I’ve worked with Bryan for years and he constantly challenges me and others to be our best and bring our best ideas and solutions to the projects we work on together. He has a big-picture vision and wants to make sure projects come to fruition and delivered to the community. He is always leveraging and maximizing resources and our talent.
We have worked on a multitude of projects together from streetscape beautification projects to reenvisioning coastal corridor projects to designing roundabouts and traffic signals for intersections to complicated interchanges with transmission power lines, high speed rail and railroad corridors adjacent. We even worked on a citywide Bicycle and Trails Master Plan focused on implementation and connections throughout the city for people that walk and bicycle. Many of the projects have become award winning.
On Eastvale’s Limonite Gap Closure Bridge project, Bryan helped the City adopt new design guidelines so that the bridge design team had more options and latitude for alignment to reduce project costs and enhance safety yet create an aesthetically pleasing bridge that is a shining example of complete streets within a newly developing business park. The alignment and design maximized developable land without sacrificing function or safety and then it was enhanced with a corridor landscape plan to create a unique and special sense of arrival for the business park and bridge.
I’m looking forward to working with Bryan again.
