Qualifications for Orange County <br />WakeMed Redevelopment Traffic Impact Analysis _ -- <br />Duke Realty/ Raleigh, North Carolina <br />Client Reference: Jeremy Fortier - (317) 808 -6431 <br />M /A /B completed a TIA and signal <br />warrant analysis for the redevelopment <br />of a site along Sunnybrook Road near <br />New Bern Avenue. The redevelopment <br />will consist of 153,200 square feet of <br />medical office space, built in two <br />phases. The analysis incorporated <br />improvements at an adjacent <br />intersection of Calumet Drive that had <br />been a safety concern for the City of <br />Raleigh and NCDOT. Additional off — <br />site improvements included re- striping the Sunnybrook Road approach at New Bern Avenue and <br />signal and electrical plans for the intersection to accommodate these improvements. A traffic <br />signal is desired at the intersection of Sunnybrook Road and the Main Entrance to accommodate <br />the site traffic, pedestrian traffic, and re- routed traffic from the improvements at the upstream <br />Calumet Drive access restriction. Therefore, a signal warrant analysis was submitted to the City of <br />Raleigh and negotiations are currently underway to incorporate the signal into the plans for the <br />WakeMed site. <br />Durham Public Schools Traffic Engineering Services <br />Durham Public Schools/ Durham, North Carolina <br />Client Reference: Tim Carr - (919) 560 -2216 <br />Over the last eight years, Durham Public - - - <br />Schools PPS) has contracted with M /A /B to <br />provide traffic engineering services for several <br />schools undergoing new construction and <br />renovations. The type of work performed for <br />the schools has included TIAs, traffic signal <br />designs, transportation management plans, <br />pavement marking plans, sidewalk designs, and <br />traffic signal designs for WG Pearson <br />Elementary, Creekside Elementary, Hebron <br />Elementary, Treyburn Middle, and Jordan <br />High School.

The <br />traffic studies included a capacity analysis of local streets and intersections utilizing <br />Synchro /SimTraffic to determine any existing and future roadway deficiencies with the <br />construction of the schools. Many of the adjacent intersections required new signals or signal <br />upgrades including steel poles and mast arms, pedestrian heads and pedestals, and revisions to the <br />signal timing and phasing. All of these projects involved close coordination between the <br />NCDOT, the City of Durham, and M /A /B. Several projects required Major and Transportation <br />Special Use Permits due to the number of peak hour trips generated, thereby requiring expert <br />witness testimony at public hearings regarding roadway improvements and safety, traffic <br />congestion, noise, vibration and air quality impacts. <br />Martin /Alexiou /Bryson, P.C. 4 <br />
