South Post Road /Saddle Club Road Roundabout Feasibility and Design, Weston, Florida. Performed roundabout operational analysis and feasibility study for the provision of a full -size roundabout at the Weston Regional Park entrance. Concept gained support in lieu of a previously approved traffic signal due to concerns of speeding and safety: City Staff felt free -flow speeds during the green phase of a traffic signal would increase speeds. Designed roundabout in accordance with FHWA, AASHTO, and FDOT guidelines and accommodated all vehicle categories, including fire - rescue. Reduction of the westbound approach from two to one lane in conjunction with "textured -paver approach bands" reduced existing high vehicle speeds, and created a "traffic - calmed effect" at the park entrance. To accommodate periodic dense exit traffic, designed outbound approach with a free -flow, right -turn bypass lane to facilitate outbound flow. Landscape improvements, architectural elements, and special lighting provide a visually impressive as well as highly functional project. Proposed Johnson Street Access Justification Analysis, Memorial Healthcare Systems, Broward County, Florida. Performed data collection and traffic impact analysis to demonstrate traffic conditions with and without a controversial third access point from the hospital campus onto Johnson Street. Utilized traffic count data and future traffic projections (based on Master Plan traffic forecasts) to develop traffic turning movements for several configurations of the proposed access point. Based on isolating arriving /departing trip volumes to /from the hospital perimeter, re- directed traffic was estimated at the new opening, showing resulting traffic volumes on Johnson Street east and west of the access point. Analysis demonstrated the vast majority of hospital - related traffic that would use the new access point was already traveling on Johnson Street at that location. Memorial Hospital West Master Plan Traffic Impact Analysis, Memorial Healthcare Systems. Provided a needs assessment of long -term transportation and parking infrastructure required for full hospital buildout in accordance with the development Master Plan. Analysis included parking, access, circulation, on - /off- site traffic operations evaluations to develop intersection geometrics and parking structure needs concurrent with phased development. • Weston Road /Arvida Parkway Interim Signal Retiming, Weston, Florida. Performed data collection and computerized signal timing analysis to improve operations at this major over - capacity intersection. Failed vehicle detection (inductive loops) was first identified in the field that was quickly replaced by microwave detection. After • microwave detection was installed, revised initial timing parameters were loaded in the field. Following field observations, a revised set of max green time parameters were implemented for peak hour and remaining all -day conditions. Field adjustments were performed until satisfactory operations were established for all intersection • approaches. 0 Memorial West Medical Office Building Expansion and Parking Garage Traffic Study, Memorial • Healthcare Systems. Performed traffic operations analysis and parking demand analysis to design on -site intersection improvements and properly size the proposed multi -story parking garage facility. Study resulted in intersection capacity recommendations and proposed speed ramp from parking lot's upper floors to • accommodate newly created traffic demand and changes to existing campus traffic patterns due to the new facilities. • Broward County Build -out Model, FDOT District IV, Florida. Served as project manager for a multi -task project to develop zonal data and transportation network files for the FSUTMS model representing countywide build -out of the Broward Urban Area. Land use tasks included identifying committed but unbuilt development • projects, evaluating build -out potential within urban redevelopment areas, evaluating existing and proposed non - buildable conservation areas, land use plan and zoning considerations, DRI, special generators, schools, TAZ restructuring, and land use trends /quality control checks. Model network tasks include QC checking of Year • 2020 Cost - Feasible network and network modifications to convert 2020 network to represent the Broward Trafficways Plan. Model will assist the Broward County Planning Council and other end users with regulatory decisions regarding amendments to the Trafficways Plan.
