BEN WILSON STREET CORRIDOR STUDYCITY OF VICTORIA

Our team performed a corridor study on Ben Wilson Street to assist the City and MPO in developing recommendations that align with the current and future needs of this roadway. The study focused on evaluation and recommendation of facilities for pedestrian, bicyclist, and transit accessibility and multi-modal performance. The study involved coordination with stakeholders, compilation of traffic data, preparation of a report and presentation of recommendations.

SERVICES AND CAPABILITIES

Freese and Nichols provides fully integrated traffic engineering services to support all phases of project development, analysis and design. We help clients address traffic congestion without compromising traffic operations or safety; leverage transportation funding; establish rough proportionality and impact fees; integrate new technology into existing systems; upgrade traffic signal systems; and more.

Freese and Nichols has been extensively involved in the increased use of roundabouts in traffic engineering and roadway design. Our team has designed multi-lane and modern roundabouts, and we understand the subtle design elements that make them safe and functional for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. These “complete street” designs incorporate pedestrian visibility, truck turning movements and vehicle path overlap to maintain safety and maximize capacity.
