Buffalo’s legacy as a transportation and industrial powerhouse arose from our impressive waterfront at the confluence of Lake Erie, the Niagara River and the Erie Canal. No visit to the Queen City would be complete without a trip to our newly-reinvigorated dockside attractions.
Our waterfront is also home to America’s largest inland Naval Park, the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. The Icebreaker will be held in this Naval Park on the fan-tail of USS Little Rock, a perfect setting for enjoyable evening on the water.
While at the icebreaker, you will enjoy an open bar and appetizers from an award winning caterer along with a full band performing music from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s. We invite you to join us for a great evening with drinks, food, music and the company of friends.
Ice Breaker Tuesday, May30th 7:00 PM - 10:30 PM

Dear Conference Participates,
On behalf of Section 5, I would like to welcome everyone to the shores of Lake Erie in Buffalo for the 77th conference of the New York State Association of Transportation Engineers. Thank you to all conference attendees who traveled to Western New York for this event.
Our theme for this conference is “Rebuilding Buffalo”. Our city continues to rebuild one step at a time. Downtown Buffalo continues to see its historic structures being renovated back to life, complimented with newly constructed buildings, giving a nod to both our rich history and exciting future. The Buffalo waterfront, along both the inner and outer harbors, has marked a major step in realizing the vision of reclaiming our waterfront. Once neglected spaces have been transformed into vibrant recreational destinations for Buffalonians and our visitors to enjoy for years to come.
The concept of rebuilding not only applies to our wonderful city, but to the New York State Association of Transportation Engineers as well. For many years now, our conferences have been rebuilding to further the pride that our members have in our organization. The conferences provide technical education programs for all disciplines that promote the transportation profession, and the opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with fellow transportation professionals.These building blocks strengthen our membership and reinforce the credibility of the New York State Association of Transportation Engineers.
I want to sincerely thank all of the conference vendors, sponsors and presenters.Your time spent devoted to enriching our conference is greatly appreciated. Thank you to all the members of the 77th Annual Conference committee for their hard work and dedication. Countless hours have been spent trying to give our members the best possible experience here in Buffalo, and we are confident that this will be a memorable event.
In the spirit of the City of Good Neighbors, welcome to Buffalo! I hope that you take advantage of all that Buffalo has to offer. If there is anything that our committee can do to enhance your conference experience, just ask – we would be happy to assist you!
Sincerely, Kevin Marracino Kevin P. Marracino, P.E. NYSATE Section 5 General Chairman

Our Goal:
A drastic reduction in traffic deaths.
The more visible traffic devices are, the fewer accidents there are. That’s why 3M focuses on helping drivers navigate through unfamiliar work zones with high visibility temporary traffic control signs. Our retroreflective and fluorescent color technologies not only guide drivers, they help ensure a safer work zone environment even at night and in the rain. More visibility, fewer accidents, reduced deaths—together we can make it happen.
For over 75 years, 3M has been at the forefront of road safety innovation. 3M.com/RoadSafety

TECHNICAL SESSIONSWednesday, May 31, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Room A: We Are All Responsible for Good Roads: An Engineering review of good ideas1.0 PDH – PEPresented by: David P. Orr, P.E., Ph.D., Director / Senior Engi-neer for the Cornell University Local Roads Program.
David will provide a review of what makes good roads from state highways to the lowest volume local road.
The session will: •Review what makes a good road
•Explain the total costs of a highway for the users
•Identify low cost solutions applicable for all highways
Room B: NYSDOT Bridge Safety Assurance Program1.0 PDH – PE, LS & LAPresented by: Lallman Rambali, P.E., NYSDOT Region 5
The most common cause of bridge failures in the United States is from floods scouring bed material from around the founda-tion of piers and abutments. Approximately sixty percent of all bridge failures occur because of hydraulic forces. Minimizing future flood damage to New York bridges requires the atten-tion of bridge inspectors to understand how bridges are coded to represent is vulnerability to scour failure, and how the physical stream channel changes that occurs influence the changes of this code. Because it is not economically feasible to construct all bridges to ensure absolute invulnerability from scour dam-age, some risks of failure from future floods may have to be accepted. However, the added cost of making a bridge less vul-nerable to scour is small when compared to the total cost of a failure, which can easily be 3 to 10 times the cost of the bridge itself. The scour vulnerability of each bridge is identified in Na-tional Bridge Inventory (NBI) by the Item 113 (designated by Codes 0-9, T, N, and U). A Bridge Inspector should be able to identify any hydraulic induced changes that may influence the changing of this code, which result in corrective action (POA) be taken by the bridge owner to minimize any hazard (public safety) at the structure.
Room E: Innovations in Noise Barrier Walls1.0 PDH – PE & LAPresented by: Eric HumphriesU.S. Sales Director for Armtec LP
Highway noise barriers have traditionally been erected for one purpose; to block highway noise. Did you know there are now noise barriers that can also; clean the air, act as a firebreak or are crash-tested to act as a safety rail? From improved aesthetics to increased functionality, the standard reflective precast noise barrier is the equivalent of using a rotary dial phone in this mod-ern age of smart-phones, skype and social media. This presen-tation will give an overview of some of the leading technologies in the noise barrier and air quality market.
Room D: Rebuilding of the Williamsville Toll Barrier1.0 PDH – pendingPresented by: Mark J. Mruk, P.E., Mott MacDonald
The New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) had un-dertaken an Environmental Impact Statement to determine the Alternatives to provide capacity improvements of the Wil-liamsville Toll Barrier (WTB). Mott MacDonald was retained in 2008 initially to advance final design of improvements to relocate the WTB to a facility located east of Clarence, New York, however lower than anticipated traffic growth, lack of increased E-Zpass penetration in the Western New York area and the changing dynamic of Toll Collection forced NYSTA to defer major relocation investment associated with this barrier. Therefore, in 2012, the null alternative was selected as the in-tended course of action. In lieu of major relocation, with a price tag in excess of 100 million dollars, an appropriately scaled solution was defined to implement operational improvements instead to meet capacity needs for a 10-year time horizon. This presentation provides a history of the project decision making steps and focuses on implementation of the various operational improvements of the project. These included implementing lane configuration changes at Interchange 50 to reduce weaving and increase safety, reconfiguration of the plaza approach lanes to improve access to E-Zpass only Lanes, addition of higher speed, 20 mph E-ZPass lanes on entry, and the addition of a new cash toll lane to reduce wait times and queueing during peak periods. The lane addition necessitated demolition and reconstruction of the Toll Utility Building and full relocation of the facility revenue control equipment.

TECHNICAL SESSIONSWednesday, May 31, 10:20 AM - 11:20 AM
Room A: Returning the Riverway to Niagara Falls State Park 1.0 PDH – PE, LS & LAPresented by: Jeffrey Lebsack, PE, AICP and Andrew Giarrizzo, RLA
The General Plan for the Improvement of the Niagara Reserva-tion by Fredrick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1886 en-visioned a park with “agreeable natural character, harmonious with that of the undisturbed parts.” This ideal was significantly altered in the early 1960’s with the construction of the Niagara Power Project and the Robert Moses Parkway. The presenta-tion will discuss the engineering and landscape design chal-lenges associated with designing and building new roadway, path, and landscape features that respect the original vision of Olmsted and Vaux. Specific topics of interest will include the gateway tree alley, roundabout and entry wall, infrastructure for the new pond, soil, plant selection, and the remediation of con-taminated areas.
Room B: Using Reclaimed Materials in Hardscape Projects. 1.0 PDH – PE & LAPresented by: Scott Smith, P.E.Experienced Brick & Stone
Learn about historic reclaimed materials and how you can in-corporate them in today’s designs. We will discuss the wealth of reclaimed materials available today—including street brick pavers, cobblestones, curbing, stone sidewalk slabs, stone block, and building elements—and how you can incorporate them into future projects. You can experience samples of these materials to understand each of their unique characteristics, and see ex-amples of completed projects, including creative, atypical uses and ideas that combine multiple reclaimed materials.
To start, you’ll hear a brief overview of historic brick manu-facturing and installation processes and stone sources. We’ll discuss how to install these unique, sometimes non-uniform materials, including permeable pavement applications, options for ADA-compliant installations and the specialized equipment and techniques needed to cut and shape certain reclaimed ma-terials. Because using reclaimed pavers contributes to the sus-tainability of construction, we will also provide information on LEED and SITES credits you can earn for using these materials.
Room E: The Gateway Project1.0 PDH – pendingPresented by: Timothy Haynes, P.E. and Craig Mozrall, P.E. NYSDOT Region 5
Presentation will deal with the history of the Peace Bridge bor-der crossing the challenges of dealing with the environmental processing and a rushed design on a complicated project. Plans to expand the infrastructure languished over a long period of time and then were expedited when the political will for prog-ress materialized. Many cost overruns occurred due to the expe-dited design schedule and the complexity of the project. High-lights of this project include Installation of a new ramp from the Peace Bridge Plaza to the I-190 NB over the CSXT RR with limited space, installation of Shoreline Trail Truss Bridge over the CSXT Railroad and the NYS Thruway and placement of New concrete pavement on the existing ramps while main-taining access to the Peace Bridge. This project also repaved the Porter Ave bridge over I-190 and CSX, included a Concrete Roundabout on Porter Ave with entrances to the NYS Thruway NB and a new entrance off Porter Ave to The Peace Bridge Plaza. This project also eliminated the Baird drive connection between Porter Ave and the Peace Bridge Plaza and restored Front Park to more closely reflect the original Frederick Law Olmsted design.
Room D: Geothermal Heated Bridges, and the Geomechanical Impacts1.0 PDH - PEPresented by: Dr. Kamelia Atefi Monfared, SUNY Buffalo
The presentation is composed of two parts. First, a brief history is presented on utilization of geothermal energy, with a focus on deicing and heating bridges and pavements. Advantages and challenges of heated bridges are discussed. The main compo-nents of a heated bridge system are introduced. Geothermal res-ervoirs and injection operations required for utilization of the heat source are presented. The second part of the presentation focuses on the geomechanical impacts of geothermal opera-tions, demonstrating the importance of a correct understanding of the involved coupled processes.

TECHNICAL SESSIONSWednesday, May 31, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Room A: Preserving Bridge Decks with Fast Track Hydrodemolition and Latex Modified Concrete Overlays1.0 PDH – PEPresented by: Patrick Martens, P.E., Independent Consultant
Fast Track Hydrodemolition with Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) is an effective and expedient process for performing bridge deck rehabilitation and preservation. This method has been used on thousands of bridges across the country. Hy-drodemolition takes jackhammers off the bridges and provides not only a selective removal of all deteriorated or weakened concrete, but also provides a superior surface profile for which to bond the LMC overlay. The process has been proven to pro-vide upwards of 25+ years of extended service life to bridge decks.
Room B: Gibsonville Stream Restoration at Letchworth State Park. 1.0 PDH – PE & LAPresented by: Marc Kenward, P.E. and James J. Janora, McMahon & Mann Consulting Engineers, P.C.
A road to the historic Gibsonville settlement was originally aligned along the side of a steep valley slope in what would later become Letchworth State Park. Ongoing stream erosion at the toe, and soil slope instability along the valley side prompted the Park to place a culvert along the stream channel, cover the culvert with up to 20 feet of fill, and realign the road. After al-most 40 years, stream hydraulics began causing erosion again, and the culvert showed signs of structural deterioration.
Therefore, the Park determined that the culvert configuration needed to be remediated. The innovative design included aban-doning the culvert in-place and restoring the stream to surface flow. Elements of the design included re-grading the stream valley to help slope stability, restoring a stream channel that resembled the geomorphic characteristics of nearby reference stream reaches, and building a drop structure that conveys the stream flow non-erosively to the return channel. Construction of the project was successfully completed in 2014.
Room E: Self-Leveling Manhole Technology - Protecting the Integrity of Your Roadways and Minimizing Maintenance Costs. 1.0 PDH PE, LS & LAPresented by: Craig Coggins and Brian Steitz, Syracuse Castings/EJ
This presentation will provide an introduction and overview of the self-leveling manhole technology, it’s materials, compo-nents, functionality, and applications. The attendees will gain an understanding of the roadway problems this technology is designed to address, as well as current progress with the NYS-DOT as it relates to this technology.
Room D: Preparing for the New Mobility Ecosystem1.0 PDH – pendingPresented by: Koorosh Olyai, P.E., Stantec Consulting
Transportation is evolving. In fact, a new mobility ecosystem has started presenting itself within society today, backed by rap-idly evolving technology, new operational strategies, and inno-vative business models atypical within our industry.
Many new technologies are enabling this transformation to on-demand, real-time transportation. These include mobile communications, the Internet of Things (IoT), and predictive analytics. These technologies are driving new business models and challenging existing policies and practices. With the prom-ise of automation, our society is poised for disruptive change. Automaton and the connected environment promise to bring greater benefits in safety, mobility, efficiency, and accessibil-ity. To fully take advantage of these opportunities, the way we think, organize, and operate our transportation systems, must be rethought.
This presentation will address this shift in thinking to help agencies and communities prepare for this transformation. To adequately prepare for these new mobility tools, comprehensive planning must be backed up by testing, operational pilots, and applicable policies to ensure that these new technologies ad-equately address the mobility needs of our communities.

Room D: No Other Way Safely: A DOT’s call for Survey Grade Mobile Mapping1.0 PDH – pendingPresented by: Michael R. Frecks, PLS
The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Safety Coun-cil list land surveying as one of the most dangerous occupa-tions. You will commonly find a land surveyor standing in the middle of a busy street sighting through a transit at a survey target blocks away while cars zoom by on each side or set-up along a shoulder during high traffic usage. This presentation will address two projects where lane closures, flaggers, look-outs and warning signage just weren’t enough to safely doc-ument for needed survey grade information for overlay on a highly congested high-speed, 2-lane heavy traffic highway void of shoulders. After evaluation by the Minnesota DOT, Terres-trial Mobile Mapping Scanning (TMLS) was the answer to this dangerous environment for their surveyors.

Room A: Replacement of the Elmwood Avenue Bridge1.0 PDH – PE, LS & LAPresented by: Michael Croce, P.E. and Michael Davidson, P.E., Bergmann Associates
In late 2013, funding was set aside by the New York State Leg-islature on short notice for a long overdue replacement of this deficient bridge, but there was a catch. In order to retain the funding, a design approval document, public outreach, agency coordination, permits, and a complete set of construction docu-ments would need to be delivered in less than one year. While this might have been a challenge on any project, this bridge sits within Frederick Law Olmsted’s famed Delaware Park and passes over the Scajaquada Expressway; the subject of an on-going corridor transformation effort. Today a new two-span, $11-million-dollar bridge crossing both NYS Route 198 and Scajaquada Creek is a reality. Context sensitive architectural features and provisions for artwork will make the new bridge a unique part of its cultural and historic surroundings. This is the story of how consensus was reached, design challenges were overcome, and a significant context sensitive bridge project was delivered in a short time frame.
Room B: Developing a Wildlife Corridor Protection and Enhancement Plan for the CLOCA Jurisdiction. 1.0 PDH – PE & LAPresented by: Jackie Scott, Central Lake Ontario Conserva-tion Authority
The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) is one of 36 Conservation Authorities in Ontario, Canada. The CLOCA jurisdiction is located on the north shore of Lake On-tario, just east of Toronto, and the Authority manages a total of 24 watersheds encompassing an area of 638 square km. Its mandate is to establish and undertake programs to promote the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in partnership with local Municipalities and the Province.
As part of this mandate, CLOCA has been working to devel-op a set of planning documents that address watershed health, including maintaining and improving habitat connectivity for wildlife.
Corridor connectivity was assessed using ArcGIS modeling. Movement barriers were identified by first mapping the inter-sections between the Wildlife Habitat Network and the trans-portation network. Combined, the corridor connectivity and barrier assessment maps provide a more complete picture of how wildlife movement might be occurring in the CLOCA ju-risdiction.
Room E: Amphibians Hit the Road: Assessing Roadway Mor-tality and Ecopassage Utilization along a Two-lane Highway 1.0 PDH - LAPresented by: Charlene Hopkins
As roadways reduce amphibian population sizes, disrupt con-nectivity, and degrade habitat mitigation measures are increas-ingly being implemented. Barriers and ecopassages are a com-mon strategy used to mitigate roadway impacts. Barriers limit access to roadways and may direct animals toward ecopassages, which are corridors designed to conduct animals safely over or under the roadway. The effectiveness of these mitigation mea-sures for small animals remains poorly studied. We quantified levels of roadway mortality, ecopassage use, and amphibian populations, to assess the effectiveness of a barrier-ecopassage system along a two-lane highway. We also conducted roadway crossing behavior observations. We will be presenting our find-ings thus far and directions for future research.
Room D: High Performance HP Sewer Solutions1.0 PDH – PEPresented by: Ian Kuchman, ADS
Sewer pipe is often more than just a couple of lines on a set of plans, or boiler plate text in a specification manual. What do these specifications mean, and what kind of performance should we expect? ADS will be presenting on different types of sewer pipe, and differentiating the specifications that make var-ious types of pipe unique, including AASHTO LRFD structural design, material engineering properties, and joint performance / post-installation inspection. The presentation will also provide some insight on how a project manual can be crafted to provide the most competitive bidding environment to reduce material costs to the owner, based on a performance based specification versus a prescription based specification.

Room A: The Revitalization of the Nation’s Oldest State Park1.0 PDH – pendingPresented by: Mark W. Thomas, Western District Director for NYS OPRHP
Since 2012, Niagara Falls State Park has undergone a revi-talization of its landscape while paying homage to Olmsted design concepts. Thanks to over $70 million in funding from Governor Cuomo, the once “shabby and underfinanced” referred to by the New York Times in 2011 is no more. The sparkle is back on the crown jewel of the state park system and the over 8 million visitors a year can now say that they had a first class experience at Niagara Falls State Park. However, while the bulk of the revitalization is nearing completion, one large project remains and that is the replacement of the pedes-trian bridges to Goat Island.
Room B: Roller Compacted Concrete Design and Application1.0 PDH – PEPresented by: Bill Cuerdon, Executive Director of the American Concrete Pavement Association’s New York State Chapter

TECHNICAL SESSIONSThursday, June 1, 2:10 PM - 3:10 PM
Room A: The New York State Community Risk and Resiliency Act: Mainstreaming climate change in Transportation Design 1.0 PDH – PE, LS & LAPresented by: Mark DePaul Lowery, State Department of Environmental Conservation
The purpose of the Community Risk and Resiliency Act (CRRA), enacted in 2014, is to ensure that certain state monies, facility-siting regulations and permits include con-sideration of sea-level rise, flooding and storm surge. This presentation will describe Department of Environmental Con-servation’s approach to implementing CRRA through adoption of State Flood Risk Management Guidance and state sea-level rise projections, and their incorporation into DEC programs. Additional CRRA guidance on the use of natural measures to enhance resiliency and consideration of flooding in public in-frastructure smart growth assessments, and model local laws to enhance resiliency will be discussed. Special emphasis will be given to implications for transportation infrastructure design guidance.
Room B: Advanced Concrete Materials1.0 PDH – PEPresented by: Dr. Ravi Ranade, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at UB
This presentation begins with an overview of advanced concrete materials such as Ultra-high performance concretes (UHPC), high strength concretes, high ductility concretes, and many oth-ers that have evolved over the last 6-7 decades. A brief history and classification of these advanced materials is included in this overview. Following that, two specific material design philoso-phies – one focusing on achieving high strength and pre-crack durability, and the other focusing on achieving high ductility and post-crack durability – are discussed. The importance of ef-fective fiber-matrix interaction for achieving tensile ductility in concrete is underlined. Then, we will consider a few structural applications that demonstrate the role of advanced concretes in enhancing structural durability, resilience and sustainability. The presentation will end with a few highlights of advanced concrete materials research at UB and talk about future research and potential applications
Room E: Which Way to the Beach? Mussel Salvage and Re-location Efforts in Support of the I-86 over Allegheny River Critical Bridge Repairs 1.0 PDH – pendingPresented by: Johanna Duffy, CWB® (Barton & Loguidice, DPC) and Kimberly Lorenz, RLA (NYSDOT Region 5)
During a 2014 bridge inspection, significant scour was noted along a pier of the bridge structure that carries I-86 over the Allegheny River (BIN 6600159) within the Seneca Nation of Indians Territory in Cattaraugus County, New York. An ini-tial threatened and endangered species screening resulted in the identification of federally protected species documented within or adjacent to the project area, including two state and federally endangered freshwater pearly mussel species (clubshell mussel (Pleurobema clava) and rayed bean mussel (Villosa fabalis)). Upon further review and completion of a pearly mussel survey, it was determined that unavoidable impacts to mussel popula-tions and suitable habitat areas would result from the necessary repair of the bridge and critical scour. Formal Endangered Spe-cies Act (ESA) Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was initiated by the FHWA and a Biological Assessment and subsequent Biological Opinion was completed. The critical nature of the repairs, timing of the mussel surveys and relocation, as well as, the limited window to work outside of the stream restriction dates added extra challenges to the project timeline and task completion. The mussel relocation was completed in 2016 by the State University of New York at Oneonta – Research Foundation. Over 500 pearly mussels were tagged and relocated. This presentation provides details of the parallel tracks and intersecting features of the project and how they all combined to meet the project timeline.
Room D: Bridge Deck Preservation Methods1.0 PDH – pendingPresented by: John Picard, P.E., NYSDOT Region 5
The presentation will discuss importance of bridge deck pres-ervation and current methods used to increase the service life of concrete bridge decks. Different deck preservation methods including concrete sealers, thin polymer overlays, and modified cementitious overlays will be discussed using project examples of bridges in NYS.

TECHNICAL SESSIONSThursday, June 1, 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Room A: Geosynthetic Solution for Paved & Unpaved Applications 1.0 PDH – PE LS & LAPresented by: Doug McCluskey, Everett J Prescott
This presentation covers the use of pavement reinforcement products to retard reflective cracking in asphalt overlays, to add life to the overlay and reduce maintenance costs and paving in-tervals. Also discussed are Tensar Geogrids in the construction of paved and unpaved roads, parking lots, etc., with an empha-sis on subgrade stabilization and pavement optimization.
Room B: History of Zoo Design1.0 PDH – PE & LAPresented by: Gwen A. Howard, RA, LEED APFoit-Albert Associates, Architecture, Engineering & Survey-ing, PC
You have all been to a zoo but you were probably looking at the animals. Practical considerations for animal habitats and exhib-its go far beyond just providing a “pretty” space for the animal. Most of the time, there is as much, if not more, going on un-derground or behind the scenes - similar to many transportation projects. Learn about the evolution of zoo design and the prac-tical applications for contemporary exhibit design. Integration of MEP disciplines in natural habitats and site design combine animal husbandry, landscape issues, stormwater management, complex plumbing and filtration system with the fine detail of exhibit design.
Room E: Engineering on the Edge – Maid of the Mist Winter Storage Facility1.0 PDH - pendingPresented by: John Hubert, P.E., WSP|Parsons Brinckerhoff
The Maid of the Mist is a one-of-a-kind boat tour experience operating at the base of Niagara Falls. After 128 years of con-tinuous operation, the Maid was facing closure after losing its operations lease with the Ontario Provincial Government, in-cluding its docking and storage facility on the Canadian shore. The Maid could continue to operate in the US under a lease with New York State; however, a US storage facility was required within about 18 months. Without this facility, the Maid would go out of business.
The only viable location for the facility was on the remains of the Schoellkopf Power Plant, which fell into the gorge in the mid-1950’s. The location is at the bottom of the gorge with no vehicular or marine access for construction equipment. Not only did the facility have to be designed and constructed in 18 months, it had to obtain approvals and permits from the land owner, regulatory agencies, and other involved agencies and parties. In addition to the timeline of the project, numerous en-gineering and construction challenges had to be overcome with the project.
Room D: NYSDOT Projects on Seneca Nation Territories1.0 PDH – pendingPresented by: Sanjay Singh, P.E., NYSDOT Region 5
Some of the projects of Region 5 NYSDOT are located on Seneca Nation Territories. Even though geographically lo-cated within NY State, Seneca Nation is a US Government-recognized sovereign nation. Consequently, state highways and bridges located within these territories lie on Nation land. Pro-gressing NYSDOT projects in these locations involve steps be-yond those outlined in the Project Development Manual. These steps include execution of a Project Specific Agreement, nego-tiation of Project Monitoring, consultations with Nation’s De-partments of Transportation, Tribal Historic Preservation, En-vironmental Conservation, Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO), Legal Affairs, etc., and compliance with applicable codes, rules and policies.

2017 TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR
DONALD F. MATTIMORE
SECTION 7
Section 7 is pleased to present Donald F. Mattimore as Section 7’s 2017 Transportation Professional Engineer of the Year.
Don graduated from Clarkson University in 1992 and began his career with the Department of Transportation that same year as a Junior Engineer in the Regional Structures Group. Don obtained his Professional Engineering license in 1997 and was promoted to Civil Engineer II as a Bridge Inspection Team Leader in 1999. He was then promoted to a Civil Engineer III in the Regional Planning Office where he served many functions with the majority of his time as the supervisor of the Local Let program for Region 7. Last spring, during Conference 76, Don became the Lewis County Resident Engineer.
Don joined the Association of Transportation Engineers in 1993 and was imme-diately thrown into the mix as Section 7 was hosting Conference 54 in February
1994 in Lake Placid. Don helped out wherever he was needed. He increased his duties for Conference 65 in Alexandria Bay and served as Committee Chair for the Entertainment and Tours Committee. And last spring, for Conference 76 in Lake Placid, Don stepped up his participation even further by answering the call and serving as the Committee Chair of the Registration Committee. Considering the remote location from the Regional office, the separation of the hotels from the Conference Center, and the need to register golfers at the golf course, Don and his committee pulled it off nicely.
Don owns and operates the Whitetail Springs Deer Farm in Croghan, NY. He annually donates several deer to the Venison Donation, Feed the Hungry Program. This is a huge boost for that program. Don also helps with the design and stamping of house plans for fire victims that are getting their lives back on track. Section 7 has been and continues to be a support group for the Thousand Islands Chapter of Habitat for Humanity and he has been a large part of this effort.
Don is an avid outdoorsman that enjoys a variety of activities with his adult children as well as serving his local commu-nity any way he can.

Cave of the Winds, Maid of the Mist, and Niagara Falls State ParkWednesday, May 31, 2017 – 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Cave of the Winds: Journey with us down into the Niagara Gorge for a breathtaking one-of-a-kind view of the Falls with the Cave of the Winds tour. Gear up in a souvenir rain poncho and sandals that have been specially designed to nav-igate the Hurricane Deck.
Guests on the Cave of the Winds Niagara Falls tour follow wooden walkways along Niagara River to the Hurricane Deck, just a few feet away from the torrents of Niagara Falls. Here, rushing Bridal Veil Falls creates tropical storm-like conditions. Nowhere else on Earth gets you closer to the Falls than Cave of the Winds Niagara!
Maid of the Mist: Looking for a fun way to “explore the roar”? The Niagara Falls Maid of the Mist tour takes visitors on an excursion into the basin of Niagara Falls State Park’s Horseshoe Falls. The Maid of the Mist boat tour in Niagara Falls, NY has been described by generations of visitors as one of the highlights of their trip.
A favorite Niagara Falls State Park attraction for more than 150 years, the Maid of the Mist journey begins at the Ob-servation Tower, where guests are given a souvenir rain poncho to wear and board the double-deck Maid of the Mist tour boat. From there, the boat ferries past the base of the American Falls, and onto the basin of Horseshoe Falls–the dramatic passage leading you through the roiling waterfall whitewater and massive rock formations. The Maid of the Mist returns guests to shore with newfound appreciation of the power and grandeur of Niagara Falls Niagara Falls State Park: Today, the park’s signature attrac-tion, the majestic Niagara Falls, is the dramatic apex of the free-flowing waters of four of the Great Lakes into the Ni-agara River Gorge. But that wasn’t always the case. Dur-ing the Industrial Revolution of the early 19th Century, the natural beauty of Niagara Falls began to suffer as earnest industrialists built mills and factories along the river to har-ness its power. By the late 1860s, a small band of early en-vironmentalists, including landscape architect Frederick
Law Olmsted, who were concerned over the river’s waning flow, founded the Free Niagara movement. The movement believed that the natural beauty of the land surrounding the Falls should be protected from commercial interests and ex-ploitation, and remain free to the public.
Today, the oldest American State Park retains Olmsted’s vi-sion by staying committed to maintaining native vegetation, preserving its unparalleled vistas and providing public ac-cess. Visitors from around the world are entranced by the thundering wonder of Niagara Falls, a grand tribute to the men and women who fought to preserve it for all.

The Darwin Martin HouseWednesday, May 31, 2017 – 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The multi-structure estate (1903-05) that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Darwin D. Martin is a masterpiece of 20th cen-tury architecture. The Martin House is widely considered one of Wright’s finest Prairie Houses – a signature work from the early years of his celebrated career. Wright himself re-ferred to the Martin House complex as “the opus” and kept the site plan pinned to his drawing table for close to fifty years.
The Martin House + Tour will take you to all the spaces included on the Martin House Tour, plus the second floor of the Martin House, the first and second floor of the Barton House (1903) the first Prairie house built on the site and the first floor of the Gardener’s Cottage (1909) where you will see Wright’s concept for affordable housing beautifully executed. Along the way, your docent will expand on the Martin/Wright story to provide a more detailed context for this architectural masterpiece. This tour is two-hours and is not wheelchair accessible: there is considerable walking, standing and stair-climbing in-volved. Part of the tour is outside.
Today the Martin House Restoration Corporation is bringing the Martin House complex back to its former magnificence in the most ambitious restoration of a Frank Lloyd Wright site ever undertaken. Three of the original elements — the pergola, conservatory and carriage house, which were demolished decades ago, are rebuilt in the first-ever recon-struction of Wright buildings. The historic site is operated as a house museum and will remain open for tours throughout the restoration.
Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site and The Albright–Knox Art GalleryThursday, June 1, 2017 – 8:45 AM - 11:30 AM Albright-Knox Art Gallery:
For more than 150-years, the Albright-Knox has collected, conserved, and exhibited the art of its time, often working directly with living artists. This tradition has given rise to one of the world’s most extraordinary collections of modern and contemporary art.
The museum’s collections span some of the greatest mo-ments in art through the centuries, beginning with its first acquisition, The Marina Piccola, Capri, 1859, by Albert Bierstadt—both the first painting and the first work gifted by an artist to enter the museum’s collection. Impressionism and post-Impressionism are well represented with works by leading nineteenth-century European artists such as Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Vincent van Gogh. Cubism, Surrealism, Constructivism, and other movements from the revolutionary early years of the 20th century come to life through significant works by Georges Braque, André Derain, Frida Kahlo, Fernand Léger, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Piet Mondrian, Georgia O’Keeffe, Alexander Rodchenko, and Pablo Picasso.
Theodore Roosevelt’s Inaugural Site: Experience TR’s un-usual 1901 inauguration like never before. With a combina-tion of historically restored rooms and interactive exhibits, you’ll feel as if you are part of the events of that fateful September, while gaining a new perspective on the issues Roosevelt faced during his presidency.
Immigration, the role of the U.S. in global affairs, race rela-tions, big business, the use of our natural resources…these issues dominate today’s headlines, just as they did more than a century ago, when Theodore Roosevelt become the 26th President of the United States on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. Now you can step back in time and into the world that TR knew, through a new powerful immersive experi-ence of sight, sound and interaction. Walk where he walked, see and hear the challenges he faced, and get a sense of what it was like to lead our nation during such a pivotal time in its history.

THANK YOU! - CONFERENCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Restoring a historic park at Niagara FallsWhen the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation wanted to return Niagara Falls State Park to its original look, they turned to Mott MacDonald to design a new “Riverway,” evoking the original design intent of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux.
The new Park roadway includes a gateway roundabout and a winding roadway flanked by a contemplative pond, an impressive entry wall, extensive walkways, and vast landscaped areas. We’re delighted to help restore the setting of one of America’s great natural resources.
