I am managing design and construction for the $462 million Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project, a nine mile dedicated BRT line that will connect St. Paul, Maplewood, Oakdale, Landfall, and Woodbury. The Gold Line will be Minnesota's first BRT line that will operate primarily within exclusive bus only lanes.

This included managing MnDOT staff assigned to the project on a permanent or temporary basis, working closely with Metro Transit and MnDOT personnel, as well as a team of consultants, and acting as a liaison between the project office and MnDOT. Duties included coordinating and reporting on right of way acquisition, traffic, bridge, utility coordination, and cultural resources.
