FEATURED PROJECTS
DAVENPORT provided site/civil engineering and traffic design services as part of a design/build team for the new 650+ vehicle parking structure. The five-story structure, completed in June 2020, is located on a one-acre site on the north side of East First Street, between North Chestnut and North Church Streets in downtown Winston-Salem. The deck is bounded to the north by the existing Wells Fargo parking structure and was constructed to allow ingress and egress between both parking structures.As part of pre-design investigatory services, DAVENPORT prepared a required Traffic Impact Study for the proposed garage; helping to establish required ingress/egress routes and necessary re-striping of a public right-of-way. DAVENPORT’s site/civil design team then prepared necessary civil drawings, including public right-of-way plans, in coordination with the contractor. DAVENPORT’s civil team assisted the client through the permitting process; including stormwater management through the City of Winston-Salem and erosion and sediment control through NCDEQ. DAVENPORT’s civil staff also aided the client through the bidding process by way of RFI response and provided construction administration assistance and as-built documentation.
DAVENPORT was selected by Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools to provide transportation engineering services as part of already established proposed pedestrian and traffic improvements along Northwest Boulevard at Wiley Middle School and RJ Reynolds High School. The multi-school campus is located in a highly congested area, and has experienced many parking and safety issues.
DAVENPORT worked closely with its client and the City of Wilmington to provide the necessary improvements needed for the proposed development along Military Cutoff Road in Wilmington, NC. DAVENPORT prepared the above flythrough animation to help convey the improvements adjacent to the site to city council and the general public. City Council has approved this project and the client is now able to move forward with its proposed project.
DAVENPORT provided transportation engineering services for the Burke Mill Village retail development in Winston-Salem, NC. The Burke Mill Village retail development is located on the east side of S. Stratford Road between Frontis Street and Burke Mill Road. The development consists of just over 100,000 square feet of retail space and a 7,500 square foot restaurant. DAVENPORT was brought on board to provide the best outcome for all parties involved. Given our firm’s relationship with the community and knowing what the community wanted, DAVENPORT made recommendations for improvements that were satisfactory to the community, the City, and willingly supplied by the developer. DAVENPORT’s completed scope included a Transportation Impact Analysis, Traffic Data Collection, Conceptual Design, and a City Council Presentation.

DAVENPORT was engaged by NCDOT to design the signal modifications required after the repaving and restriping of Franklin Boulevard generated a 5 lane section with center turn lanes. A total of 16 existing signalized intersections were affected by the changes and required signal modifications to accommodate the new lane designations.
