State University Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, 1994 Michigan State University PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION Professional Engineer, State of Florida No. 56717 PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS Institute of Transportation Engineers, ASCE QUALIFICATIONS Mr. Penfield has five years of transportation engineering experience working for both public and private sector clients. His areas of expertise include microscopic simulation, operational analysis, traffic impact studies, corridor studies and capacity analysis. He has authored an article regarding the relationship between microscopic simulation and signalized intersection delay, which was presented at the Transpo 2000 Conference. Mr. Penfield currently provides transportation engineering - related services such as concurrency evaluations, parking studies, DRIB, and traffic signal warrant studies. Additional services to governmental agencies include travel demand forecasting, interchange operational analysis, corridor signal timings, conceptual design studies and review of traffic impact studies for proposed development. PROJECT EXPERIENCE: State Road A1A at Hillsboro Boulevard CRA Study, City of Deerfield Beach, Florida The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in the City of Deerfield Beach was formed to develop a long -range redevelopment plan for areas identified as not realizing their full economic potential. The CRA administers and implements this plan. As a result, this study focused on the transportation issues surrounding the redevelopment of the area near the intersection of SR -A1A and Hillsboro Boulevard. The unique geometry of the "S" curve located north of the intersection, along with the pedestrian nature of the area, precipitated realignment alternatives that were designed to improve vehicular safety and pedestrian safety. Future travel demand of the redevelopment area was determined to assist in the development of the re- alignment alternatives. Pedestrian and outdoor activity - friendly designs were favored to accentuate the local neighborhood flavor residents of the area desired. East Atlantic Avenue Corridor Retiming, City of Delray Beach Analyze and develop an optimal traffic signal retiming plan from the two -mile East Atlantic Corridor. The project involved evaluation of capturing unutilized time -of -day operations from the US -1 one -way pair in the downtown area, and applying that time to the East Atlantic Avenue Corridor. Blue Lake Development of Regional Impact Review, FDOT District Four, Fort Lauderdale, FL Provide transportation analysis in conformance with the South Florida Regional Planning Council, Guildelines for Developments of Regional Impacts, Chapter 380.06, Florida Statutes, Part IV Transportation Resource Impacts, Question 21 requirements for the City of Boca Raton DRI. The 557 -acre mixed use development includes a 600 -room hotel, 551,000 square feet of commercial use and 4,500,000 square feet of office /industrial use. Assessed the future operation and provided recommendations for the 1- 95Namato Road interchange using microscopic simulation. Palm Beach County Convention Center, West Palm Beach, Florida Evaluated the external and internal site access for both phases of the project. Performed a queuing analysis to ascertain the impacts on the local roadway network, as well as the circulation of the internal roadways. Eric Penfield, P.E.
