Old School Thoeodolite and Level (Wild Heerbrugg):
T16 Tacheometer Theodolite (1956-1972) Erect Telescope (Level) (1936-1968)
T16 Tacheometer Theodolite:
It has been designed for low-order triangulations, traverse surveys, property surveys,
building site measurements, marking out, etc.
Erect Telescope (Level):
Back in old school, this level was used to establish bench mark eleveations and control
points. The telescope and tabular level can rotate simultaneously about the longitudinal
axis, enabling the vertical collimation to be checked easily at one instrumental setup.

"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together
is success." - Henry Ford
The Firestone Boulevard Regional Corridor Capacity Enhancements Project (The Boulevard
Project). The 18-million project provided congestion relief, increased pedestrian
and driver safety and beautified the corridor. Construction began on February 12,
2018 and completed on October 28, 2019.
Motorists are now benefitting from the additional travel lane. It is activated during
peak hours of the day. This approach serves to provide congestion relief, as well
as on-street parking at all other times of the day. The project also added raised
medians and bus turnouts for motorists safety and enhanced traffic circulation. A
numebr of elements were added for beautification such as drought tolerant landsaping.
A new traffic signal was installed for safety at Firestone Boulevard and Calden Avenue.
Finally, the aging road pavement was resurfaced, with new rubberized pavement.
The cost of the Boulevard Project was over $18 million, and was funded primarily with
grant funds including Metro Call-for-Project funds, SB-1, Measure M and Measure R
funds. Local funds also supported the completion of the project.
