Years' Experience: 30
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, City of Menifee, CA
Years with Anser: 2 Planned, organized, directed and integrated the City of Menifee's public works and engineering
activities and functions; provided expert professional assistance to City management in areas of
expertise, including engineering, municipal water, wastewater collection, stormwater, street and
landscape maintenance; and performed related duties as required and took a leadership role in
implementation of the goals and objectives of the Public Works and Engineering Department.
Oversaw/managed more than $6M of S131-funded projects combined with $8M in local special sales
tax funds. The projects included various street maintenance projects, including slurry seal, cape seal,
Class I bike paths, Class II bike lanes, and Class IV separated bike lanes. Designed and constructed
various traffic -calming improvements on existing streets throughout the 46.6 square mile City,
including:
• Conditioned 217-acre master -planned Legado development, which consisted of 1,016
single-family homes, to provide roundabouts and curve linear streets with curb bulb -outs at
intersections to increase safety for all modes of travel.
+ Designed a solution at an intersection to eliminate rear -end collisions by utilizing a glue -
down protected berm, which also avoided impacting the railroad right-of-way.
• Improved pedestrian safety by designing and constructing traffic -calming improvements
that popped out curbs and installed rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB) at park
entrances.
Developed unique solutions to add additional bike lanes within the existing right-of-way.
One example is the Goetz Road resurfacing and restriping improvement project that utilized
road dieting to eliminate a travel lane and add a two-mile bike path. Another example is the
McCall Road and Newport Road Bike Lane Project, which utilized road dieting to reduce lane
widths on a four -lane major road to gain enough width to construct over a mile of buffered
bake lanes. This was accomplished without negatively impacting roadway capacity.
• Due to various budget challenges, many schools are eliminating bus programs, which has
resulted in larger traffic volumes. Jonathan utilized a traffic -calming measure called
"Leading Pedestrian Interval" (LPI). This gives pedestrians the opportunity to enter an
intersection three to seven seconds before vehicles are given a green indication, allowing
pedestrians to better establish their presence in the crosswalk before vehicles have priority
to turn left. LPI's provided increased visibility of students crossing the street, and enhanced
safety.

future traffic operations, provide congestion relief, and reduce queue lengths, improve safety
conditions for the unsignalized intersections and access points along the corridor, and provide safer
travel routes for bicyclists and pedestrians. In addition to widening of College Boulevard, the
proposed project would include curb/gutter improvements and relocation of utilities to
accommodate the widened roadway segment, installation of retaining walls and new landscape
parkways, and relocation of bike lanes, lighting, and sidewalks in various locations along College
Boulevard between Waring Road/Barnard Drive and Marcella Street and between Olive Drive and
Old Grove Road. Expansion of the existing College Boulevard right-of-way to accommodate proposed
improvements would require ROW acquisition along segments of the corridor.
