Walnut Capital Partners, Inc.

Westmoreland County, PA

​

Route 30 is a heavily utilized commercial corridor.

McCandless Crossings

AdVenture Development, LLC

Allegheny County, PA

David E. Wooster and Associates, Inc. was contracted by AdVenture Development to perform a traffic impact study and Highway Occupancy Permit plans for a large-scale retail development located at the northern tier suburbs of Pittsburgh. In itself, McCandless Crossings boasts 1.2 million sq ft of retail, medical, office, residential, and entertainment space with numerous anchor stores. The site is also bounded by mix of land uses that include UPMC Passavant Hospital and LaRoche College. 

Wooster was creative in its final access management plans and improvements to maintain the integrity of the limited access constraints along McKnight Road (SR 4003) by adding capacity through turn lane modifications and traffic signal control enhancements. These techniques reduced the overall costs while significantly improving the operations and circulation of the external and internal roadway network. Right-of-way needs were minimal and limited to minor impacts adjacent to site grading.​

Oakmont Walgreens

Paradise Development Group

Allegheny County, PA

The Paradise Development Group had a vision to turn the site of an abandoned gas station at the corner of Hulton Road and Allegheny Avenue into a Walgreens Pharmacy. In order to achieve this, a traffic signal was installed at the intersection of Hulton Road, Allegheny Avenue, Allegheny River Boulevard, and the adjacent Allegheny Railway. Due to passenger car congestion and railway activity, the residents of Oakmont Borough had been searching for a traffic solution to this complex intersection for a number of years. The Paradise Development Group sought the services of David E. Wooster and Associates, Inc. to undertake the difficult task of designing and constructing this very complex traffic signal control for the intersection. With the addition of more complex signals, extended turn lanes, and updated lane markings, the intersections became much safer and more efficient.
