Park Ridge presented a unique land development challenge, including drastic improvements to out-of-date drive thru lanes to meet government regulations and the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Detailed land planning from Robert E. Blue Consulting Engineers helped turn what was once an existing bank pad into a proper site plan for a new retail store with drive thru lanes for a new Starbucks coffee shop. This required working closely with the township and local zoning authorities to accommodate a dramatic increase in vehicle traffic. At the same time, our urban planning experts created a new model for existing parking facilities to better serve customers in a higher traffic area.
