trails

our trail design practice is guided by a strong understanding of industry standards and emerging best practices. since the early 1990s, we’ve helped create more than 600 miles of paved trails across the midwest. with every project, we bring enthusiasm and a deep commitment to meeting u.s. department of transportation guidelines for bicycle and pedestrian accommodations — delivering trails that meet the highest standards.

multi-use trails provide safe, accessible pathways for non-motorized transportation, boosting property values, supporting economic growth, and encouraging healthier, more active lifestyles. trails connect neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and parks, helping to strengthen community ties and enhance quality of life.

whether designing new trails or revitalizing existing corridors, we address challenges like roadway crossings and environmental impacts with innovative, sustainable solutions. we customize each project to meet user needs, encourage community ownership through advocacy committees, and coordinate closely with funding authorities, regulatory agencies, and stakeholders to ensure success.
