Section 4. Project Team Resumes (continued) <br />SORIN B. GARBER <br />Traffic Engineer <br />Mr. Garber has over 12 years of experience analyzing urban transportation systems and the <br />effect of new development and infrastructure on those systems in the northeastern United <br />States. Prior to joining DEA, Mr. Garber operated his own transportation planning practice <br />and worked as a senior planner/engineer for the New York City Department of <br />Transportation. His areas of expertise include planning and design studies, environmental <br />impact statements, traffic and parking impact assessments, transit and pedestrian mode <br />analyses, trip generation and utilization studies, and the development of computer models <br />for transportation planning efforts. <br />Experience: <br />Coordination all transportation analyses and roadway design elements related to the creation <br />of a master plan and development of a new arena for the Portland Trail Blazers. The <br />analysis will eventually test a wide spectrum of potential physical features including 1-5 <br />construction alternatives, northern LRT alignment, local street circulation, pedestrian spaces, <br />and transit station design. <br />Project manager for the Central City Transportation Management Plan. This included <br />transportation engineering support to a multi -discipline team charged with recommending <br />district policy issues, developing district transportation profiles and analytical models, and <br />evaluating selected policies. <br />Prepared the 181st Avenue and Sandy Boulevard Traffic Impact Study which compared the <br />potential traffic impact of the existing zoning use versus a proposed plan amendment. The <br />analysis found that both background growth and the proposed development itself would <br />mandate that various roadway requirements be implemented. <br />Managed DEA's transportation role in reviewing and disclosing the effects of three . <br />alternative connector roadways in the Fairfield and Gresham areas. The connector road will <br />provide needed through corridor from 1-84 to relieve congestion along 181st and 238th <br />Avenues. <br />Supported the engineering and design effort studying the feasibility of establishing an <br />underground light rail connection through downtown Portland, and the possible effect of <br />such an alignment on the city's urban form and traffic circulation characteristics. <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Redevelopment Plan EIR 4-11 <br />
