I had the sincere pleasure of working closely with the Capital Projects and Roadway Structures management team for the better part of a year (part-time) and enjoyed every minute of it. I would like to extend a special thanks to members of the executive steering committee, Barbara Goldstein and Frank Yanagimachi, who did heavy lifting during the early and most active phases of the residency, though they have since moved on to do more lifting for other agencies.
