Projects

Explore a selection of the projects we've worked on, where we’ve partnered with communities, agencies, and stakeholders to deliver innovative transportation solutions. From optimizing traffic flow to advancing sustainable infrastructure, our approach combines data-driven insights with creative problem-solving to improve mobility and accessibility for all. These projects reflect our commitment to designing systems that enhance quality of life, reduce environmental impact, and prepare communities for the future.

Yelm Highway Community Park

A map and diagram showing a transportation study for a park full-build project. It includes street names, intersection details, and bus trip schedules during different times of day, with diagrams indicating various trip distributions and forecasted peak hour traffic figures.

A Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared for a proposed community park and future secondary school. An operational analysis was conducted for over 15 intersections in the cities of Tumwater, Lacey, Olympia and Thurston County. Existing and forecast conditions without and with project were analyzed, which accounted for several development phasing scenarios. Signalized and roundabout control at the proposed project access were analyzed.

Our firm has worked on traffic projects for a handful of local school districts. We prepared Traffic Impact Analyses for several Gig Harbor School District elementary schools throughout 2019-2020 including Pioneer Elementary, Evergreen Elementary, Harbor Hills Elementary and Artondale Elementary. We’ve also completed queuing analyses for several schools to ensure the safety and smooth pick-up/drop-off circulation of their proposed access configuration.

This project entailed devising a circulation and signage plan to help concert goers find their way in and out of the venue. The finalized report outlined potential road improvements adjacent and within the facility that would reduce traffic congestion. Proposed road improvements included:

  1. Construction of a two way left turn lane on Silica between North and South Frontage Roads with associated left turn pockets.

  2. Intersection radius improvements of I-90 ramps and Silica Road.

  3. Left turn channelization on Silica at Sunland and the construction of three lanes on Silica to Baseline Road.

  4. Right-off lane at Sunland Road southbound and Baseline Road northbound.

  5. Right-off lane on Baseline at Silica Road.

  6. Left turn channelization on Baseline Road at Silica.

  7. Lane width improvement and/or additional lanes from Baseline northerly to the Amphitheater entrances.

  8. Extension of three lanes northerly to the Campground entrance.

  9. Right-off lane on 1-NW westbound at Campground entrances.
