KPG completed travel demand forecasting, traffic operations modeling, and traffic simulation to demonstrate the benefits associated with conversion of the one-way couplet system to two-way operations. The project enhanced the downtown business and pedestrian environment and improved downtown traffic circulation while maintaining access through the City. Project elements included conversion of 11 signalized intersection from one-way to two-way operations, replacement of controllers, fiber optic communications, ADA upgrades, bicycle lanes, transit amenities, plazas, decorative traffic signals and pedestrian lighting, rain gardens, undergrounding of utilities, and construction staging plans.

To seamlessly transition this project from design through construction, KPG’s construction services team provided resident engineering, inspection, and contract documentation services during the 320 day construction window. The KPG team prepared and collected all paperwork, compiled change orders, and reviewed submittals. Extensive coordination was managed with both adjacent private developments and franchise utilities for undergrounding relocations. The team also prepared for and passed five Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Local Programs reviews, including a PMR audit. KPG led a weekly developer coordination meeting with up to six different downtown developers adjacent and near the project.
