May 08 2024 - 6:25AM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE:PSN) announced today that the company’s
East Colfax Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project received the
2024 Innovation Transportation Solutions Award from the Women in
Transportation (WTS) Colorado Chapter. WTS is an international
organization dedicated to shaping the future of transportation for
the public good through the global advancement of women. Parsons is
a Champion Partner and active participant in WTS and currently
serves as prime for final design of the East Colfax BRT, in
addition to providing preliminary engineering and NEPA review.
Forty-three female professionals worked on the project from
initiation to design completion, including public and private
sector staff. Roles ranged from planning to environmental analysis,
architectural design, and engineering in addition to leadership
roles.
“This was Denver’s first BRT project and the extraordinary
agency collaboration on this landmark project has been vital to its
success,” said Amber Haines, Deputy Project Manager for Parsons.
“Through ongoing partnership, our team designed a project that
would advance the local community and provide the basis for future
corridors across the area. We look forward to working with our
project partners as we move into final design and the construction
phase.”
The East Colfax BRT corridor will link the Denver Union Station,
Downtown Denver, adjacent communities, transit routes, and the
Anschutz Medical Campus along the key east-west transportation
route. Through a series of design charettes concurrent with direct
outreach to the community, the Parsons team created the design
which would become The Lynx.
The East Colfax Avenue BRT was distinguished by the successful
collaboration with the various stakeholders invested in the
project, including the City and County of Denver Department of
Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) (project owner), City of
Aurora (COA) (project co-owner), Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Denver
Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), and Regional
Transportation District (RTD) (project sponsor and operator).
This project features sustainable and resilient design
attributes that optimize life cycle value, support public health
and safety, and highlight local character of surrounding structures
in the community. Examples of features include energy efficient
lighting fixtures that minimize light pollution, water quality best
management practices to protect water quality, a redundant fiber
optic network to improve system integration, and enhancement of
public space and amenities at the BRT stations.
