Mr. Jackson has ten years experience in roadway design. He started his career by designing alignments for the numerous roadways and ramps of the complex Springfield I-95 and other interchanges using Microstation/IGRDS. At his next position, he continued to hone his skills by establishing layout and grade elevations for redesigned street intersection and by redesigning storm drainage for roads. Along with redesigning storm drainage, he designed signage and pavement markings for a proposed interchange. While working for the City of Detroit, his responsibilities included review of construction plans, and proposals from consultants and contractors for compliance with city and state road and drainage design standards and specifications. Before joining Davenport Transportation Consulting (formerly John Davenport Engineering, Inc.), Mr. Jackson designed the proposed utility lines profiles, taking into account conflict with other utilities and adjacent structures.
