KAI's Transportation Education Series provides interactive presentation sessions intended to promote professional development and advancements in transportation engineering and planning.
Involving a transportation engineer early in the development process can save you time and money, and help ensure a functional, safe, successful project. In this interactive presentation, Diego Arguea, Brian Dunn, Tony Roos and Charles Radosta of Kittelson & Associates, Inc. will draw on common experiences and share their expertise in how insightful innovative transportation design adds value at all stages of the land development process.
This is the third in a three-part series addressing critical topics and questions that arise during the design approval and construction process:
• Can transportation design and innovative intersection treatments lead to faster approvals?
• What factors drive the design process (ADA? Sidewalk treatments? Bicycle treatments? Signalization or Roundabout? Pedestrian Scramble?)
• How can Integrated Design help?
• How does a TMP requirement impact your project in an urban environment and active construction zones?
• How can I create certainty and minimize risk, understand the agency process, and develop a predictable timeline?
We will cover these topics and more…. So bring your own stories, experiences to share - exchange knowledge and challenge the presenters! We will also have a quick recap of the first two talks in the series.
This presentation is uniquely tailored for our private sector clients and teaming partners, consisting of a wide pool of developers, brokers, architects, planners, engineers, and land use attorneys.
