The City of Sugar Hill, Georgia's Downtown Mobility Study is an update of its Downtown Traffic Study, originally completed in 2016. The update accounts for the City's rapid growth and new developments, catalogs pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and updates the downtown area's on-street parking inventory including an analysis of parking utilization and turnover. The Downtown Mobility Study also evaluates vehicle speeds through downtown and their impacts on non-motorized traveler safety.

I managed the update process, overseeing the work of a traffic engineer, and analyzing the results of the engineer's findings. I coordinated the team discussions to identify, analyze, and recommend alternatives, presented the findings and recommendations to the client, and wrote the final report.

The Downtown Fayetteville Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) is an update to the City's downtown development plan, originally completed in 2005. The Downtown Fayetteville LCI establishes a regulating plan and associated design guidelines for a new main street mixed-use district, as well as strategies to activate private development and guide public investment for approximately 900 acres around the downtown area.

I served as the project’s transportation expert and identified opportunities to coordinate the City's Unified Development Ordinance street design standards with a new street typology developed specifically for the LCI. In addition to developing a new street typology, I identified new trail connections, aligned sidewalks and bicycle facilities with recommendations for new parks, and provided guidance to leverage private surface parking for public use.

Alabaster Forward, the winner of the 2016 Alabama Chapter of the American Planning Association’s Outstanding Comprehensive Plan Award, is an example of a design-based plan that integrates land use and transportation. Alabaster Forward’s transportation element took a grass-roots approach to addressing barriers to mobility and access to opportunities, identifying transportation and land use solutions to maximize opportunities.

In addition to being the overall project manager, I led the development of Alabaster Forward's mobility element which included new street alignments, Complete Streets elements, trail segments, and recommendations for local public transit circulation.

The North Birmingham Community Framework Plan is a subset of the City fo Birmingham's Comprehensive Plan. It was developed in parallel with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental remediation plan for North Birmingham.

I was the task manager responsible for developing the plan's mobility element. The mobility element complemented plan recommendations for down-zoning vacant and abandoned properties by identifying opportunities for greenway trails in natural wooded areas. It also supported plan recommendations for improving existing neighborhoods with Complete Streets and improved public transit services, and safer bus stops. Finally, the mobility element identified dedicated truck routes to move heavy vehicles serving the community's industrial land uses from residential streets, directing them to more appropriate facilities.

The Titusville Community Framework Plan is a subset of the City of Birmingham's Comprehensive Plan. This neighborhood-focused plan provides policy recommendations for land use changes, housing, economic development, green infrastructure, and stormwater management.

I managed the development of the plan's mobility element which recommended strategies to develop Complete Streets, improve pedestrian-scaled lighting, better utilize alleyways, connect local parks, create green streets, and integrate with the Birmingham Xpress bus rapid transit (BRT) system.
