Vivian Hang E.I.T. West Athens -Westmont TOD Specific Plan, Los Angeles County, CA IBI Group was tasked with developing the Mobility Element of the West Carson TOD Specific Plan. The focus of the Specific Plan is to identify strategies that would leverage existing transportation infrastructure and lay the groundwork for future mobility enhancements. For this project, Ms. Hang provided assistance in analyzing existing conditions relating to the street, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian network, as well as identifying strategies that would improve multimodal connections within the area and increase transit ridership. This task included providing in-depth corridor analyses, developing street design concepts, mitigating impacts, and identifying land use and transportation policies to facilitate a safe and efficient multimodal network. 1-405 Renton to Bellevue ETL & Widening, Washington, CA The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is seeking to add new capacity by creating a dual express toll lane system on the 1-405 between SR 167 in Renton and NE 6th Street in Bellevue. Ms. Hang worked in signal modifications of six locations which includes a redesign of traffic signal heads and its phasing, conduits, loop detection, and pole locations using city and county standards. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Facilities Master Plan, San Jose, CA The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) initiated this study effort to examine existing conditions at the Cerone and Chaboya bus maintenance divisions, and to make recommendations for near -term improvements at both facilities to accommodate near -term needs for bus storage, bus maintenance, operator and maintenance training, and paratransit vehicle storage. Ms. Hang developed near -term as well as future designs for each bus facilities and the corresponding cost estimates. Designs include reconfiguring the employee/visitor parking, paratransit parking, bus parking, and light rail track and storage at both the Cerone and Chaboya bus facilities. Purple Line Extension & First -Last Mile Plan, Los Angeles, CA IBI Group is developing systemwide First -Last Mile Guidelines for LA Metro and First -Last Mile Plan for the four transit stations that comprise Sctions 2 and 3 of the Los Angeles Metro Purple Line Extension across Interstate 405, identifying needs and potential solutions for station access and connectivity improvements, including active modes of transportation. Ms. Hang worked on creating various configurations of traffic lanes for roadway segments in question to provide optimal and efficient designs. These designs include incorporating bike lanes without removing on -street parking as well as on -street parking bulb -out strategies. Standard and protected bikes lanes were utilized in the configurations to enhance bicycle ridership. Additionally, Ms. Hang assisted in identifying locations where wayfinding signs were needed to provide further active transportation connectivity within the network. North San Fernando Valley BRT Corridor, Los Angeles, CA The Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is seeking alternative analysis for a proposed implementation of a bus rapid transit in the North San Fernando Valley. This bus rapid transit system will connect key activity centers, reduce traffic congestion, improve regional transit connectivity, and promote transit -oriented communities (TOC). Ms. Hang created exhibits of various configurations of traffic lanes in order to accommodate the BRT route of alternative alignments using MicroStation as well as performing traffic impact analysis at each intersection with and without the project. She assisted in the redesign of signing and striping along the corridors to incorporate dedicated bus lanes and bikeways. Hurontario Light Rail Transit, Toronto, ON This project is proposing to implement a light rail transit in the middle of the corridor of Hurontario Street located in Toronto. This light rail will connect the cities of Mississauga and Brampton from Port Credit to Brampton Gateway Terminal with 22 stops along the way. Ms. Hang worked in identifying properties along the entire corridor that were needed to obtained in order for the construction of the light rail. She gathered necessary information such as the property index numbers (PIN), addresses, and property owners for all parcels located on both sides of the corridor. She aided in the redesign of signing and striping as well. TRIP Centennial Corridor, Bakersfield, CA The Centennial Corridor Project proposed to construct a new alignment and provide route continuity and traffic congestion relief by connecting State Route 58 and Interstate 5 in the City of Bakersfield. The Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) is a collective effort put forth between the City, County of Kern, Caltrans, and the Kern Council of Governments in order to relieve stress on outdated infrastructure by utilizing land along the freeway to create multi -use paths. Ms. Hang assisted in identifying necessary right-of-way needed for the new alignment as well as preparing MicroStation sheets. Additionally, she assisted in the redesign of ADA curb ramps, signing, and striping.
