<br />RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
<br />
<br />GENERAL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES, SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL: Mr.
<br />Penfield, acting as the Project Manager for Traffic Engineering, conducted intersection and
<br />corridor safety studies, and queuing analyses, as part of the site plan approval process. 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.
