City of Philadelphia: Lincoln Drive Resurfacing and Restoration

This work order is to restore and resurface Lincoln Drive from Ridge Avenue to Wayne Avenue and along Wissahickon Avenue from Lincoln Drive to Rittenhouse Street. KMJ prepared final traffic signal permit plans for six intersections along Lincoln Drive. KMJ conducted field observations at each intersection and along Lincoln Drive to verify existing survey. Several design efforts with multiple responsible parties were included in this work order, including KMJ, Michael Baker and the City of Philadelphia. Success of this project is based upon the integrated approach to design within the constraints of the budget.

City of Philadelphia: Traffic Operations and ITS (TOITS) - Bustleton Avenue South

The City of Philadelphia Department of Streets seeks to identify, plan, design and construct improvements to make streets and intersections safer for all roadway users. This program is the design and implementation of traffic signal and operational safety improvements along several corridors in the City of Philadelphia through a federal TIGER3 Grant. KMJ prepared the safety review report for the entire Bustleton Avenue South corridor along with preliminary and final design plans for 11 signalized intersections. This fast tracked effort required significant coordination between and among the team as well as across projects being completed for different city departments to ensure a seamless design and implementation.

City of Philadelphia: Historic Street Condition Study

• Street Condition• Assessment

The City of Philadelphia designated more than 500 blocks historic. Over the years, the materials used to pave these streets has deteriorated. The City, specifically the Department of Streets requested a comprehensive update and assessment of the Historic Streets to facilitate prioritization of repairs. KMJ established a rating system, identified criteria and other information that would be input to a comprehensive database. KMJ then conducted field visits to document conditions. Each block was rated, the higher the total score the lower the integrity of the block. The data can be sorted by planning district, councilmanic district, and a number of other ways to assist the City in its prioritizing and budgeting process.

City of Philadelphia: ADA Curb Ramp Design –Historic Streets

• Curb Ramp DesignKMJ designed a total of 12 ADA curb ramps, 4 each on American Street, Waverly Street and Maiden Street to comply with both PennDOT and the City of Philadelphia standards. The historical nature of the roadways and adjacent buildings presented a number of design challenges that were addressed to provide access in these areas. In some cases, raised crossings were implemented as an alternative to conventional curb ramps. KMJ conducted field investigations and took measurements to verify the survey and prepared a photo-log to document conditions. Close coordination between and among the City of Philadelphia, Gilmore & Associates and KMJ has been critical for successful implementation of improvements along these roadways.

Amtrak 30th Street Station Master Plan

AMTRAK, Drexel University, and Brandywine Realty Trust joined together to prepare a 30th Street Station District Master Plan. The Master Plan takes into account development in and around the 30th

Street Station area, including Drexel University’s Innovation Neighborhood. KMJ was responsible for collecting data and evaluating the vehicular traffic conditions in the area surrounding 30th

Street Station; as well as comparing the current conditions to several studies previously conducted in the area. KMJ was also responsible for evaluating future conditions with new development in the area and determining recommendations for future congestion reduction. KMJ conducted field views to observe congestion issues in the area and collected vehicle, pedestrian and transit volume data during the weekday morning and afternoon peak periods. In addition to the technical analysis, KMJ participated in the planning, coordinating and executing stakeholder and public engagement events in order to identify important issues.

Transportation Information Gateway

The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) is a member agency-guided MPO that serves as a planning forum for NYC, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley. The Transportation Information Gateway application aims to function as a data warehouse, therefore member agencies can contribute databases to be viewed internally or by the public. The Gateway allows data to be visualized, manipulated, mapped, and charted. KMJ works as a liaison between NYMTC stakeholders and the Cambridge Systematics development team. KMJ created an intuitive, self-contained user feedback suite, and developed a method for extracting rich metadata from user feedback for distribution to both the developers and the steering committee to better understand avenues for future project development. KMJ developed user training materials and conducted two training sessions for 35 agency users as well as one advanced training for eight system administrators.

New Jersey DOT: Route 1 Left-Turn Restrictions Travel Time Study

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), in an effort to increase throughput and reduce delays on Route 1 (just north of I-95), introduced restrictions on left turns at select signalized intersections in West Windsor, Mercer County, NJ. As a result, travelers were directed to use alternate routes. KMJ analyzed travel time data collected over a six-week period (before, during and after restrictions) along 28 routes to determine average speed, average travel time, and comparative delays experienced by travelers on each route for specific time periods in a week including (AM/PM peak periods; off-peak periods; and weekend periods). KMJ also performed user delay cost analysis for the main N-S and E-W routes to determine the economic impact of the left-turn restrictions.

Cooper’s Ferry Partnership: River Road Initiative Traffic Signal Retiming

Cooper’s Ferry Partnership, in partnership with the City of Camden, secured funding for the concept development, preliminary and final engineering, and construction phases of the River Road Initiative. The purpose of the project is to address the truck traffic traveling along the River Avenue corridor that negatively affects the Cramer Hill neighborhood within the City of Camden. Traffic signal retiming was identified as a measure to discourage truck traffic from utilizing the River Avenue corridor (1.3 miles long from State Street to 36th Street) through the Cramer Hill neighborhood.KMJ conducted capacity analysis for existing and future conditions on River Avenue and recommended traffic signal timings and time-based offsets for two progression systems to meet this objective. KMJ also calculated vehicle and pedestrian clearance times for each signalized intersection.
