I am a transport planning professional with ten years of experience. Over the course of my career, I have been involved in numerous mobility planning projects, from single-building access and parking designs to comprehensive mobility planning for vast urban areas up to a citywide scale.

I believe transportation planning does not merely exist in a vacuum, and my strategic approach includes thorough examination of each project’s context, with strong emphasis on making cities and places I work with more livable, sustainable, and, ultimately, safe.

My core fields of professional expertise are:

- Public transport planning (networks, infrastructure)

- Complex street and public space redesign

- Multimodal interchange hubs and TOD

My key strength is my ability to produce creative ideas around complex planning problems and situations. I am interested in joining teams which are in pursuit of world-class, humanoriented design solutions conceived with great attention to user experience, as well quality and diversity of urban life.

In this brochure, you may find some of the key projects I have worked on.

KIEVSKAYA RAILWAY STATION SQUARE

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: concept vision co-developer, public transport expert

Project development: 2017

Client: Moscow Department of Transport

Project director: Alexey Mityaev (DoT)

Implementation: 2017-2019, 2022

In 2017, MobilityInChain were appointed to develop a set of design proposals on several major interchange hubs in Moscow, of which the most complex project was the redesign for the square adjacent to the Kievsky railway station, one of the greatest railway terminals in Moscow.

Together with the team, Ilya Petoushkoff provided a vision for the new layout, based on which the whole concept has been developed.Aset of pedestrian and traffic surveys were carried out in order to inform the vehicular and pedestrian modeling simulation exercise and assess the proper dimensions for the new elements.

His thorough understanding of the public transport component and pedestrian accessibility helped to develop a proposal which included relocation of bus stops, arrangement of convenient waiting space, bus route grouping, rearrangement of circulation and parking, and other changes.

The most important elements of the proposal were:

• New pedestrian-only area next to the railway and metro station main entrance;

• Revised public transport area with more boarding bays and a new public-transport-only access road arranged for faster and more reliable public transport service;

• Increased pedestrian connectivity with new direct pedestrian connections.

During summer 2019, Kievskaya railway station square was successfully rebuilt as by the proposed design.

CENTRAL MOSCOW NEW BUS NETWORK

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: project manager, public transport expert

Project development: 2016

Client: Moscow Department of Transport

Project director: Alexey Mityaev (DoT)

Implementation: 2016-2018, 2022, 2024

For more than two decades, the surface public transport service was not considered as an important component of the mobility framework in Moscow. Since the 1992 revision of the traffic circulation in central Moscow, the buses were forced to follow an unfeasible one-way circulation pattern around the Kremlin. This resulted in low ridership numbers in the innermost part of Moscow.

In 2016, Moscow Department of Transport decided to revise the circulation scheme, and to proceed with surface public transport improvement project.

Led by MIC senior consultant Ilya Petoushkoff, a consortium of MobilityInChain, Jarrett Walker & Associates, and Urbica Design developed the new plan. Ilya informed the project workflow and the new network design process both as a project manager and a subject matter expert.

During the data analysis phase, Ilya helped to arrange the inflowofdatafromtheclient’sside.HehelpedUrbicaDesign team to understand the raw data received from various sources and to develop the ways to process, interpret, and represent it correctly.

Ilya prepared, content wise and technically, the workshop sessions led by the internationally recognised public transport expert Jarrett Walker, and contributed heavily to the building of consensus around the draft plan. He also provided vision that became the basis of many traffic management solutions that were critical for implementation of the plan.

The project has been managed and delivered under an extremely tight time scale. The plan development was initiated in May 2016, and the first phase of the project implementation took place in October the same year, fiveand-a-half months after the kick-off.

Grown from annual daily average of 385,000, the new network currently serves more than 540,000 boardings daily. This result was appreciated by the Moscow Mayor’s Office with an official statement of gratitude.

MOSCOW GARDEN RING

MOSCOW GARDEN RING ROAD REDESIGN

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: assistant PM, concept co-author

Project development: 2015-2016

Client: Moscow Department of Transport

Project director: Artur Shakhbazyan (DoT)

Implementation: 2016-2018

Garden ring, a 15-km-long major street in central Moscow, had been selected by the Government of Moscow as the key project within ‘MyStreet’ action plan which envisaged significant upgrades to urban street design layouts.

As an assistant project manager, Ilya defined the project timeline and arranged the work of the design team so that it would fit the incredibly strict and tight deadlines set by the Mayor of Moscow.

Ilya also acted as a local knowledge expert and as a concept co-author. His many ideas and proposals were included into the redesign plan and subsequently implemented, the most important of which are:

• Introduction of three public-transport-only intersections which would allow more direct public transport connectivity (all of them were subsequently used in the new bus network plan);

• Major linear park extension based on and enabled by road diet applied in the Northern part of the ring;

• Pedestrian connectivity improvements at several key public squares.

After a set of minor revisions, the proposed design was approved in 2016. By 2018 the whole project was implemented. With a substantially downsized vehicular component, the redesigned layout provided a safer, more comfortable and more people-friendly urban environment. The project is considered among the most significant urban transformations in the city of Moscow.

MOSCOW METRO EXPANSION PROGRAM

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: in-house consultant, public transport expert

Span of involvement: 2019-2022

Client: Moscow Department of Transport

Project director: Vladimir Titov (DoT)

Implementation: 2012-ongoing

Moscow metro is one of the busiest public transport systems in the world. With more than 8 million passengers served daily, and over 250 stations in operation, it is an uniquely important service that drives the pulse of the 12-million people metropolis.

Since 2011, the government has been ambitiously investing to expand the network and address both the needs of many areas of the inner city (some of which have been expecting the network to reach them since as far as early 1970s) and the new challenges of the growing population and a new waveofrapidurbanexpansionreachingthefartheroutskirts.

In 2019, Ilya was invited as an in-house consultant to help the Moscow Metro Division Taskforce, a combined effort of Moscow Metro and Moscow DoT.

Ilya with the team coordinated and prepared numerous presentations and notes aimed at supporting the decisionmaking process at the highest levels of the government, led the design review process and steering committee, coordinated the effort of multiple planning institutions (including the General Plan Institute of Moscow) and stakeholders involved and participated directly in the planning and design sessions within Moscow Committee for Architecture.

His analytical activity and advisory effort was focused on three specific topics:

• New line routing proposals, including the accessibility impacts on areas served, changes to the network-wide patronage and capacity, as well as operational aspects of the line’s functioning such as track layout, depot availability, maintenance train access, etc.

• Station layouts and positioning, including convenience of user access and integration with other lines and services.

• Station precinct transport schemes, including public place provision, bus stop and layover locations, local pedestrian connectivity, P&R facilities, roadway geometries, traffic calming, and other relevant issues.

URBAN REDESIGN FOR MOSCOW METRO STATION PRECINCTS

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: concept co-author, consultant Project development: 2014-2017 (with MIC), 2019-2022 (with DoT)

The citywide urban streetscape improvement project is running in Moscow every year since 2015. With the expanding network of Moscow metro, and more contemporary standards in urbanism and passenger service, new urban designs are developed for the surrounding areas of both new and existing stations.

All these projects include major improvements in pedestrian connectivity, provisions for convenient and fast interchanges between different modes of transport, and other major improvementsaimedatdecreasingthevehicularcomponent while expanding the pedestrian space and emphasizing the quality of public space and urban life around the key attractors and generators of pedestrian flows, ones that all of the Moscow metro stations have always been.

During 2014-2017, as a consultant with MobilityInChain, Ilya Petoushkoff contributed his subject matter knowledge to the development of new designs for 21 existing metro stations.

He has since become involved again with the same programme after joining the team of Moscow metro and Moscow DoT, where as an in-house consultant he contributed to the designs of more than 50 areas in the vicinity of both existing and new metro stations, including almost 30 stations of the new Grand Circle line which is one of the world’s largest metro construction projects to date. Ilya’s design inputs have been primarily aimed at the increase of street safety, improvement of pedestrian connectivity and interchanges between public transport modes, as well as provision of better urban quality and livability for the surrounding areas.

While some of these projects have already been implemented, most of them are going to be included in the urban streetscape improvement programme for the years 2022-2024.

SAINT-PETERSBURG REGIONAL RAIL VISION

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: concept author

Project development: 2018

Client: KOSMOS Architects & ITMO

Project director: Artem Kitaev (KOSMOS)

Closed architectural competition

The proposed vision for urban rail development in St.Petersburg is based on the currently available plans for Line 6 of St. Petersburg metro network. Its corridor crosses all major railway lines that are currently terminating in the city of St. Petersburg.

Application of railway technology within the same corridor would essentially create an urban rail system which would drastically improve accessibility on a regional scale and connect all the railway lines, all the metro lines, the LED airport,andthehigh-speedMoscowtoSt.Petersburgrailway line into one unified regional mobility framework.

A double-track tunnel would accommodate up to 36 trains per hour per direction, with a train every 10 minutes along every branch. A more expensive 4-track option for the innermost section could allow trains running as often as every 5 minutes.

The concept is inspired by multiple similar projects around the world such as S-Bahn Munich, S-Bahn Leipzig, Passante di Milano, Stockholms Citybanan, Auckland City Rail Link, Melbourne Metro Tunnel, and other similar projects around the world.

Although initially a separate project, this vision has been presented within ITMO masterplan mobility plan.

ITMO CAMPUS URBAN MASTERPLAN

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: concept author

Project development: 2018

Client: KOSMOS Architects & ITMO

Project director: Artem Kitaev (KOSMOS)

Closed architectural competition

ITMO is a major university in St.Petersburg which is the second largest city of Russia. In 2018, a closed architectural competition was announced for its new large campus in the city’s Southern suburbs, right next to a planned major new multifunctional development. The new campus was to include educational areas, high-tech production facilities, and residential blocks for students and staff.

KOSMOS Architects developed an idea of a rectangular core which consisted of three rectangular ‘loops’ that would essentially intertwine and mix these three functions within the campus area. Two main urban structure elements were selected as a backbone for the development, the Main Axis boulevard and the Main Square. The surrounding development would essentially grow outwardsfromthecoreofthecampusfollowingitsstreetgrid and inheriting the overall block structure.

Ilya Petoushkoff supported the proposal with acomprehensive multimodal access scheme that emphasized pedestrian and public transport connections and kept the vehicular traffic at the edges of the site. The new railway station next to the core of the campus was to become a part of a proposed larger regional rail network.

MURMANSK 2030 CENTRE FOR BUSINESS AND CULTURE

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: transport planner

Project development: 2021

Client: Strelka KB

Project director: Semyon Moskalik (Strelka KB)

Murmansk is the largest city in the world located beyond the polar circle. A major industrial, research, and transportation hub, with the relocation of its major sea port to a new site outside of the city centre Murmansk has obtained an unique chance to develop its urban potential and increase its competitiveness.

With considerable federal and regional investment coming its way, the city is looking forward to the redevelopment of the former port into a contemporary cultural, scientific, and business centre, one that the city currently lacks. Located right next to the Murmansk railway station, with good connections at both citywide and regional level, the site comprised a set of unique opportunities and challenges.

Ilya Petoushkoff was involved as a mobility consultant to support the concept stage of the project and help identify the framework of accessibility improvements that would be required for the new site to function up to the highest level of expectation of a wide variety of users, from local communities to international guests and large events attendees.

Challenges to the mobility study included high degree of incompleteness of (or entire lack of) the mobility-related datasets (both open-access and those acquired from the relevant entities as by request), as well as numerous spin-off scenarios of programming of the masterplan and a lot of ambiguous inputs with relation to the potential zoning and staging of the project.

Ilya’s outputs included work on the following tasks:

• Data collection and accessibility analysis, at both widearea and site-specific scale.

• Public transport network analysis.

• Traffic survey (counts) at key junctions.

• Population model development and draft trip generation assessment.

• Team workshops and presentation of the study to the board of stakeholders and regional government.

ARKHANGELSKOE HERITAGE ESTATE MASTERPLAN

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: transport planner

Project development: 2017

Client: WowHaus

Project director: Lyudmila Frost (WowHaus)

Arkhangelskoe is a protected 19th century heritage estate and one of the nation-wide recognised architectural gems located West of Moscow, Russia, right outside the city borders. A museum almost 100 years in operation and currently a well-established cultural event space, Arkhangelskoe had been long in need of scientific restoration and gentle revitalisation of the site by 2017 when theboardoftrusteeswasestablishedtomakethenecessary arrangements and the funding was secured.

With a number of conflicting heritage protection regulations, and various requirements related both to the site and its surroundings, as well as highly constrained accessibility provided with the historic local road network largely unchanged from the very onset, the need to improve the visitors’ experience, particularly with the increased amount of large-scale events planned within the new program for the site, posed achallenge unique in its complexity.Additionally, the wider area context contained several major greenfield developments with more than a million sq.m of various functions being added in the study area’s immediate surroundings.

Ilya assisted the team of architects, planners, and engineers in the following tasks:

• Identify the applicable regulatory framework and the relevant challenges and opportunities.

• Gather the available information and provide to the team the background understanding of the wider area urban planning framework, including two major developments in direct proximity to the site, and the relevant new mobility infrastructure projects.

• Develop a set of proposals related to the touristic bus access, provision of external shuttle buses, public transport development, parking strategy and participating in relevant project team workshops.

In February 2017, Ilya presented this mobility study to the board of trustees in the headquarters of the Government of Russian Federation.

Petoushkoff’s role: transport planner

Project development: 2017

Client: property management entity

New Holland is one of the oldest and most important heritage sites in the city of St. Petersburg, with some buildings dating back to as early as mid 18th century.

Establishedasamilitaryandwarehousingsitetosupportthe development of the then-new city, and largely forgotten throughout 20th century, New Holland has been going through meticulous revitalisation and repurpose process since early 2010s funded entirely by a large-scale private corporate entity and since its early opening days it has gained unequivocal and broad recognition as one of the most successful urban public spaces and one of the most significant private initiatives in modern Russia.

The heritage site is located just a few steps away from the famous St. Isaac’s cathedral, the Hermitage, and the other internationally known architectural and historical gems of the city of St. Petersburg.

The dense urban form of St. Petersburg, largely inspired by the Dutch art of urban form, design, and architecture, creates an unique set of challenges when it comes to providing access and supporting the diverse commercial and residential activities brought to the site by the developer.

Ilya with the team were involved in revising and updating the accessibility strategy for the site, applying their knowledge and understanding to develop a purpose-driven car-light solution which aims to only allow cars to the site or its vicinity whenever it is the only feasible way to do so. This included attention to the aspects of servicing and delivery, as well as developing an unusual parking solution for the long-term residents of the limited boutique apartments envisaged in one of the buildings.

The project is being opened on a step-by-step basis and will see full completion by the end of 2025.

ACCESSIBILITY STUDIES FOR LARGE URBAN MASTERPLANS

Ilya Petoushkoff’s role: transport planner Multiple clients and projects

Large master plans are a rather common occurrence in many Russian cities, with numerous studies and developments being carried out both at the strategic planning and concept design levels at any given time. The mid-to-high-density urban form has proven as one of the most popular formats of privately funded urban development and each major city has a number of ongoing projects under construction.

As a professional transport planner, Ilya contributed to various degrees to more than 10 master plans different both in scale and functional programming. His works included development of design options for integrated multi-modal accessibility networks, population model development and trip generation assessments, traffic and parking surveys, development of public transport proposals, and other similar exercises.
