Parking:

Analyzed and designed parking configuration for neighborhood shopping center and various small retail developments. Also analyzed existing parking facilities identified internal deficiencies and made recommendations for improvement. Performed numerous parking studies including downtown areas to determine peak parking demand and characteristics.

Trip Generation Research:

Involved in research to better quantify the trip generation of various land uses in the Chicago land area. These land uses include gas stations with car washes, small retail centers anchored by a convenience store, and residential developments. Involvement includes methodology, data collection, and analysis of statistical data.
