Garage 55 Dixon Avenue Extension

The modification and extension of Garage 55 involved the removal of portions of the structure in the second tier of parking, and modifications to the ground floor level in order to accommodate headroom for the southward extension of Dixon Avenue through the parking facility. For this effort, a physical survey was conducted along with structural design of the modifications. The scope included project development, design, and testing and inspection services during construction of the modifications.

The garage grease interceptors were redesigned and relocated ensuring the original terms and agreement under a “Mandatory Referral” between the Montgomery County Government and the municipal water authority were maintained. Coordination was also needed with the Montgomery County Traffic Department on the right-of-way agreement, road alignment, easement details and County maintenance responsibilities. Lighting studies were also provided for the street lighting program in an effort to meet the lighting requirements of each municipality.
