20 CREATION AND EVALUATION ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS 20 Identified the design parameters for each component of the interchange Defined individual alternative solutions for each construction component Compiled Preliminary Study Report with project scope, background information, and alternative solutions

21 21 CREATION AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS DESIGN PARAMETERS Ramp Configuration Bike Lane Crossings Highway Widening Options Structural components Hwy 404 is a Rural Freeway Divided (RFD120) with a posted speed of 100kph 16 th avenue is an urban cross section (UAD80) with a posted of 60kph Other relevant Information used was received directly from itrans or was gathered from design guidelines such as MTO publications Each alternative was evaluated against each other and the existing condition

22 22 CREATION AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS RAMP CONFIGURATIONS #1: Parclo B-2 (existing) #2: Full Cloverleaf #3: Parclo A-4 Alternate 1 Alternate 2 Alternate 3 Alternate 4 Alternate 5 #4: Parclo B-4 #5: Modified Parclo B-2 and A-4

23 23 CREATION AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS BIKE LANE CROSSINGS Alternate 1 Alternate 2 #1: Bike Lanes cross parallel #2: Bike Lanes cross perpendicularly Important to safely account all modes of transportation Much debate over cyclist safety at ramp terminals

24 24 CREATION AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS HIGHWAY WIDENING OPTIONS #1: Widen to the east #2: Widen to the west #3: Widen Outwards Alternate 1 Alternate 2 Alternate 3 Alternate 4 Alternate 5 #4: Widen in the Median #5: Widen in the Median and Outwards

51 CONCLUSIONS 51 Based on preliminary study results, it was deemed necessary to redesign the existing interchange This project looked at multiple alternatives and selected the preferred alternative based on prescribed criteria The final deliverables of a PDR, Plan and Profile Drawings, GA drawing, Typical Sections Drawings, Staging Plan, and Working Days Estimate have been completed

52 FUTURE STUDY 52 Future studies related to this project specifically can include: Environmental Assessment with Public Involvement Detailed Design Stormwater Management Plan Structural Design

54 Lessons Learned Projects like this Take a LOT of Time! When looking for specific software for your project, ask the IT guy! 54

55 Things We Did Well Bi-Weekly Meetings with Client (alternating) Bi-Weekly Meetings with Faculty Advisor Use of Conference Calling for Meetings with Client (time saver for all) Mini Team Pre-Meetings Prior to External Meetings Rotating Responsibilities Within Meetings (i.e. note taker, meeting leader, etc) Meticulous Note Taking During Meetings, Minutes of Meetings 55

56 Things We Did Well Updating Client of all Major Events (via ) Standardizing all Communications (i.e. Forms, using single address setup specifically for the job, etc) Tracking Project Completion Using Gantt Chart and Scheduling Software (Milestones) Seeking expert advice from specialists rather than making assumptions 56
