Connecting our communities and landscapes.

No two trail/transportation corridor projects are alike. But one thing always remains the same: a successful trail design begins with the community it serves. We seek meaningful ways to connect with the client and the community early in the design process. What we learn from those connections defines a “successful” trail design and will ultimately help us deliver one. This process typically begins with public outreach, design charrettes, and advisory groups—all important components of a successful project with community “buy-in.” Then follows trail-section analysis and design.
