Trail Design & Community Connectivity
Meeting the needs of all users
Each greenway and trail are unique in terms of character, scale, and community needs. When undertaking a greenway project, whether a comprehensive system-wide planning effort or a single corridor, our adaptive approach evaluates opportunities and challenges and prioritizes recreational, aesthetic, ecological, and cultural values of the community. By carefully considering location, accessibility, connectivity, user experience, and environmental factors, our designers plan and design greenways that meet the needs of all users and responds to the requirements of permitting agencies.
