  Senior Transportation Engineer

  Projects:>Los Angeles World Airports - Landside Access Modernization Program (LAWA-LAMP) (Los Angeles)Managed the design of landside roadway improvements surrounding LAX.> Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project (San Diego)Provided Project Management Consultant (PMC) team support for SANDAG on the Engineering Phase of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project (MCCTP).MCCTP Purpose:The project will extend the existing Blue Line light rail to University Center, which includes the University of San Diego, San Diego Mesa Community College, and the University of California at San Diego. The project will improve access to University Center, Balboa, the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, north San Diego, and to all areas served by the existing light rail system. There is strong demand for transit in the corridor due to the highly developed, dense concentration of residential and institutional land uses. However, existing bus service is constrained by traffic on existing roads. There are geographic constraints that restrict the number of north-south roads, including several deep canyons and Mission Bay Park, resulting in few continuous north-south roadways and transit routes between University Center and downtown San Diego. By providing a dedicated guideway, the project will reduce the number of transfers required and improve transit travel times by ten minutes from the University Towne Centre Transit Center to downtown San Diego.
