Traffic Engineering Services

Effective traffic management is essential to Columbia County’s continued growth, especially along key routes like I-75 and U.S. Highway 90, which serve as vital links to neighboring counties. Our traffic engineering services include:

• Traffic impact analysis (TIA) to assess the effects of new developments in Columbia County, particularly along major corridors like U.S. 90 and I-75, ensuring that traffic flow is not compromised as new projects are developed.

   

• Traffic simulation to predict the performance of Columbia County’s major roadways and intersections, including downtown Lake City and other busy areas, allowing for improvements to reduce congestion and optimize traffic flow.

   

• Traffic calming strategies for neighborhoods and areas near schools and parks in both Lake City and surrounding rural communities, to ensure safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and local residents.

   

• Safety assessments to identify areas that may need safety improvements, such as intersections with high accident rates, and propose solutions like better signage, signals, and road reconfiguration to improve safety.

   

Our comprehensive traffic management solutions are tailored to Columbia County’s unique needs, helping ensure both local and regional traffic flow efficiently and safely.

Parking Planning

As Columbia County experiences growth, particularly in areas like downtown Lake City, effective parking and mobility planning become critical. Our parking planning services include:

• Comprehensive parking studies to evaluate existing parking systems in Columbia County, focusing on key areas like downtown Lake City, to ensure that current parking infrastructure meets the needs of residents and visitors.

   

• Parking demand analysis to anticipate future parking needs and optimize the use of existing parking facilities, especially in areas undergoing development or revitalization, such as the commercial district in Lake City.

   

• Sustainable parking solutions such as Parksmart certification and green infrastructure to promote environmentally friendly parking options, supporting the county’s commitment to sustainability as it continues to grow.

   

Our parking solutions are designed to enhance the accessibility of Columbia County’s urban centers, ensuring convenient and sustainable parking for residents, employees, and visitors.

Mobility Planning

Columbia County’s transportation infrastructure is integral to connecting local communities with regional centers and supporting its agricultural industry. Our mobility planning services include:

• Complete streets design to create safe, multi-modal streetscapes in key areas like downtown Lake City, ensuring that all users—drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians—can safely navigate the area.

   

• Curb lane management strategies to maximize the efficient use of limited curb space, particularly in busy commercial areas, ensuring that traffic flow is not disrupted while accommodating deliveries, parking, and other uses.

   

• Transportation demand management (TDM) strategies to reduce congestion on high-traffic routes like U.S. 90 and I-75, especially during peak hours, by promoting alternative transportation options such as carpooling, public transit, and biking.

   

• Public transit planning to improve access to transportation options, particularly for rural communities in Columbia County, where public transit and alternative mobility options can help reduce reliance on personal vehicles.

   

Our holistic approach to mobility planning ensures that Columbia County’s transportation network is efficient, safe, and sustainable, helping to meet the needs of a growing population while supporting the county’s unique characteristics.
