The Pershing Bikeway is a 2.3 mile path that connects North Park to Downtown San Diego. The project aimed to enhance access, comfortability, and convenience for people who bike, walk, or roll between Balboa Park. It features a separated two-way bike lane, buffers from vehicle traffic, a neighborhood traffic circle, and a separated walking patch…
LCI prepared traffic signal, signing/striping and traffic control plans for the design and construction of the new Fire Station 2 in the City of Carlsbad. The traffic signal design included modifying the existing traffic signal for the proposed design of the fire station. The design plans also included a signing/striping plan that was required due…
The Ocean Boulevard Improvement Project fulfilled the City of Coronado’s vision of enhancing the pedestrian experience along this oceanfront corridor from the Hotel Del Coronado to the North Island Naval Base. Prior to the project, the walkway was as narrow as five feet in some locations, with street furniture and a rock revetment encroaching into the…
The project is in west Chula Vista and consists of 113 signalized intersections. The project objective under the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is to enhance safety at signalized intersections by improving signal timing operations. The project aims to optimize coordination between signals, update red and yellow times, and pedestrian clearance intervals. LCI prepared…
The 13th Street and F Street project is a mixed use residential property with both residential and commercial units. The total height of the building is 8 stories, which required to propose covered walkways for pedestrian traffic. The project construction will include a mobile crane and man lift located on the sidewalk during construction. The…
LIN Consulting provided traffic engineering services for the City of La Mesa’s Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program at various locations, including Howell Drive, Stanford Avenue and Guava Avenue. The services included coordinating with local residents for traffic calming solutions, preparing conceptual drawings of traffic calming solutions and working with City staff to present information to the…
The project widened Camino Del Sur in the City of San Diego to six lanes with medians. The addition of one lane in each direction required traffic signal modifications to five intersections from SR-56 to Carmel Valley Road to accommodate the traffic operations. A signing and striping plan was prepared to accommodate the new traffic…
The Otay Ranch – Village 8 project include the design of 10 intersections within the Village 8 community. The plan set also included interconnect and fiber communication details. The project’s main challenge was focused on construction coordination as the new tenants were moving into their homes. The project included one-way roadways, community on-street parking and…
The purpose of the Doran Street and Broadway/Brazil Safety and Access project is to improve safety and mobility while maintaining suitable access to existing businesses and surrounding residential areas. Metro is partnering with the CHSRA and the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), in addition to the City of Glendale and the City of Los Angeles to advance this Project that will enhance the safety and mobility for the area. This project is considering the closure of both the Doran Street and the Brazil/Broadway at-grade crossings with the Metrolink tracks. A multitude of overpass alternatives have been considered that will achieve these closures.
As part of the short-term safety improvements substantial safety and functional upgrades have been constructed for the nearby Broadway/Brazil at grade crossing. The Doran Street crossing will also be retrofitted in the short-term to improve safety, including signal modifications, a new pedestrian crossing, and a modified roadway for one-way (westbound) use only. LIN Consulting was tasked with the preparation of traffic signal modification plan and pre-emption calculations for the intersection of Doran Street and San Fernando Road. LIN Consulting participated in coordination meetings with California Public Utilities Commission staff and coordinated with City of Glendale and Los Angeles Department of Transportation staff.
The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments. (Formerly Alameda Corridor-East Construction Authority), in association with the City of Montebello and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) proposes grade separation at the railroad crossing on Montebello Boulevard and installing safety improvements, for enhanced safety at the crossings Maple, Greenwood and Vail Avenues. LCI was responsible for the preparation of the Traffic Study Report, Transportation Management Plan (TMP) Report and PS&E for the traffic and electrical engineering portion of the project.
The traffic study reviewed the proposed Montebello Grade Separation Project and analyzed the impacts of the proposed project on the study area (47 study area intersections and 16 roadway segments) from a traffic engineering point of view and recommend mitigation measures.
The TMP evaluated various strategies that can be implemented before and during construction to provide congestion relief during the construction of the project by managing traffic flow and balancing traffic demand through the project area.
LIN Consulting, Inc. prepared PS&E for signing and striping, traffic signal design, traffic handling and detour and street lighting design. The traffic signal design includes a proposed pre-signal to prevent vehicular traffic from stopping on the railroad tracks and queue cutters to terminate the phasing to avoid vehicles from queueing onto the railroad. Due to the near proximity of the intersection and railroad tracks, special consideration for the phase diagram was necessary to ensure that vehicles could clear the tracks during a railroad pre-emption. Additional attention was required for the proposed median and striping to ensure that truck access was maintained for the adjacent driveways. As part of the at-grade improvements LIN Consulting also developed traffic signal preemption calculations for the intersections of Mines Ave/Vail Ave and Greenwood Ave/Truck Way.
