Transportation Planning: We create tailored transportation plans that cater to the specific needs of each project. Our expertise includes corridor studies, growth management, concurrency analysis, and traffic engineering.

Walkable Thoroughfare Design: We design streets and thoroughfares that prioritize pedestrian safety and mobility. Our designs take into account the human scale, incorporating features such as bike lanes, sidewalks, and pedestrian crossings.

Public Involvement: We believe that community involvement is key to successful urban design. Our team engages with local communities, stakeholders, and town councils to ensure that designs reflect the needs and aspirations of the community.

Growth Management and Concurrency Analysis: We provide expert analysis and planning services to help cities and towns manage growth and ensure that infrastructure development aligns with community needs.

Parking and Circulation: Our team designs parking facilities that prioritize user experience, accessibility, and sustainability. We also ensure that circulation patterns promote efficient and safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
