Project Experience

City of Mountain View On-Call Traffic Engineering Services, Mountain View, CA

Project Manager at the City of Mountain View since 2016, as part of the staff augmentation services within the on-call contract. Services performed for the city include reviewing traffic-related items for land development projects, reviewing traffic control plans for excavation permits, reviewing traffic-related items for capital improvement projects, and reviewing traffic analysis scope, traffic studies, trip generation memorandums, signal warrant analyses, and parking analyses. Miscellaneous tasks include reviewing contractor submittals and change orders, providing on-site construction support for traffic-related items, assisting with traffic signal timing/programming, running truck turning templates, reviewing roadway and safety lighting, and providing technical assistance and guidance to in-house design staff.

Foothill Expressway Operational Improvements, Santa Clara County, California

As Lead Design Engineer, Celina designed traffic signal modifications at two intersections, overall intersection geometrics, roadway improvements (i.e., roadway widening, bike lane/shoulder, sidewalk, median, curb and gutter, ADA curb ramps, etc.), grading and drainage improvements, signing & striping improvements, and temporary traffic control plans. The project also required fiber optic splice diagrams for the fiber optic cable improvements along Foothill Expressway.

Charleston Corridor Phase 1 Project, Mountain View, California

As project engineer, Celina designed the preliminary layout of the intersections along Charleston Road between Huff Avenue and Shoreline Boulevard, which included both one-way and two-way cycle tracks, bus stations on both sides of Charleston Road, and the green streets concept. Celina designed the traffic signal improvements at all intersections along this segment. Signal improvements include interconnect and adaptive system modifications. Celina also assisted with the intersection layout and signing and striping improvements and prepared temporary traffic control and detour signage plans. The temporary traffic control included the design of enhanced crossing systems, including blinker signs with button actuation and audible warning messages. Celina also prepared signal timing sheets for the new intersection operations.
