This includes detailed research, targeted stakeholder and community outreach, and an iterative process for generating solutions. Whether the project is developing design guidelines and standards, designing and implementing multi-modal transportation improvements, or conducting long-range planning or feasibility studies, this approach allows us to develop solutions which incorporate the needs of all users and improves quality of life.
