McNamara Drive Roundabout Design
To improve the traffic flow through Paradise, Newfoundland, a roundabout was planned for the intersection of Topsail Road and McNamara Drive. Harbourside Transportation Consultants provided the design of the new roundabout, which would also grant access to the new Intermediate School in Paradise. The work entailed upgrades to the intersection, the access road, and the services to the new school. The design and construction of the McNamara roundabout helped improve Paradise’ overall road networks and provides accessibility to the new Intermediate School.
Paradise Intermediate School Roundabout Design
Harbourside provided the detailed design of the new roundabout on McNamara Drive for the Paradise Intermediate School in Newfoundland. The work included upgrades to the intersection and the access road, and servicing to the new school in the form of water main installation, storm water collection and conveyance, and wastewater collection. Harbourside created the detailed design of single lane roundabout at the intersection of McNamara Drive and new access road, with the provision of expansion to a multi lane roundabout for the future.
Karwood Market Area Traffic Study
Harbourside Transportation Consultants was engaged by the Town of Paradise, Newfoundland, to prepare a Traffic Study determining required road network improvements for the Karwood Market and Octagon Pond development areas over both a five-year and ten-year planning period. Harbourside’s scope of work included information gathering and data collection, trip generation and distribution, existing capacity analysis, conceptualizing the road network and improvements, future capacity analysis, and active transportation considerations.
Route 2 Traffic Study
Harbourside Transportation Consultants was retained in 2015 by the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Transportation and Works (NLDTW) to study the potential impacts of a new interchange being proposed on Route 2, between the Route 1/Route 2 cloverleaf interchange and the Fowler’s Road interchange. Trips generation rates were developed by Harbourside for the years 2020 and 2030 and entered as new zones in the City of St. John’s 2025 VISUM models, which was used to distribute the traffic associated with the growth scenarios.
