Section 4. Project Team Resumes (continued) <br />Prepared the multi -modal transportation analysis and certified environmental assessment for <br />the reorganization of St Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center's two campuses and its adjoining <br />mixed use development in midtown and upper Manhattan. The original research he <br />completed of travel behaviors to hospitals has been incorporated into local standards for <br />such institutions. Further, his estimation of resulting environmental impacts generated by <br />this massive development were effectively mitigated by a series of measures, including <br />loading area design changes, the creation of a satellite materials distribution center and <br />off -site parking areas, truck delivery practices, and intersection/roadway improvements. <br />Completed the transportation elements of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts <br />Environmental Impact Statement. The project included a new residential/institutional <br />tower. After identifying the unique travel behaviors to this cultural and educational <br />landmark and documenting his analysis, Mr. Garber worked with community groups and <br />public officials to further enhance Lincoln Center's network of plazas and concourses for <br />pedestrian movements, and to develop modifications to the access/egress layout of the <br />project's garage and its connection with the local roadway network. <br />Directed the transportation and air quality studies associated with the proposed 1.5-million <br />square foot office tower in midtown Manhattan led to the certification of its highly contested <br />environmental impact statement. Travel behaviors were determined via a comprehensive <br />survey issued to the proposed tenant of the building. Novel analyses related to truck <br />delivery maneuvers, pedestrian connections to Grand Central Station, and laboratory wind <br />tunnel studies of air dispersion models were completed to satisfy agency and community <br />concerns. Mr. Garber also prepared a conceptual proposal for a programmatic air quality <br />mitigation plan to encourage the tenant's usage of non-polluting travel modes. <br />Assisted in the design of a $5 billion interstate Wghway project, which led to the completion <br />of a variety of site specific and project -wide traffic studies in support of highway design <br />considerations, public presentations .by project officials, and as the basis for air and noise <br />quality analyses. <br />Education <br />B.A., Social Science, 1977, University -of California -Santa Barbara <br />Master of Urban Planning, 1981, CUNY Hunter College <br />City of ,Santa Ana <br />Redevelopment Plan EIR 4-12 <br />
