Cherokee County’s Post

A huge thanks to Streetsblog California for featuring my latest video project about the California High Speed Rail. In this video, I retrace from above the 270-mile train route from downtown Los Angeles to Madera in the Central Valley (with the route eventually extending to San Francisco). My objectives were two-fold: 1. To enlighten the public about the immense scale of this project, one of the largest infrastructure undertakings in the world. Seeing it from the air helps convey the magnitude of the endeavor. 2. To showcase the significant progress being made while also acknowledging the challenges that remain. The video is linked in the article.

We're kicking off our celebration of Infrastructure Week with Caltrans’ American River Bridge Rehabilitation Project in Sacramento! This essential artery was beginning to display signs of wear — the kind that comes from years of faithful service. Recognizing the importance of timely care, Caltrans mobilized a project team to rejuvenate this key connection. Beyond the immediate need for rehabilitation, this project embodies a forward-thinking approach to urban planning. The introduction of a multi-use bike/pedestrian path as part of the bridge's redesign aligns with Sacramento's 2016 Bicycle Master Plan, bridging the gap between downtown and eastern Sacramento. This path will provide safe, accessible connections to medical centers, employment opportunities, and activity hubs, promoting a healthier, more sustainable mode of transportation. At the heart of this project is our dedication to quality management. With Atlas' on-call Quality Assurance (QA), source inspection, materials engineering, and construction inspection services, we ensure that every aspect of this project meets the highest standards of excellence. #InfrastructureWeek #UnitedForInfrastructure #Connectivity #Mobility #QualityAssurance #QualityManagement #MaterialsEngineering #ConstructionInpsection #UrbanPlanning #SustainableFuture

Why has it taken so long to fix the deadly intersection at Wellsona Road and Highway 101 in San Luis Obispo County? This delay can be attributed to several factors that are common in infrastructure projects, especially those involving busy highways. Infrastructure improvements often require significant funding, which can take time to secure. Competing priorities at the local, state, and federal levels can also delay the allocation of necessary funds. The intersection might present specific engineering challenges, such as the need to accommodate high traffic volumes, integrate with existing infrastructure, or address environmental concerns. Extensive planning is often required to ensure that traffic flow remains manageable during construction. Despite the delays, continued advocacy and awareness can help push such projects to completion. https://lnkd.in/dWZN72Mt

📢 **Attention Industrial Developers and Storage Builders!** If you're seeking high-growth opportunities, Buckeye, Arizona, is where you should be looking! As the fastest-growing city in the state, the demand for storage solutions is skyrocketing—and I have a **shovel-ready site** for an **800+ unit stacked storage facility** on 3.1 acres! Why should this be on your radar? With Buckeye’s rapid expansion, more residents and businesses mean more demand for storage space. Investing in developments like this now positions you ahead of the curve, tapping into a growing market with long-term potential. #IndustrialDevelopment #StorageBuilders #BuckeyeGrowth #ShovelReadyProject #RealEstateOpportunities #ArizonaDevelopment

When The Wall Street Journal wanted to understand how mountain roads are designed, it came to us. Thanks to Tammy Heffron and Howard Hume for sharing their time and expertise. Great job explaining the ins and outs of why mountain road design is so complex and the important engineering know-how that keeps drivers safe. Whether you're a veteran engineer or just a driver headed to the slopes, you'll gain a new appreciation for the attention to detail and engineering expertise required to plan, design and construct roads in difficult locations. https://lnkd.in/gBr3mb8N #RoadSafety #RoadwayDesign #HighwayDesign

🚧 When Georgia Department of Transportation needed to improve #RoadSafety and #congestion on a major #highway in #Atlanta, they knew lane closures and detours could potentially stall traffic and earn the ire of residents. So, to construct new roads and ramps around the hectic I-285/SR 400 interchange, they used historical and near real-time traffic data to help them complete the job quickly with NO public complaints. 🙌   See how they did it, and how public agencies can achieve safer, faster #roadwork that doesn't snarl traffic with StreetLight's new #Construction product. #RoadConstruction #transportation https://lnkd.in/g_WqAp6J

Sitting at the corner of Barstow's main arterial corridor and interstate I-15 places this project not only at a geographical axis, but also a complicated governance one (municipality and a state agency). Having a team who could support ownership in successfully negotiating this relationship was paramount. Go Team!! #barstow #CalTrans #Construction #project #projectmanagement #entitlement
