city of rolling meadows bears stadium transportation plan review
2025
The one that kicked off this whole shebang, we’re on contract to review of the Chicago Bears Transportation Plan on behalf of the neighboring community of Rolling Meadows, IL. We’re pleased to be on this project as a sub-consultant to CBBEL, and are excited to start review of this plan to provide the best value back to Rolling Meadows!

city of Inglewood sofi stadium transportation plan and signal timing
2019-2021
While at Alliant Engineering, I took part in developing the Sofi Stadium Transportation Management Plan in Inglewood, CA. I played an integral part in the volume routing analysis as well as conducted the signal retiming and implementation for 140+ signals to utilize 3 event timing plans (an inbound, outbound flush, and outbound low) and 6 normal-day timing plans.

Mndot Twin ports Interchange Detour traffic signal timing
2019-2021
While at Alliant Engineering, I took part in developing signal timing detour plans for MnDOT’s Twin Ports Interchange work in Duluth, MN, a project that involved reconstructing a major regional connection in the Duluth area, and its impacts involved major traffic rerouting through areas not necessarily built to handle that capacity.

dakota county csah 38 & CR 5 detour signal timing
2025
Even recently here at Dakota County, I was able to scratch the unique signal timing itch. When MnDOT rebuilt the Burnsville Parkway bridge, their detour routed 500+ extra vehicles per hour to a left-turn movement of a County signal; I threw the kitchen sink at the signal to get it to work. We utilized Twice Per Cycle Left Turns, upstream half cycle metering, access management, and clever split-phased reconfigurations to make it work safely and efficiently as possible for the 7 months it was in effect. If that sounds neat (or even if it’s Greek to you), reach out, I’d love to chat about it.
city of chicago various signal timing work
2021-2024
In my time at the City of Chicago DOT, I signed off on 120+ signal designs and 300+ signal timing plans. These varied from basic 2-phase signals to intricate six-legged, combined intersections on one controller, and other weird configurations. A vast amount of these involved conversion from interval to NEMA phasing, which required lots of signal tricks to work correctly. Some of my favorites involved retiming the Broadway/Sheridan corridors in Uptown (30 signals), Stony Island on the Southside (21 signals), Ashland from Pilsen to North Center (56 signals), the Stony Island/79th intersection, and temporary detour timing around the Obama Library where we used to dummy phases and overlaps to handle massive reroutes of traffic (and we tricked Synchro into modeling it as a 4-ring signal).

city of minneapolis various signal timing
2013-2016
The first city I fell in love with and the place I currently reside, I’ve been really lucky to take part in helping make the Minneapolis’ signal timing the best it can be. When with Alliant Engineering, I took part in some of the following signal efforts:
Implementing the Downtown network’s signal timing
Developing the model and optimizing signal timings for Northeast
Implementing snow plan timings in South Minneapolis
Aiding in model and timing updates for the US Bank Stadium
Modeling of 1st Ave and Blaisdell bikeway signal operations
Aiding in modeling and analysis of 3rd Avenue, 8th St, and 4th Ave reconstruction efforts in Downtown
Various other small scale on-call work
