� Associates, Oakhill Neighborhood Traffic Intrusion and Neighborhood Traffic Management Study, Davie, Florida. Performed a comprehensive traffic evaluation for the Oakhill residential neighborhood. Study evaluated vehicular speed, volume, and cut - through traffic patterns for traffic calming or other traffic management measures. The Town also requested traffic calming recommendations that would reflect the area's equestrian lifestyle. Recommended isolating the internal streets from cut - through traffic through street closure, diverter or semi- diverter treatments, and addressed the collector roadways by implementing a modified configuration to include narrowed travel lanes, curbed median with ground cover, bike lanes and /or equestrian trails with edge treatment to give the psychological feeling of a restricted roadside. Recommendations were extremely well received by residents and the plan is being implemented. 0 ArvidaParkway/I -75 Traffic Study and Interchange Operations Analysis Report (IOAR), Weston, • Florida. The southbound exit ramp from 1 -75 to westbound Arvida Parkway is a free -flow ramp experiencing ex- cessive delay during peak hours. Further, a unique weaving situation developed due to lane geometry and alignment coupled with explosive population growth downstream of the ramp junction. Evaluated alternatives to • cost - effectively solve ramp's operational problem as well as downstream bottlenecking. Phase I identified ways • to minimize weaving and delay while Phase 11 will monitor and address potential problems at the ramp junction with 1 -75. • Parking and Traffic Study, Lantana, Florida. Recent redevelopment inquiries spurred the Town to analyze existing and future parking supply /demand, as well as the efficiency of traffic flow within the downtown area, • which spans from the Intracoastal Waterway to Broadway Avenue and includes US 1 and Lantana Road. Study was based on the Town's Visioning Process that included mixed -use development along Ocean Avenue. Identified parking supply deficiencies and recommended alternative mode transportation strategies to minimize • traffic impacts associated with future redevelopment, particularly along the Ocean Avenue corridor where land- scaped islands and other aesthetic improvements restricted traditional capacity improvements. MacArthur Boulevard /SR -A1 A Roundabout Justification Study, Martin County, Florida. A traffic operations study determined the appropriate future traffic control for the intersection of MacArthur Boulevard and SR -A1 A. The intersection was controlled by a traffic signal but the Justification Study indicated that future opera- tions would be best served by a roundabout rather than a stop - controlled condition or the current signalization • method. • Hurricane Evacuation Study, Marathon, Florida. Recent analysis indicated that in the event of a Category 3 or greater hurricane, the Florida Keys would require more than 26 hours to completely evacuate, exceeding the State - mandated 24 -hour maximum. As a result, the City commissioned CGA to identify measures to reduce • clearance times for the City's residents. Determined that the City's transient population and evacuees towing boats or driving large vehicles /motor homes were good candidates for early evacuation. The premise was to provide a head start to remove slow- moving vehicles from the general traffic stream. This would improve • clearance times for the City and County. Analysis indicated that this method could save as much as one hour in total clearance time to evacuate the entire population of the Florida Keys. • SR -A1 A/Hillsboro Boulevard Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Study, Deerfield Beach, Florida. The CRA was formed to create a long -range redevelopment plan for areas identified as not realizing their full economic potential. Study focused on transportation issues surrounding the redevelopment near the • intersection of SR -A1A /Hillsboro Boulevard. The unique geometry of the "S" curve located north of the intersection, along with the high pedestrian use, precipitated realignment alternatives to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety. "Group 1 - 1999" Traffic Signal Installations (Design and Construction), Weston, Florida. Performed traffic signal warrant studies, produced traffic signal construction plans, and prepared construction specifications • and bid documents for installation of four mast -arm traffic signals serving the Weston Park of Commerce. Construction plans reflected FDOT and Broward County Traffic Engineering standards for a special mast - arm /luminaire combination specifically developed by Arvida Corporation. Construction plans incorporated video • vehicle detection, internally illuminated street signs, upgraded ADA- compliant sidewalk connections, and brick - paver crosswalk installations.
