<br />David Lew, PE
<br />Task Lead - Design
<br />David is a licensed Civil Engineer with more than 30 years of experience in transportation engineering, specializing in the preparation of PS&E for Caltrans and various local
<br />agencies and cities. His expertise includes the development of feasibility studies, project study reports, and project reports. He has overseen the successful delivery and
<br />acceleration of transportation projects totaling over $800 million, focusing on street improvements across Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. David’s in-depth
<br />PS&E knowledge has been instrumental in the timely delivery and approval of numerous projects in Southern California. David brings direct experience delivering final designs
<br />for multiple roadways in Santa Ana through his work on multiple segments of the SR 55 Widening project.

<br />OCTA, SR 55 Widening Between I-5 and SR 91, Orange County, CA
<br />Project Manager. This project proposes to widen SR 55 at multiple locations
<br />between I-5 and SR 91 in the cities of Santa Ana, Orange, and Tustin. Along with
<br />freeway enhancements, the project focuses on upgrading curb ramps at the 17th
<br />Street/freeway ramps intersection and the 4th Street/freeway ramps intersection.
<br />Local improvements include reconstructing curb returns to comply with current
<br />ADA standards, providing appropriate clear widths and slopes for curb ramps and
<br />intersection crossings. The project is progressing on schedule and the HDR team is
<br />collaborating with the City of Santa Ana to provide conformity with city standards.
<br />OCTA, I-5 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Improvements/Avenida Pico Replacement,
<br />Anaheim, CA
<br />Project Manager. The project involved widening 0.7 miles of I-5 to add an HOV
<br />lane. The design reconstructed the Avenida Pico Interchange and modified the
<br />existing street to incorporate bike lanes, shoulders, and sidewalks on both sides. The
<br />geometry of Avenida Pico was realigned to remove an existing horizontal “S” curve,
<br />and all curb ramps and pedestrian facilities were upgraded to meet current ADA
<br />standards. Extensive underground utility relocations, including sewer, telephone,
<br />and electrical lines, were staged to maintain traffic flow along Avenida Pico. Several
<br />businesses had driveways facing Avenida Pico, and to minimize business disruptions
<br />during driveway reconstruction, rapid-strength concrete and secondary driveways
<br />were used to maintain access during all business hours. To expedite the project
<br />through the Ready-to-List and Advertising phases, which reduced the timeline from
<br />90 days to 60 days, David coordinated weekly conference calls with Caltrans and
<br />city staff to address comments and implement real-time changes. The project was
<br />completed 2 months ahead of schedule and $4 million under budget.
<br />OCTA, SR 55 Widening Between I-405 and I-5, Orange County, CA
<br />Project Manager. This project proposes to widen SR 55 in both directions, extending
<br />from the Route 55/405 separation to the Route 5/55 separation, passing through
<br />the cities of Santa Ana, Irvine, and Tustin. In addition to the freeway expansion, the
<br />project includes improvements to local Santa Ana roads (MacArthur Boulevard,
<br />Dyer Road, Edinger Avenue, Ritchey Street, Newport Avenue, and Pullman Street).
<br />These road upgrades involved widening the streets to accommodate standard lane
<br />and shoulder widths. A context-sensitive complete street design was implemented,
<br />adding multimodal facilities such as Class II bicycle lanes and pedestrian sidewalks.
<br />Affected curb returns were reconstructed to meet current ADA standards, providing
<br />proper clear widths and slopes for curb ramps and intersection crossings. Street
<br />designs were coordinated with the cities of Santa Ana, Irvine, and Tustin to provide
<br />conformity with local city standards.
<br />OCTA, SR 91 Widening Segment 2, Anaheim, CA
<br />Project Manager. The project involves widening 2.5 miles of SR 91 by adding one
<br />general-purpose lane in the eastbound direction to improve lane balance along the
<br />corridor. It also includes the reconstruction of both Kraemer Boulevard/Glassell
<br />Street and Tustin Avenue to meet current Caltrans and city design standards. The
<br />streets were widened to accommodate standard lane widths, Class II bicycle lanes,
<br />and standard sidewalk widths. On the north side of Tustin Street, a 15-foot-wide
<br />Class IV separated pedestrian/bicycle facility is proposed to support the city’s future
<br />bicycle track route. As part of the street reconstruction, impacted driveways and
<br />curb ramps were assessed for ADA compliance and upgraded as needed to meet
<br />current standards. HDR collaborated closely with the City of Anaheim through several
<br />geometric workshops to determine the best street configuration. The objective was
<br />to design a multimodal facility that optimized vehicle capacity while also prioritizing
<br />pedestrian and cyclist safety.
