ReImagine Bridge Street

Truckee, CA

Headway analyzed multiple intersections and roadway sections in downtown Truckee, CA in order to improve pedestrian safety and circulation, maintain or improve traffic flow, and to designate a Quiet Zone at the Bridge Street railroad crossing. Headway developed and evaluated eighteen (18) alternatives due to the complexity of the railroad crossing and limited right-of-way. Headway analyzed operations using a microscopic model of each alternative, with and without a train present, using SimTraffic. Finally, a detailed simulation of the selected alternative was created in PTV VISSIM to simulate traffic conditions, signal timing, and railroad pre-emption.
