Experience
Ann Winkler is a registered professional engineer with a career that spans 35 years. For three summers during college, she worked as an Engineering Intern with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Walla Walla, Washington. Shortly after graduations from the University of Idaho with a B.S.C.E., Ms. Winkler began working for the City of Spokane, Washington as a Traffic Engineer I. She served in this position for over three years and worked on many aspects of municipal traffic engineering. This included speed and volume studies, parking studies, sight distance evaluations, installing and revising traffic control, interfacing with the general public and reviewing traffic impact analyses.
Ms. Winker’s experience while employed at private firms consisted of arterial corridor studies, two city-wide transportation plans, preparing technical appendices for EIS’s, stand alone traffic impact analyses and other types of traffic analysis documents. The types of analysis conducted evaluated different kinds of traffic control against one another and against national warrants to determine applicability. Evaluating and recommending turn lanes were also common tasks. Many of these involved facilitating and conducting public meetings for the general public and for clients. The studies were conducted for commercial, educational, municipal, residential, and industrial projects throughout Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Oregon, and Colorado.
Beyond traffic analysis, Ms. Winkler has been running her own company for the last 19 years, overseeing individual projects to assure work quality, supervise project teams, track project budgets and schedules, handling contract administration and meeting with clients to discuss project progress.
Ms. Winkler is skilled in the use of HCS, Synchro, aaSIDRA, and other software.
