Proposal for CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA KEY TEAM MEMBERS - TOOLE DESIGN ADDIE WEBER, AICP PRINCIPAL URBAN DESIGNER Addie Weber, AICP leads Toole Design’s Atlanta office. She is an urban designer and planner with extensive experience leading and collaborating on interdisciplinary teams. Addie has worked with numerous communities across North America on livable transportation projects that rebalance the public realm for all users – regardless of mode. Addie has worked on first of their kind projects around the country including as the Project Manager for the first Aerotropolis Atlanta Blueprint to guide growth and development around the world’s largest airport; the Dallas, TX Framework Plan which examined the feasibility of removing I-345 in downtown to create a more equitable, resilient, multimodal, and people-centric city; and the Peachtree Street Shared Space Study to redesign a portion of Peachtree Street to function for the next generation of mobility and public life. Addie has served as a national and local panelist for the Urban Land Institute and as resource member for the 69th National Session of the Mayors’ Institute on City Design. She recently spoke at the 2022 National Planning Association’s conference on “Removing Highways from Cities: Correcting America’s Failed Experiment” IAN LOCKWOOD, PE LIVABLE TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER Ian Lockwood is a recognized national leader in sustainable transportation policy and urban design. He has led a wide variety of transportation projects aimed at making communities more walkable, bikeable, equitable, and economically resilient. Ian describes this foundational level of city-making and place-making as “getting the bones right.” As an early step of all his projects, Ian does a quick “X-ray” to determine if a structural problem exists. He finds that if these problems are found and corrected, their symptoms tend to vanish. Three examples of the power of getting the bones right include: the huge gains in walkability, cycling comfort, and livability around the Mount Baker transit station in Seattle, Washington; the large network and urbanization projects occurring around the White Flint Metro station in suburban Maryland; and the revitalization of downtown South Bend, Indiana. Ian has taught several courses on the structure of cities and places. Ian is Harvard University Loeb Fellow, a national guest speaker, lecturer, and author on Complete Streets and livable transportation. Most recently he was interviewed by Strong Towns on his work to build safer and more walkable streets (https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023/5/1/ian-lockwood-thoughts-from-an-engineer). KEVIN LUECKE PRINCIPAL PLANNER Kevin is the Director of Toole Design’s Madison, Wisconsin, office. He is a multimodal transportation planner with a broad background in active transportation planning and policy. Kevin has worked with communities large and small, as well as state departments of transportation, and federal agencies to improve bicycling and walking plans and policies. He is adept at facilitating community engagement and developing solutions that are tailored to and appropriate for each community or region he works with. At Toole Design, Kevin has managed projects that have recommended hundreds of miles of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, researched pedestrian and bicycle issues for the Federal Highway Administration, and conducted numerous public outreach events to engage citizens in various planning activities. ERICA GUIDOBONI, PE, ENV SP PRINCIPAL TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER Erica is Toole Design’s Engineering Director for the Northeastern U.S. and is based in Boston. She is a registered Professional Engineer with extensive experience in transportation engineering and project management. Erica maintains a depth of diverse experience in designing multimodal transportation solutions to support safety and equity objectives. This experience most notably involves the application of Complete Streets standards in the redesign of intersections and corridors in urban settings, enhancing both the vehicular and non-vehicular environments. Erica’s design experience integrates the design principles of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide and the MassDOT Separated Bike Lane Planning & Design Guide into progressive bicycle, pedestrian, and transit user accommodations, enhancing safety and comfort for all roadway users. She led the traffic study and conceptual design effort for Ann Arbor’s Downtown Development Authority’s two-way restoration project along with the William Street Complete Street effort. Both projects rebalanced these key streets for people. 4
