Additionally, he has been involved in the development of <br />design traffic forecasts for a number of major roadway projects. Mr. Penfield also serves as a <br />Development Review Committee (DRC) member for several South Florida municipalities.

Reviews <br />include traffic impact and trip generation analyses, traffic operations, site access/circulation, <br />stacking/queuing analysis, marking review, geo,metric considerations, and safety compliance. <br />Site plan reviews were also performed to ensure adequate traffic flow is maintained <br />in accordance with FDOT Access Management Guidelines to maintain integrity of the <br />transportation system. Most tasks required significant coordination with intergovernmental <br />agencies. <br /> <br />SPECIFIC TRAFFIC ACCESS MANAGEMENT STUDY, SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL: <br />A detailed traffic management plan was evaluated at three site specific locations within the <br />City of Sunny isles Beach. The feasibility of replacing the unsignalized intersection of 178th <br />Street and Atlantic Boulevard with a roundabout as well as using flexible bollards on 183rd <br />Street west of Collins Avenue and on I 78th west of Collins Avenue was evaluated. These <br />treatments are intended to improve overall traffic and pedestrian safety and operations, as <br />well as improve access management on local city streets. <br /> <br />Bus V-TURN lANE EVALUATION AT COLLINS AVENUE AND 193RD STREET, <br />SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL:A traffic safety review, a traffic operations assessment, and a <br />feasibility evaluation were conducted for the existing bus U-turn lane on Collins Avenue at <br />193rd Street. The site is unique as the bus U-turn lane is located in the far right lane of the <br />northbound approach of the intersection. Four alternate locations were evaluated as part <br />of the feasibility study to modify or relocate the current U-turn configuration, leading to a <br />recommendation to relocate the bus U-turn lane north to Hallandale Beach Boulevard. <br /> <br />-,/"~.I! ~j- <br /> <br />-,.. <br /> <br />PAGE 34 <br /> <br />RFP#11-11-02 <br />
