We developed citywide street types and performance measures that continue to help the city broaden transportation choices and support walking in a park once downtown. Glendale In Newport Beach, we created a parking plan to help Balboa Village cope with large surges of summer visitors. Our solutions, which were integrated into the master plan, including demand-based pricing, parking benefit districts, and shared parking. The city then asked us to develop a parking management plan for its Corona del Mar district. To maximize mobility options in Los Angeles, we led a multidisciplinary team to improve access to transit. Our recommendations were embraced and the city asked us to develop a plan and implementation strategy to provide new first mile/last mile services between Metro Rail stations and key destinations. Los Angeles We created a transportation demand management plan for Cal State Long Beach to help the campus shift away from a commuter school, reduce its carbon footprint, and invest in a system that supports all modes of travel. Measures included enhanced bicycle infrastructure, improved parking management and technology solutions, and transit incentives. We crafted Santa Monica s Circulation Element, steering it through an intense public process. We used new development to fund a package of community benefits, including new bicycle lanes, more sidewalks, more frequent transit, and stringent transportation demand management programs. We were brought back to develop parking, bike action, and area plans. Santa Monica The Orange Line bus rapid transitway in LA, although a groundbreaking success, is hampered by mixed access. As part of a larger team, Nelson\Nygaard identified and prioritized improvements to station access and station-area circulation for all 14 existing Orange Line stations. We also provided high-level concepts for expansion and extension of the Orange Line.
