I lead the design and environmental team for the Craycroft Roadway expansion for Pima County DOT, providing ecological restoration, art coordination, assistance with public outreach and consensus building, Clean Water Act Section permitting, trails coordination, equestrian facilities and visual assessment/mitigation. We were selected to present the expedited environmental clearance process at the annual statewide Roads & Streets Conference. We were able to help our client and owner secure permitting prior to 65% plans to facilitate expedited construction schedule under the CMAR (construction manager at risk) structure.
