Date: March 26, 2018 <br /> <br /> <br />To: City of Eugene Hearings Official, c/o Nick Gioello, Associate Planner <br /> <br />From: Massoud Saberian, PE/TE, PTOE <br /> <br />Re: Capitol Hill PUD Tentative Plan Application (PDT 17-1) <br /> <br /> <br />Dear Hearings Official, <br /> <br />I am responding to the Technical Memorandum Transportation, Exhibit G, prepared by <br />Damian Gilbert, PE, for Branch Engineering. My name is Massoud G. Saberian, PE, PTOE <br />and I am a licensed Civil and Traffic Engineer in Oregon, Washington and California with over <br />28 years of professional civil and traffic engineering experience with multiple public agencies <br />on the west coast in general and Oregon in particular. <br /> <br />I received both my Master of Science Degree in Civil/Transportation Engineering and my <br />Bachelor of Science in Civil/Structural Engineering from Oregon State University, Corvallis, <br />OR. in 1981 and 1986 respectively. My licenses in both disciplines have been active and <br />current since they were issued. <br /> <br />I obtained my Professional Civil Engineering License (#14485) in 1989 and Professional <br />Traffic Engineering License in 1992 (#14485) through the required written examination <br />process for both disciplines at the time. Despite changes in licensing process for specialty <br />disciplines like Traffic Engineering, there are many professional traffic engineers who proudly <br />continue to practice in Oregon. Many of them are licensed Professional Civil Engineers or <br />other disciplines as well. <br /> <br />For a limited few who qualify, including myself, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE, <br />a well-established reputable international professional traffic engineering organization) began <br />issuing certification titled (Professional Traffic Operations Engineer) around 2004 which <br />requires many years of professional traffic engineering experience as well as a rigorous <br />written exam similar to Professional Traffic/Civil Engineering exam. <br /> <br />I worked for Washington County from 1990 to 2002 as a Traffic Analyst, Traffic Engineer and <br />Senor Traffic Engineer. Part of my duties included development review and making sure the <br />common civil and traffic engineering practices are not compromised. In addition, I worked as <br />the Senior Traffic/Signal Engineer at the Oregon Department of Transportation Headquarters <br />for three years (2003-2006). Furthermore, I worked as the Principal Transportation Engineer <br />for the City of Lake Oswego for five years (2006-2011) where I continued to review and <br />analyze many development applications. <br /> <br />Since1988, right before Obtaining my Professional Civil Engineering License to the present, I <br />have been operating SABA Consulting and Engineering Services in Beaverton, OR as a part- <br />time consulting business. In the past 30 years, I have prepared, reviewed and provided <br />technical expertise to my clients for over 100 projects in Oregon and Washington. <br /> <br />SABA, C.E.S., 5640 SW Murray Blvd. #20, Beaverton, OR 97005 503-888-7553, sabaces100@gmail.com <br /> <br />
