Maryam Ghyabi and Ghyabi & Associates had the unique opportunity to sit with the editorial board of the Daytona Beach News Journal to contribute to this article, which ran in the Daytona Beach News Journal on Sunday February 1, 2015.

A few years from now, the main road millions of tourists travel every year from the interstate to the ocean will be criss-crossed with pedestrian overpasses and lined with new sidewalks, lighting and landscaping.

International Speedway Boulevard could also one day greet visitors with grand gateway elements like signs and fountains, add in light rail lines and be dotted with new traffic circles, replacing the sleepy beach town vibe with a new urban feel.

Many of those changes along the six-mile stretch of ISB east of Interstate 95 are underway or close to turning dirt. Others are long-term dreams being championed by people like Maryam Ghyabi who look at Daytona’s central traffic artery and see economic development potential and the future.

“Great communities are built around great corridors,” said Ghyabi, CEO of Ormond Beach-based Ghyabi & Associates, the engineering and planning firm studying and designing some changes to ISB. “International Speedway Boulevard has the ability to be that corridor.”

St. Johns River Bridge Easing Traffic for 10 years

After years of planning and construction, the St. Johns River Bridge has contributed to the efficient flow of traffic for more than ten years. When it was put in service in 2004, the bridge was hailed for providing instant relief to chronic logjams along Interstate 4. 

The structure has a dual profile with two three-lane spans, each with wide shoulders. Initially, the bridge was to have been build in 2014, but thanks to a strong lobbying effort led by G&A’s Mayram Ghyabi, work on the bridge commenced a full decade ahead of schedule, leaving planners to wonder what kind of traffic problems have been avoided as a result of having fast-traced the project.
