Currently under construction, the Carlsbad Desalination Project will become the nation’s largest seawater desalination facility when it’s completed, providing an estimated onethird of all locally generated water in San Diego County. In addition to the plant, a 10-mi. (16 km), large-diameter conveyance pipeline to the Water Authority’s Second Aqueduct in San Marcos is being constructed by Poseidon Resources, a private, investor-owned company that develops water and wastewater infrastructure.

“We’re trying to diversify our water supply,” said Frank Belock, deputy general manager of the Water Authority. Recent droughts have encouraged the Water Authority to include several optional sources for water, including conservation. Desalinated water is expected to account for 7 percent of the area’s total supply by 2020. “Seawater desalination will provide a local, drought-proof supply of water to our semi-arid region and will improve the reliability of San Diego County’s water supply,” said Gina Molise, senior public affairs representative see PLANT page 50

ASA Supports Court Decision ARB to Enforce Denying Transfer of Case In-Use Off-Road A federal appeals court was correct in its decision not to dismiss or transfer a case from its Texas venue — where a construction project and all of its subcontractors were located — to a far off jurisdiction in Virginia where the general contractor specified in its subcontract that any dispute resolution must take place, the American Subcontractors Association told the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, ASA said in its amicus brief filed on Aug. 23 in support of the subcontractor in Atlantic Marine Constr. Co. v. J-Crew Management Inc., should affirm the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. “Forum selection clauses in construction contracts are unenforceable under the laws of both Texas and Virginia when the clause requires litigation to proceed in a

forum outside the state where the project was located,” ASA wrote. In the construction industry, out-ofstate general contractors commonly require their subcontractors to sign forum-selection and choice of law clauses, arguing that it’s more convenient and less expensive for them to resolve disputes in a jurisdiction of their choice. “Subcontractors are often left with the choice of accepting boilerplate terms in a subcontract form provided by the general contractor or losing the subcontract to a local competitor,” ASA told the Supreme Court. “In the best of times this is little of a choice. And in difficult economic times, there is really no choice at all for a company needing work to stay alive.” ASA argued in its brief that Atlantic see ASA page 70

Vehicle Regulation On Sept. 13, 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) granted authorization to the California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) to enforce all provisions of the In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation (Off-Road Regulation). The OffRoad Regulation was originally approved by the Board in May 2007, and amended in Jan. 2009, and Dec. 2010. ARB has been enforcing the reporting, labeling, sales disclosure, and idle limitation requirements, and this advisory informs owners and operators of off–road vehicles operating in California as to how ARB staff will proceed with enforcement of the adding vehicles and emission performance requirements. Greg Scott, vice president of Western Rentals, Fontana, Calif., thinks this could spell trouble for consee EPA page 48

ARTBA Honors East End Crossing Project With Award The East End Crossing of The Ohio River Bridges Project, along with two individuals instrumental in creating the project’s public-private partnership (P3) finance and construction model, was honored July 25 during the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s Annual P3 Conference in Washington, D.C. P3 refers to a contractual agreement between a public agency and a private sector entity that allows the private sector entity to have greater participation in the delivery of a transportation project. Under a P3, the private partner takes on some or all of the project’s risks and responsibilities. During a ceremony at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History ARTBA named the East End Crossing P3 “Project of the Year.” In addition, Kendra York, Indiana public finance director, and Matt Walsh, CEO and co-chair of Chicago-based Walsh Group, were respectively named public sector and private sector “Entrepreneur of the Year.” York led IFA’s efficient eight-month P3 procurement process for the East End Crossing, which resulted in the selection of WVB East End Partners — a consortium of regional, national and international firms that will design, build, finance, operate and maintain the crossing. Walsh led his family-owned business through that procurement process, playing a key role in establishing the selected consortium of Walsh Investors LLC, Vinci Concessions, and Bilfinger Project Investments. As Project of the Year, the East End Crossing was recognized for exemplifying the value of P3s in the United States. The massive and nationally recognized project was initiated to help improve safety, alleviate traffic congestion, connect highways and create new economic development opportunities. The East End Crossing will connect southern Indiana and Louisville, and will include a 2,510-ft. (765 m) cablestayed bridge across the Ohio River, a 1,700-ft. (518 m) twin-bore tunnel, 19 additional bridges and other infrastructure improvements. The East End Crossing is “a prime example of P3s in practice,” according to an ARTBA news release. York, in guiding the East End Crossing procurement efforts, was saluted for her dedication to the P3 model as a way to provide high-quality transportation infrastructure options at a lower investment cost to taxpayers. Under her leadership, the construction cost will be about $763 million — about $224 million or 23 percent less than the project estimate of $978 million.

The Allu pressure feeder data acquisition system (DAC), tracks the amount of binder applied and the 3D positioning system tracks exactly where it was applied.

The Allu 3D positioning system is the newest addition to the Allu lineup of specialized products for mass stabilization in the geotechnical market and solidification/stabilization (S/S) in the remediation market. The new system uses GPS signals to precisely locate the Allu PMX excavator-mounted power mixing head, guiding the excavator operator to feed the correct amount of binder and to thoroughly mix each block of the job matrix. With the new Allu 3D positioning system mass stabilization and S/S work can be performed more accurately and more easily than ever before. Mass stabilization or solidification is a fast and cost-effective method for strengthening soft soils by adding a binding agent into the soil to support pavement or other structures. It also can be used to mix binders or additives into contaminated soil or sediment to immobilize hazardous constituents within the treated material and thus preventing the contaminant from spreading into the surrounding areas. “When a binder is injected into the soil using the 3D positioning system, there are significant advantages to the operation,” said Charles Wilk, manager of mass stabilization and remediation applications of Allu. “Due to the precise placement of the binder, only the optimum amount of binder is used, keeping material costs down. This is critical because generally over 50 percent of the cost for a mass stabilization project is in the cost for the binder agent.” The new system is comprised of four modules, including computer unit with

software, touch screen, base station and GPS Sensor. The Allu pressure feeder data acquisition system (DAC), tracks the amount of binder applied and the 3D positioning system tracks exactly where it was applied. This provides the contractor with more accurate record keeping, a superior quality assurance plan and can result in faster acceptance of the project, according to the manufacturer. The 3D positioning system tells the operator when to change locations and begin stabilization from another point, optimizing mixing production rates, while ensuring thorough mixing, accu-

rate binder addition rates, and efficient use of the binder. “This exciting new technology will allow the progressive contractor to improve performance while simultaneously reducing operating costs,” said Wilk, “which is a perfect scenario.” The Allu 3D positioning system may be installed on both existing and new stabilization systems.

Tablets Become More Common at Construction Sites BOISE, Idaho (AP) Boise State University professor Casey Cline isn’t waiting any longer to make the students in his construction management class more technologically savvy and ready for the professional world. Starting this fall, all freshman enrolled in his class will be required to use iPads. The devices are essential, he said, to the new way of managing projects on site without the traditional paper and pens, from uploading data reports and photos to accounting for changes in job specs and safety materials. “We saw the wave coming and want our students to be prepared,’’ Cline told The Idaho Business Review. Professionals in the construction field have been relatively slow to adopt new communications technology such as iPads and other tablet-style computers. But many in the industry in Idaho have realized recently that using tablets at job sites saves money and time. Dan Drinkward, operations manager of Hoffman Construction, a company involved in the $70 million Jack’s Urban Meeting Place project in downtown Boise, said 15 years ago, using a handheld computer while on a construction site was unheard of. Now, Hoffman’s crews and the project’s team of

“Being able to get issues solved basically on the factory floor by being able to pull up plans right there or look at 2-D models is huge.’’ Noelle Spencer Hoffman Construction

subcontractors rely on them, he said. “They are set up so our subcontractors and their staff can access a whole variety of information in the field without having to stop in the office,’’ Drinkward said. Some construction managers have been persuaded to adopt the new technology by iPad applications that are geared specifically to the construction industry. The apps are user-friendly and have changed the way work is conducted on the site, Cline said. “Some construction firms I work with are going completely paperless. Crews can upload building information models right

from the field. It’s incredible,’’ he said. Handheld technology has moved decision-making outside, said Noelle Spencer, project engineer of Hoffman Construction. “Being able to get issues solved basically on the factory floor by being able to pull up plans right there or look at 2-D models is huge,’’ Spencer said. Still, making a full switch to tablets is complex and some companies have avoided it altogether. For example, Nampa-based Radix Construction hasn’t made the transition. Although Radix superintendents are

required to have a laptop in the field, and some workers use a tablet, it’s not universal, said Radix Construction Vice President Tony O’Neil. He’s still evaluating the options. “We want there to be a level of comfort with one operating system which will become our standard,’’ O’Neil said. It also requires an investment that can be a hurdle for smaller firms. Robin Anselme, the human resource and office manager at Petra Inc., said while project managers, superintendents and the administrative team have smartphones, the company hasn’t moved to tablets yet at construction sites. “The construction industry is now rebounding, but for a long time, it completely plummeted, which meant we had to budget for other things,’’ Anselme said. Others say using tablets ultimately saves money. “Before, if an architect made changes, hard documents would have to be ordered and sent out to everyone associated with the project, and it would take three to five days just to get the docs in hand,’’ said Michael Papac, a project executive at ESI.

$4 Million...

John Deere Parts Mobile Site Holt CAT Invests in Longview Offers Speed, Convenience

Power Systems Expansion Holt CAT, the Caterpillar Equipment and Engine dealer for south, central, north and north east Texas, has invested $4 million to expand its Longview Power Systems capabilities with a new Parts Warehouse building of 24,000 sq. ft. This facility enlargement dedicates more room to parts storage and provides local customers with more efficient, faster services. The Longview expansion is part of the company’s long-term $77 million planned business investment to build new stores and warehouses, and renovate existing facilities throughout its 118 county territory. Additionally, moving parts warehousing out of Holt’s 52,500 sq. ft. rebuild facility enabled an expansion of the existing machine shop to 11,000 sq. ft. The added space and significant new machine tool investments will increase Holt’s turn-key service capability and capacity for the Caterpillar 3600 engine series, used in gas

compression. The machine shop upgrade is scheduled for completion this fall. “Longview is one of Holt’s strongest parts facilities in terms of volume and we see this major expansion as extremely beneficial to our customers,” said James Morrison, Longview Power Systems parts manager. “We had three 40-foot storage containers to house parts that could not be stored inside our building. Now, we have a building that is designed to support the customer more effectively and limit down time when a machine needs new parts.” “The Longview parts store expansion was a much-needed investment to meet longterm business growth demands and is a strategic asset to our ability to service our customers,” said Dave Harris, executive vice president and general manager of Holt CAT.

John Deere’s mobile version of its parts Web site — jdparts.deere.com — is designed to utilize smartphone technology to help customers manage their operations more efficiently. The new user-friendly site allows customers to access critical equipment parts information with their handheld devices, from nearly any location. “Our customers are usually on the go, at a job site or traveling between sites, and they can’t wait to get back to their desks to order critical parts,” said Shawn Riley, manager of parts marketing operations. “They asked us for a mobile version of the parts site so they could place orders when and where they needed to, so we responded.” Like the desktop version of the site, the new mobile version allows customers to quickly access parts information, view pricing, availability and order parts online. Customers can search by parts catalog, model number, part number or keyword to locate the appropriate parts and attachments. Designed for any Web-enabled mobile phone or tablet, the mobile version is easy to navigate and use. It also features a dealer locations link to find the closest John Deere

Caterpillar-Sponsored Vessel OCEARCH Tracks Shark By Mary Reed CEG CORRESPONDENT

After several days spent on windy, rough seas, the crew and researchers of the research vessel OCEARCH finally spotted a great white shark. At 2,000 lbs. the 14.5 ft. female shark was expertly caught, studied, tagged and released less than a mile off the coast of Jacksonville, Fla. — the first of her species to be satellite-tagged south of Cape Cod, Mass. The shark was named Lydia in honor of Lydia Moss Bradley, founder of Bradley University which, along with Caterpillar, were described as “pillars of the Peoria community” by Diane Lantz-Rickard, Caterpillar global brand marketing manager. “The organizations have a relationship that goes back decades. So when the OCEARCH team was looking for a strong, pioneering and philanthropic female, Lydia was a great match given the connections to Caterpillar and its hometown of Peoria, Illinois,” she added. The boat involved in the search is the 126 ft. long OCEARCH, fitted with a custom built 75,000 lb. hydraulic lift, for which power is provided by a Caterpillar generator. In January Milton CAT in New Bedford, Mass., serviced the lift for routine maintenance. Currently, the lift is used for the sole purpose of raising sharks out of the water in a controlled and safe manner, while also serving as the ideal platform on which science teams can conduct their research. While aboard, Lydia was fitted with four different devices, including a real-time satellite (SPOT) transmitter providing near real-time tracking of the shark’s position anywhere it travels for better understanding of movements, migration and preferred habitats. Recent great white sharks tagged by OCEARCH with SPOT tags, such as Mary Lee, have journeyed more than 5,000 mi. in less than 6 months — exploring areas previously unknown for great whites. In addition to a SPOT tag, Lydia was fitted with an accelerometry device (accelerometer) recording fine-scale movements of the shark after release and to assess health and swimming patterns, a pop-off data logger (PSAT) providing information on data on geolocation, depth, and ambient temperature of the shark for a period of months after release, and an acoustic tag so that the shark can be detected if it swims near an underwater hydrophone in a worldwide system of acoustic sensors.

OCEARCH said, “Caterpillar has provided the opportunity for us to become the greatest explorers of our time. It's now up to us to make the most of the opportunity. As my father always said, potential is interesting, performance is everything.” “With Cat global dealer network we can now operate anywhere, any time in the world. It’s up to us to maximize our impact.” More than a half dozen studies, including an ultrasound to determine whether or not the shark was pregnant and the collection of parasites, were carried out during Lydia’s time on see SHARK page 34

Lydia was kept comfortable with water constantly poured over her gills.

Rep. Bishop Scolds Feds in Northern Utah Freeway Fight SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Homeowners, state officials and federal regulators are squaring off over a proposed highway in northern Utah, and now a congressman is jumping into the fray. The proposed route for the West Davis Corridor freeway is one that state officials say will mitigate impacts on residents and businesses, but the U.S. Department of Interior opposes the route. In September, Interior Department officials said the proposed four-lane freeway, running on the Great Salt Lake’s eastern shore, would irreparably damage nearby wetlands. Republican Rep. Rob Bishop, whose congressional district includes part of a proposed route, sent a letter to officials at the department, accusing them of being “callous’’ and “distasteful’’ and shunting homeowners for “a few acres of wetlands.’’ The Salt Lake Tribune reported that the proposed highway is a northwest extension of the Legacy Parkway, which was only built

after four years of court battles with environmental groups. One of the battles over the proposed West Davis Corridor centers on two proposed routes — one starting in Kaysville and another that begins further south in Farmington. The Utah Department of Transportation has said that homes and businesses would need to be demolished at either route, but fewer would need to be cleared with the Farmington route, which UDOT prefers. In each city, residents and officials hoping to save local structures are pushing to keep the freeway out. Environmental managers with the Interior Department have warned the freeway would endanger Great Salt Lake wetlands, which are important to migratory birds. Federal officials suggest avoiding a highway altogether and instead repairing existing roads and boosting public transit. Interior officials also said the Farmington route would cause sig-

“I can tell you that residents of Farmington — who are not in Congressman Bishop’s district — don’t appreciate him inserting himself into plans that are going to affect our lives. He’s not our congressman. He should butt out.’’ Todd Jenson Save Farmington

nificantly more damage to wildlife and wetland habitats than the Kaysville option. Bishop, whose district includes Kaysville, disputed the Interior Department’s analysis, writing in a letter to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell that the Farmington route will not harm wetlands any more than another route. The department’s stance is “distasteful, callous and wrong,’’ and federal officials need to “explain to the homeowners, face to face, why their homes are less important than a few acres of wetlands,’’ he said.

“People, children and their homes should take precedence over wetlands,’’ Bishop wrote. The freeway is needed for fastgrowing communities in Davis and Weber counties, Bishop said, so “doing nothing is simply not an option.’’ Freeway opponents in Farmington are wishing Bishop would stay out of the matter. “I can tell you that residents of Farmington — who are not in Congressman Bishop’s district — don’t appreciate him inserting himself into plans that are going to

affect our lives,’’ said Todd Jenson, an attorney with freeway opposition group Save Farmington. “He’s not our congressman. He should butt out.’’ While Bishop represents northern parts of Farmington, most of the city falls under Republican Rep. Chris Stewart’s district. The highway proposal has been further complicated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ threat to deny needed permits for the Farmington route, citing concerns about the wetlands. The corps, too, suggested Utah officials abandon the highway and instead improve existing roads and public transit. UDOT manager Randy Jefferies told the Tribune that he was unsure if and how the corps’ stance could derail the project. UDOT officials had hoped to decide on a route by 2014.

Volvo F-Series Tier IVi Engines Feature Advanced Combustion Technology The Volvo F-Series line includes four models, ranging in capacity from the 26.5-ton (24 t) A25F to the 43-ton (39 t) A40F. Designed for Power and Fuel Efficiency Volvo F-Series articulated haulers are equipped with Volvo D11 (A25F, A30F), D13 (A35F), and D16 (A40F) Tier IVi engines featuring Volvo advanced combustion technology (VACT). V-ACT is environmentally friendly technology that provides the engine with high torque at low revolutions to improve fuel efficiency, reduce noise levels and increase engine life. Volvo designed and built D11 and D13 engines give the A25F and A30F a power increase of 5 percent and 20 percent more torque. The A35F now has an increase of 5 percent horsepower and 12 percent torque over the previous model. The new A40F generates a 6.1 power-to-weight ratio. The Tier IVi engine is stocked with a variable geometry turbocharger and high pressure fuel injection to improve air handling, enhance performance and promote high fuel efficiency, as well as improve quick engine response and high torque at low engine speeds. A cooled exhaust gas recirculation system lowers the temperature of combustion, reducing the NOx emissions. Particulate matter (PM) emissions are reduced to regulation standards with the diesel particulate filter (DPF). Regeneration, which can take place during operation, cleans the filter to maintain high engine performance. Ultimate Machine Control Volvo Construction Equipment offers exclusive automatic traction control (ATC) as standard on the F-Series haulers. In normal mode, ATC selects fuel-saving 6x4 drive and only engages 6x6 drive when the operating conditions call for it. This translates to increased productivity with minimal fuel consumption and longer operating life, according to the manufacturer. Longitudinal differential locks are applied automatically depending on conditions at hand; this allows the operator to focus more on material delivery. The dump lever is now electrohydraulic, allowing for in-cab adjustments of dump body heights and pro-

moting smooth lowering of the dump body. The load and dump brake allows for easier dumping operation with onebutton setting the brakes and placing the transmission in neutral. The Volvo A25F and Volvo A30F articulated haulers are outfitted with a fully hydraulic dry disc brake system. This can help control speed while hauling downhill and turning into curves or crossroads, reducing the need for service brake use and minimizing wear. They also include new front hydraulic suspension to help enhance operator efficiency and comfort. The new 1-2-3 brake on the Volvo A35F and Volvo A40F haulers allows for progressive retardation and requires less operator input. Improved Operator Experience The Volvo care cab provides a roomy operating environment that meets or exceeds TOPS, ROPS and OPG1 (object protective guard) standards of protection. An adjustable, air suspension seat has ergonomic armrests for operator comfort. The Volvo F-series comes equipped with rear-view cameras with color monitors as standard to enhance safety around the machine while operating.

Combined with easier-to-read Contronics monitoring information, the operator is allowed more time to concentrate on the job at hand. And due to a smoother ride, the operator experiences less fatigue, remaining more alert and productive throughout the working shift, according to the manufacturer. CareTrack Telematics as Standard The CareTrack telematics system from Volvo Construction Equipment is now standard on all machines 12 tons (10.8 t) and over. CareTrack manages a machine’s productivity and maximizes its availability for work. Using GPRS mobile network or satellite technology the system reads information on a wide range of machine data, such as location, fuel consumption and service reminders. That data is then made available securely and instantaneously to any remote online connection. In addition, Volvo provides a 36-month CareTrack service subscription at no additional cost.

Komatsu 730E-8 Uses Modern Design, Proven Drive System

The 730E-8 is designed with an easily removable powertrain module, further reducing the time needed to complete onsite maintenance. The simplicity of the 730E-8 design makes it easier to train service technicians and complete regular maintenance tasks because the truck has fewer hoses, bearings, pumps and wear components than other trucks.

Komatsu America Corp.’s 730E-8 mining truck with AC electric drive technology is built on the success of the 730E DC drive haul truck. The 730E-8 utilizes a modern design concept with proven drive system technology and advancements in structure, hydraulics and telemetry.

Designed for the Future Komatsu recognizes that mining investment requires careful consideration for the total cost of ownership over the life of an asset. The 730E-8 with AC drive is designed for today’s mining customer and configured for the challenges of the future. Miners are often moving to smaller ore bodies in more remote locations. The 730E-8 design can be quickly deployed into difficult projects and then moved to the next opportunity as necessary. The bolt-together design makes field assembly and disassembly less complicated and reduces the need for skilled technicians in the site erection process. The new frame and axle housing sets a new Komatsu standard for robust design and performance. Built for Availability and Ease of Maintenance As with all Komatsu mining trucks, the 730E-8 is designed with an easily removable powertrain module, further reducing the time needed to complete onsite maintenance. The simplicity of the 730E-8 design makes it easier to train service technicians and complete regular maintenance tasks because the truck has fewer hoses, bearings, pumps and wear components than other trucks. Technology That Today’s Miners Need The truck is equipped with KOMTRAX

Plus (former VHMS) technology, which sends machine operating information to a secure Web site utilizing wireless technology. Without any additional IT expense, data such as operating hours, component trends, machine utilization (including idle time and fuel consumption) and production information are relayed to the Web application and made available on-line for analysis. In real time, the KOMTRAX Plus fleet monitoring system monitors machine availability, allows for remote diagnosis of machine issues, and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiency. Built for Production The cab of the 730E-8 brings the same comfort features and operator controls used in larger Komatsu trucks. From the standard air-ride seats, easy-to-use instrument panel with automatic speed control and excellent climate controls, the 730E-8 cab helps reduce needless distractions and allows the operator to focus on the road. Easy integration with management systems like modular mining’s dispatch and MineCare allows the mine to remotely monitor the health of the truck and use the 730E-8 to its fullest capacity. With 15 percent higher speed and simpler maintenance than the previous model due to Komatsu’s AC drive, the biggest challenge to a 730E-8 fleet owner will be projecting where to put the extra production, according to the manufacturer.

Fresno Moving to Tear Up Historic Pedestrian Mall By Gosia Wozniacka THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) While many U.S. cities are converting urban cores into walkable oases where people can stroll to restaurants and shops, bike and be green, Fresno is going the opposite direction. Its leaders want to lay down roadway on a six-block pedestrian mall once touted as a national model for pedestrian-friendly downtowns. City officials say the reconstructed street would be pedestrian- and environment-friendly, with just two lanes of traffic, 25-ft. wide sidewalks, and public artwork. And with high speed rail construction slated to begin shortly, a station is planned just a block from the mall. Built during urban renewal in the 1960s, the Fulton Mall has lapsed into decay, its mostly empty 1920s-vintage office buildings attracting little revenue in this city of 500,000 in California’s agricultural heartland. The city got a $16 million federal grant to dig up the mall and open it up to auto traffic, which officials say will draw new businesses and shoppers. “This mall does not meet market demand, yet we have all the ingredients to make it an amazing public space,’’ Mayor Ashley Swearengin said. Critics say reconstruction may not lead to revitalization — and would destroy one of the city’s few walkable areas, displace immigrant merchants and harm air quality in one of the country’s most polluted regions. “It would become just another road, another piece of asphalt,’’

said Kate McKnight, interim chair of the Downtown Fresno Coalition, a nonprofit that opposes tearing up the mall. “Without it being something special and unique, people won’t have any reason to come.’’ The city council will decide in the coming months whether to move ahead with the plan. The Fulton Mall was one of about 200 pedestrian malls built from the 1950s through the 1970s in the United States. Many cities later converted the malls back into streets — often spurring an increase in shoppers and sales. But in recent years, the pedestrian-only trend has come back throughout the United States, with city cores from Portland, Ore., to New York City being transformed into walkable, hip places to live and work. Officials and residents have pushed for car-free zones, pedestrian friendly laws and sustainable neighborhoods in city centers that have become hubs of creativity and innovation. “Before, it was just the choice of the car. Now people are saying, we want to live in communities where we can walk, bike, take public transit or drive to work,’’ said Bruce J. Katz, director of the metropolitan policy program for the Washington-based Brookings Institution. Of the several dozen pedestrian malls that remain, many have been redeveloped and are thriving. The pedestrian mall in Santa Monica, Calif., had fallen into decline. It was revamped and now attracts thousands of residents and tourists a day. Denver’s 16th Street Mall, Boulder, Colo.’s, four-blocklong Pearl Street Mall and Charlottesville, Va.’s, tony brick-

paved car-free mall also are big draws. In Iowa City, Iowa, officials plan to redesign their pedestrian mall, keeping it car-free. And Phoenix is considering closing off some streets to automobiles to enliven parts of downtown. But Fresno officials say redesigning the mall — an area especially popular among Latinos and other ethnic groups — won’t bring back businesses or pedestrians. They point out that pedestrian malls thrive in college or resort towns. In Fresno, with its suburban development and heavy reliance on cars, the culture is different, Swearengin said. The mall’s 45 buildings have a 56 percent vacancy rate. Many business owners favor opening the strip to cars. “People would be able to drive

through the mall and see what’s there. It would give us an opportunity to be more visible,’’ said Raul De Alba, whose family owns a restaurant and several other businesses in Fulton Mall. The city would benefit from parking meter revenues and increased property taxes, officials said, and new businesses would bring new jobs. But critics say the mall has failed because the city did not promote it, abandoned the urban core and allowed developers to build out housing, strip malls and upscale shopping centers on the wealthy north side of town. “The problems of downtown should not be blamed on the Fulton Mall. The lack of traffic and business is tied to a failing economy and to negative perceptions about downtown,’’ McKnight said. The mall could be revitalized

without tearing it down and promoted as an arts-and-entertainment or multi-cultural district, McKnight said. Theaters, arts galleries, ethnic eateries and beautiful public art already dot the area. Residents also worry how increased traffic downtown will affect air quality in a region that records the nation’s highest levels of particulate matter and ozone pollution. “Anything that encourages a car-centric society is not what we need in an air basin that is as polluted as ours,’’ said Jenny Saklar with the Central Valley Air Quality Coalition, a Fresno-based watchdog group that represents 70 area organizations.

Do-Not-Disturb....

Azuga Innovates Fleet Industry With Launch of DriveSafe Azuga, an instant-install cloudbased GPS fleet tracking and driver behavior solution, announced the launch of Azuga DriveSafe — a service that implements mobile device policies for fleet customers. The new offering is powered by Cellcontrol technology to stop distracted driving. With Azuga DriveSafe, employees’ phones are put in do-not-disturb mode, blocking disruptive e-mails and texts when vehicles are in motion. The Automotive Fleet and Leasing Association estimates 20 percent of all fleet vehicles are involved in a crash each year, and the National Safety Council predicts each crash costs an average of more than $25,000. Azuga DriveSafe is immediately available to Azuga’s vehicle tracking subscription customers for a low initial offering price. “Azuga DriveSafe is a musthave for fleet operators of any

size” said Chris Parisis, president of CG Appliances and an Azuga customer. “While we use Azuga for tracking driver behavior, this now moves it up a notch since it can almost eliminate all driver distraction.” “Distracted driving is not only part of the national conversation today, it’s the law. Talking or texting while driving is a huge liability for our fleet customers” said Ananth Rani, vice president and general manager of Azuga. “The launch of Azuga DriveSafe demonstrates our commitment to our customers and to public safety.” “The launch of Azuga DriveSafe is a great example of how quickly Cellcontrol’s technology can be integrated into services offered by our partners,” said Joe Breaux, chief technology officer of Cellcontrol. “Our simple triggering methodology, mobile device appli-

cation, management console and suite of API’s allow partners like Azuga to instantly integrate Cellcontrol distracted driving technology.” The company expects Azuga DriveSafe customers will benefit from fewer rear-end crashes — saving costs, minimizing liability and keeping drivers safe. San Jose-based Azuga is offering GPS vehicle tracking price points, easy-install hardware, life-

time warranties and no contract terms. The company’s cloud-based Azuga G2 technology can begin tracking fleets in as little as 22 seconds and for just 70 cents per day per vehicle, according to the company. Azuga is a subsidiary of Danlaw Inc. whose more than 300 engineering professionals have been providing cloud-based, connected vehicle telematics solutions and embedded electronics to OEM’s and its Tier-1 supply base

for more than 29 years. For more information, visit www.azuga.com. Established in 2009, Cellcontrol aids in stopping distracted driving for vehicles ranging from passenger to commercial trucks. The company’s non-pairing Bluetooth signaling technology integrates directly with a vehicle’s onboard electronics, and eliminates a driver’s ability to talk, text, e-mail and browse on mobile devices while the vehicle is in motion. Cellcontrol’s technology has been recognized by the Consumer Electronics Show and the National Traffic Safety Institute, and is used by families and Fortune 500 companies.

Feds Reward Calif. With Near-Record $155M in Funding The California State Transportation Agency Sept. 17 joined the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in announcing that the federal government has rewarded California with a near-record $155 million in transportation funding after the state met all its 2013 transportation project federal deadlines. “The federal government has rewarded Caltrans — yet again — for using all of its federal funding to launch new construction projects before federal deadlines,” said California Transportation Agency Secretary Brian Kelly. “This year’s funding increase enables Caltrans to build even more projects that create jobs and improve the state’s transportation system.” Each year, some states fail to spend all of their federal transportation funding before federal deadlines, causing those funds to revert to a federal pool to be redistributed to states like California that have completed all requirements and can use the additional money. This year, that federal pool totaled $1.6 billion of which California received $155 million, the most in the nation. New York was a distant second with $81 million. “We will put these transportation dollars
