Auto-CAD Redesign and Synchro

The five intersections were redrawn using Auto-CAD, illustrating the four-to-three lane road diet that was chosen as our final design.  Bike lanes were added onto Parkway Avenue, in both directions, allowing bicyclists to travel along the road safely.  The volumes that were obtained were inputted into Synchro, to simulate the traffic conditions of the roadway.

Met with Mercer County DOT

Met with Mr. Lawson and Mr. Fallat to discuss refining the project scope.  Along with implementing a road diet on parkway, we will be implementing a road diet on Olden Ave.  We were given permission by the DOT to remove the concrete dividers located on the Olden ave intersection.

Acquired Measuring Equipment

We spoke with Dr. Brennan and he was nice enough to let us use a single measuring wheel for our project.  We will go out into the field this weekend, weather permitting, and take all the necessary measurements of the existing site conditions.  This will aid us when drawing the roadway and intersections on Auto-CAD.
