“KMJ Consulting, Inc. is honored to be a part of the award winning Philip Street team!” – Karen Jehanian, President.
On June 5, 2019, Rich Montanez, Deputy Commissioner of Transportation, City of Philadelphia accepted a Grand Jury Award for restoration from the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia at the 2019 Preservation Achievement Awards. KMJ along with Gilmore & Associates, and Olivieri & Associates played a role in the reconstruction of historic Philip Street.
KMJ designed two curb ramps at the intersection of Philip Street/Delancey Street for this reconstruction project. Small historic streets present a number of design challenges, such as proximity of existing buildings and staircases as well as underground vaults. Close coordination and collaboration between and among the City of Philadelphia, Gilmore & Associates, and KMJ was critical for the successful implementation of this project. Kudos to Olivieri & Associates for exceeding expectations of the residents along Philip Street.
In addition to the Grand Jury Award, the reconstruction of Philip Street has also been awarded the Local Government Initiative Award from Preservation Pennsylvania to be presented at the 2019 Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Awards Ceremony being held on Wednesday, June 19th.

Get to Know Wayne Gibson, KMJ Consulting’s Newest Communications Engineer!
Q: What inspired you to study and practice communications engineering?
A: I was fascinated by the practical uses for big data and the performance improvements that can be made when data is available and analyzed. Improvements in operations can help make customers’ lives easier, safer, or more enjoyable in many industries.
Q: What was the most interesting project you have worked on?
A: I initiated a project to bring wireless coverage to the area surrounding Peddler’s Village (including several neighborhoods and a middle/high school). This effort included directing waveform data collection to assess existing conditions, analyzing data collected, and using analysis results to determine design solutions and select vendor equipment (antennas and wireless radio) which was aesthetically pleasing.
Q: How can you, as a communications engineer, improve mobility?
A: I want to find new ways to shape the future of transportation by establishing connections between infrastructure, technology and drivers. I am passionate about the opportunity to create safer roads and improve the performance of multimodal transportation. Previously, as a Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer at Verizon, I re-designed existing infrastructure for better performance and designed new solutions to expand wireless coverage and capacity.
Q: How can your background contribute to the connected/automated vehicle advancement?
A: Through my previous experience in RF Design and System Performance at AT&T and Verizon, I
designed the wireless infrastructure for southeastern Pennsylvania. Connected vehicles and applications will use the same technologies.
A: As a communications engineer in the civil engineering world, I want to improve connectivity,
productivity, safety, and benefit travelers using multimodal transportation within an urban
environment. I am excited to be a bridge between the wireless industry and the transportation
industry.
Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?
A: Playing and watching soccer, traveling and cooking.
