an internal road network. The presence of utility corridors, a new tunnel easement under the Toll Road, inflexibility of moving site entries, and power lines along a regional rail trail on the north side dramatically limited the scope of development. Accommodating required parking per county ratios required serious consideration with the diversity of new development being proposed. Our solution came after numerous explorations of schemes and their variations, and meetings and conversations with the client. The development ultimately creates one large new, signature office building on site on the southeast corner of the lot, a prominent location facing the metro station, Toll Road, and downtown Washington. Three new residential towers are added to increase the site FAR to 3, or 1.8 million square feet. Two residential buildings are to be placed in the location of a to-be-demolished parking garage. The project includes ground level retail in addition to a pedestrianized road network. Parking garages are integrated into the buildings, while including ground level retail space. I contributed to the development of site wide planning, schemes, transportation, and parking integration strategies. Within a team, I advanced dozens of schemes with the project managers, lead designers, and clients to determine the best approachs to the goals.

The Reston Executive Center converts a 1980’s suburban office park into a mixed use retail center; it is situated near the Dulles Toll Road in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area, adjacent to the future Washington Metro Silver Line. The new line is supported by dense transit oriented development policies; as the property lies within the catchment area of the future Reston Town Center station, owners JBG Companies tasked the FXFOWLE team to create a phased mixed use center supporting up to 2.4 million square feet in development, a fourfold increase from the existing 600,000 square feet.

PROCESS Resolving the planning of this project was extremely challenging due to a number of constraints. Notably, the client desired to maintain the existing buildings on site, which were designed in a suburban, inefficient manner in the middle of the property. Preserving these buildings require adding the additional development density on the outskirts of the property while simultaneously developing

Major Government Agency Westphalia Development CONTRIBUTIONS

Client: The Walton Group 02.2013 – 09.2013 Prince George’s County, MD This project handled two separate issues concurrently: the relocation of a major government agency from downtown headquarters to a new site in the Westphalia community in Prince George’s County, MD, as well as a subsequent redevelopment of the original site in downtown Washington, DC. Our client on this project, Walton, has proposed the relocation of a Major Government Agency on a 45+ acre site on the outskirts of Washington, DC, as part of the redevelopment of a major plot of land termed Westphalia. Though this city has yet to be built, the Agency is being lured as an anchor of the proposed development.

• Initial four site strategies and corresponding rendered plans and 3D models. • Refine site context and diagrams • Application of schemes to updated client desires. • Revision of rendered plans and corresponding renderings for final site. • Security diagrams and program review. • Development and management of client presentations.

PROCESS The FXFOWLE team presents a series of proposals to demonstrate what such a relocation would look like and how it might be situated, initially beginning with an assessment of four general building typologies and then reducing these to two based on client input - the preferred Linear Landscape, and an alternative Linked Compound. These schemes and their materials were adjusted to a site that changed to better fit the nature of the anchor role in the development. The Linear Landscape is most ideal for its style of building, being best situated to the final layout of the site, and having the best security arrangements. Security concerns were of utmost importance with determining the viability of this project. The Linked Compound scheme has one major advantage over it’s counterpart: an ability to be phased into the development building by building. 3

Walton has asked FXFOWLE to study the best means with which to redevelop the existing downtown site of the Major Government Agency. Our team used the opportunities in the area—a highly visible and prominent location with a broad mix of uses nearby—to create a series of several alternative types of development. The client desired a target of approximately 2.4 million square feet of rentable space through a broad range of uses— office, retail, residential, and hotel functions, as well as public outdoor space.

• In a team, handle the creation and development of proposals and initial strategies for the downtown site. • Modify context and base maps. • Create client and planning staff presentations. • Work through many planning studies of 1.8 to 2.2 million SF multi-building developments. • Adjust and refine schemes according to client desires, including rendered plans, sections, area calculations, and 3D models. • Develop the final Piazza proposal. 11th STREET N.W.

Client: The Walton Group 02.2013 – 09.2013 Washington, DC

The preferred scheme, dubbed the “Piazza,” combines all desired elements: eight buildings, with a two building residential and two hotel mix; a pedestrian D Street; a passageway from SW to NE, and strong square footage.

“La Central” Mixed Use Development CONTRIBUTIONS

Client: Related Companies, Hudson Companies 05.2013 - 07.2013 Bronx, New York, NY

• Develop and present as a team a 1.2 million SF, five building proposal through developers Related and Hudson for mixed use affordable housing in the Bronx. • Maintain constantly changing plans and 3D models, and created presentations for client meetings. • All zoning plans and sections to address key issues such as setbacks, sky exposure planes, and frontage considerations. • Plans, sections, and layout studies of the YMCA, an anchor tenant of the proposed development, directly with a representative. • Final deliverables for architectural submission, including rendered elevations and base drawings.

La Central is a five building, 1.2 million square foot developer’s RFP through the New York Department of Housing and Public Development. Our proposal creates a sense of community within the development, and encompasses residential market rate and affordable housing, a YMCA gym, rooftop urban farming, a major internal public-private park, community centers, and a urban science telescope feature. The design encompasses a distinction between internal and external La CENTRAL architectural expressions, a blocking structure, and a tower feature with key massing strategies. 6/28/2013 NUMBER OF FLOORS

Greater Newburgh Area Transportation and Land Use Plan 12.2011 - 03.2012 The Greater Newburgh Area Transportation and Land Use Plan is a two year project that was finished during my term at Regional Plan Association. My primary task was designing and publishing the final master plan document, including creating maps from synthesized GIS data and developing the optimal presentation for the county and its constituents. The Newburgh Area Transportation and Land Use study was implemented by the Orange County Planning Department to identify key priorities for creating integrated solutions for transportation and land use within the northeastern portion of Orange County. The multi-modal plan for transportation was intended to identify strategies for enhancing mobility while preserving quality of life.

OSMAN DADI • 2014

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROCESS • Final document layout, editing, and design • Final map development • Graphic Design • Creating graphic renditions of the results of the project’s GIS analysis. In creating the final document, I utilized RPA’s report methodology. As the plan is rather lengthy, our team found it important to break the monotony of the text with frequent photographs that conveyed the context of the conditions described. Additionally, the flow of the text is highly important, and tables, charts, and maps were thus placed accordingly. As the study website was developed using black and orange as key colors, the report utilizes the same theme. The maps within the report were developed to tie together content in a graphic manifestation, and thus followed the same graphic language. I sought specifically to highlight relevant information by using bright, bold colors for the subject of the maps, while using soft, gray tones and transparencies to soften the context. Thus, roads networks are shown in gray throughout all maps; the study area and municipal boundaries are shown as well, though the coloring is muted such that the most important information stands out.

A typical page from the Greater Newburgh Area Transportation and Land Use Plan Report.

D. Evaluation of Travel Demand Model Results Intersection Analysis A set of 18 traffic analysis locations was selected for assessing the potential effects of the proposed development scenarios (see Figure 4-8). These locations were selected based upon input from Study Area stakeholders and the Study Team’s own observations and professional judgment. These 18 intersections represent key locations along important corridors and a select number of locations within the Villages. They are considered to be a representative set of locations at which the effects of the land use scenarios could be assessed, potential roadway improvement packages outlined, and broad findings generalized for the Study Area as a whole. They do not reflect the only locations that could be affected. The 18 intersections are: • Route 17K and Route 211/Union Street

The travel demand model produced outputs of volumes of new traffic and a “volume to capacity” (“v/c”) ratio at each of the 18 intersections. Net change

REMAKING THE SAN FRANCISCO PENNINSULA CORRIDOR WITH A BICYCLE EXPRESSWAY By Osman Dadi, Research Associate, RPA January 12, 2012

OSMAN DADI • 2014

Accommodating high-speed rail trains in the San Francisco peninsula has been a contentious topic because of potential noise and visual impacts on the surrounding communities. Recently, the California High-Speed Rail Authority announced its support for a “blended approach” that would utilize the existing Caltrain corridor. But what if a solution could be found that ensures grade separation between trains and automobiles while also opening up dramatically enhanced commuting options for bicyclists? This proposition allows another incredible opportunity for the Peninsula that would benefit all communities: integrating a grade-separated bicycle expressway into that new infrastructure. The benefits of a separated cycle expressway are many: just as cars on interstate highways are able to travel faster, without stopping for traffic lights, and thus also in a safer means, an expressway for cyclists would allow bicyclists to do the same. The new route would pass over main roads, eliminating vehicular conflicts and allowing fast travel times. Exits spaced out at quarter or half mile intervals would connect into the existing on street bicycle corridors, creating a network between them. The route would allow bicyclists to bypass some of the busiest arterial roads, reducing conflicts with automobiles and hereby helping automobile traffic move faster, while making the experience safer for cyclists and drivers alike. Just as I-280 and US-101 act as the primary automobile highways along the Peninsula, and Caltrain the primary rail corridor, a bicycle expressway would fill a similar role for bicycles. It would provide a new, direct, and fast grade separated route for workers utilizing bicycling and transit as their primary means of commuting, as well as a dedicated route for recreational bicyclists. The San Francisco peninsula is known for many things, among them a workforce driven by innovative ideas (especially in Silicon Valley), great weather nearly all year round, a culture that largely embraces healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyles, and strong support for biking. The bicycle network of the Bay Area, while quite extensive, is simultaneously also quite disconnected. Particularly in the central Peninsula, there are few dedicated off street bicycle corridors, and routes on streets are frequently disconnected to each other. Thus, there is presently no direct means for a bicyclist to traverse many portions of the Peninsula without mixing into automobile traffic, itself a dangerous proposition given the high speed nature of main routes like El Camino Real or the Expressways around San Jose.

Simultaneously, the existing peninsula Caltrain corridor is slated for a much needed change. The present line has not been significantly upgraded for several decades, but has been planned for large scale electrification for many years. When the California High Speed Rail plan was announced between San Francisco and Los Angeles, an opportunity arose to couple that electrification project with a broader reconstruction that also accommodates high speed rail service by expanding, electrifying, and grade separating the corridor. The configuration of the new route, though still undecided, will likely be elevated on an embankment, elevated on a structure, or (if communities along the route are willing to help fund it) trenched. The benefits of grade separation and electrification alone are enormous: eliminating grade crossings allow faster train speeds, eliminate noise pollution from train horns, and electrification removes diesel fumes and noise. Additionally, automobile conflicts with trains are eliminated, also making it safer and faster for drivers to cross the railway. Ideally, a new bicycle route would be directly integrated into the new Caltrain system, making it extremely easy and efficient to bring your bicycle onto a train, thus extending the reach of that transit system. As a hypothetical example, two cars on the north side of each train (the direction of travel is irrelevant) could be designated bicycle cars, and feature extra room for bicycle storage. Where on current trains bringing bicycles on board requires you to carry them up train stairs and through the carriage doors, this process would be dramatically simplified with level boarding. The northern part of each platform would be designated bicycle loading zones, similar to how we have zones for boarding people with wheelchairs; these would in turn connect directly into the expressway. Thus, a train rider could complete a journey to destinations that are beyond convenient walking and bus distances by connecting to the cycle expressway at the station and biking the remaining distance safely. A critic might ask: how much more would such an addition cost? Do we really need to add a bicycle expressway? Adding a new easement would cost more, yes, but the benefits would be equally numerous. Considering that a rebuilt corridor is already slated to cost several billion dollars (regardless of whether HSR is adopted), adding a bicycle route would add only a small fraction to the grand total, yet would provide a dramatically new and fast means to traverse the Peninsula. A new route would dramatically extend the reach of the Caltrain network, providing another means for transit riders to access locations out of walking distance from stations. Since the region is going to rebuild the Peninsula rail corridor anyway, it should be built completely and properly, with the greatest needs of the metropolis factored in. If a bike sharing network is ever introduced in the Bay Area, it would likely make extensive use of the new cycle expressway. The peninsula has unfortunately become the most

even for the next century. Adding a route would benefit the Peninsula tremendously, helping add to the vibrant discourse of ideas that frequently stem from this portion of the country.

contentious area for accommodating the planned California High Speed Rail line. The debate has largely failed to recognize the incredible potential of reconstruction to change mobility options in that entire region. Failure to integrate biking into this critical piece of infrastructure would mean that the entire Peninsula will miss an opportunity to add new travel means - or anything similar--to the region for decades, possibly
