Walter Kulash is a principal
and Senior Traffic Engineer with the Orlando-based community-planning
firm of Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin Lopez Rinehart,
Inc. A licensed professional engineer with an academic
background in engineering at North Carolina State University
and Northwestern University, Mr. Kulash has worked on
traffic and transit planning projects throughout the U.S.
and Canada. Clients include private developers, local
and state governments and non-governmental agencies.
Since the early 1990's, Mr.
Kulash has specialized in the rapidly emerging field
of "livable traffic" design. This view of
traffic engineering recognizes that the narrow traffic
planning goals of the past few decades -- moving the
most traffic at the greatest possible speed -- are giving
way to a far more inclusive view. In the new view of
traffic engineering, traffic performance is balanced
against other desired qualities of the street, such
as its value as an "address," its retail friendliness,
and its role as a premiere public space of the community.
