Session 5C: Curb Management Tuesday, June 25, 2019 Session 5C: Curb Management 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM Welcome to Session 5C: Curb Management. I’m Ryan Zellers, and I’m a Senior Transportation Engineer at the San Diego office of Michael Baker International and serve as a consultant City Traffic Engineer for the small town of Del Mar, just north of San Diego. I’m also one of the past presidents of the ITE San Diego Section back in 2016. We’re here to talk about curb. Curb is my favorite treatment for the edge of pavement, followed closely by curb and gutter, AC berm, and aggregate shoulder. ------- I mean, they’re all good, but if I had to choose one, curb would be it. Apparently we have a lot of fans of curb out in the audience too, or you wouldn’t be here, am I right? So how do you manage that curb? Well, that’s what you’re here to find out! Let’s introduce our panel of experts to see what they have to offer…
