MCFADDEN AVENUE PROTECTED BIKE LANE AND ~m'� - BICYCLE BOULEVARD PROJECT CITY OF SANTA ANA FONG-PING LEE, PE, TE R§DOKKEN TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ENGINEERING 0 1 • Fong -Ping founded FPL in 1988 and has since grown FPL to become 1983, Doctor of a go -to local firm for traffic and civil engineering services in Southern Philosophy, Civil California. Fong- Ping has led FPL to specialize in projects under the (Transportation) jurisdiction of the City of Los Angeles (LADOT, BSL, BOE, LADWP, Engineering and BSS). Fong -Ping has a diverse background in traffic engineering University of Texas design, civil engineering design, and transportation planning. He personally oversees all traffic studies. 1976, MS Transportation EXPERIENCE Planning METRO Airport METRO Connector (AMC) Station, Los Angeles National Taiwan University I FPL PRINCIPAL -IN -CHARGE; the proposed project will create the long -sought rail link to LAX by connecting the Green and Crenshaw 1974, BS Civil Engineering lines to a future automated people mover currently under National Taiwan University construction by Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). FPL is responsible for all off -site civil and traffic engineering design. Design challenges have included supporting LADOT with the development • of a concept of the multi -use path (to be shared by pedestrians and California Professional bicyclists) for internal coordination at LADOT. Since LADOT did not Civil Engineer, #C40869 have design criteria for a multi -use path prior to this project, FPL worked closely with LADOT to develop "Ride Slow" pavement California Professional markings that obtained consensus within LADOT, including LADOT's Traffic Engineer, #TR 1705 bicycle group — the first of these kinds of markings in the City of Los Angeles.

FPL is responsible for the civil and traffic engineering design of over 20 intersections that requires approval from City of Los Angeles agencies that include BOE, LADOT, and BSL. FPL initially prepared preliminary engineering documents, was then tasked with preparing final construction documents, and is now preparing worksite traffic control plans to aid in construction of the project. Fong -Ping has overseen FPL's role evolve from supporting METRO to meet internal and funding deadlines, to switching gears to perform final design once the decision was made to deliver the project as a design -bid -build project.
