Have you seen the latest TR News? Our NCHRP project to develop guidance on evaluation of postwar commercial properties is featured. This important project provides practitioners a practical methodology to guide National Register evaluations for the commercial buildings and commercial strips that are found all across the country. I enjoyed working with my colleagues and the NCHRP Panel to address the challenges and understand what traits would make these properties eligible for listing in the National Register.

Looking foward to seeing you there! Be sure to stop by the booth and say hi! Better yet, let's connect now to discuss how Parish Consulting can help you streamline your operations. Are you fielding regular calls from your onsite teams answering basic "how should I handle this" questions? If the answer is yes, we should talk! #manufacturedhousing #mobilehomes #operationalexcellene #propertymanagement

POWERFUL workshop on Pedestrian Safety on Arterials to kick off the TRB Annual Meeting. We learned from Australia and New Zealand, who have used the Safe System Approach to radically reduce road fatalities. One of the facilitators put it best: "To address pedestrian safety on arterials, we must address ALL safety on ALL roads." #trbam

The Darzi report is well worth a read. Many of us will be particularly interested in the capital funding issue(s), but the report covers so many more topics that the design and construction industry can help solve. These are already well-known and understood. Let’s hope the outcome of the current NHP review starts to address at least some of these issues, and implement the current government’s manifesto pledge of “…delivering the New Hospitals Programme”. https://lnkd.in/ee-QPqHc

An elementary form of SCATS was conceived and initiated by Arthur Sims and his offsider Graham Davis when working in the Traffic Engineering Branch of the NSW Department of Motor Transport in 1994/5. The number of traffic signals in NSW at that time was scarcely more than 1000, with about 10% of them in a number of small linear coordinated systems. Most officers of that Branch were transferred to the DMR on the establishment of the Traffic Authority in 1996. The system was further developed and so named, nurtured and marketed overseas, largely by Arthur and Peter Lowrie, all under the watch of Ken Dobinson. Though not a “qualified” engineer, Arthur justly received international recognition as “ International Road Engineer of the year” from, I think, the USA- based Institute of Traffic Engineers, for the development of SCATS. Over the next 10 years SCATS became the operational system of the Transport Management Centre which Sims and Davis staffed initially under Rae French in 1965 in Oxfort St Sydney. The DMR and the Traffic Authority were absorbed into the Roads and Traffic Authority in 1988 . This in turn became part of the Roads and Maritime Authority in circa 1994 and then Transport for NSW with another change of government. As Ken and others have indicated, a host of very capable engineers have contributed to the development and continued viability of SCATS over the past 60 years. Many of them were acknowledged in Frank Hulscher’s mammoth “A Signal Career”, circa 1995. The ubiquitous growth of traffic over the past 60 years or so has made it difficult to recognise the contribution that these people have made to the management of traffic over that time. The discerning road user might still perceive the benefits of signal coordination, and the technology left me behind many years ago. But it does seem to me that the search for improvement of coordination has been at the cost of inefficiency and driver frustration at the local level. I can’t help wondering how Scats will cope with contemporary changes in philosophy of place and movement for example.

Building Trust In Your Thinking

Interesting read. Would the extra supplies become oversupply for certain cities as we know the market trend in the last couple of years. Though some are definitely needing more . Nevertheless, Universities, even education providers are looking for substantial supplies which they can accommodate the needs of not only for academic studies but also semesters, summer terms, pre-sessionals. In a word, flexible varieties. Luckily for some, as Gobritanya now teamed up with UCL to provide extra supply options to their students, will we bringing a storm into a small segment of the market ? We are also open to discuss any students related business. #studentaccommodation #studentliving #london #ucl #education #flexibilities #pbsa #studenthousing #summerschool #studentdevelopment
