Community Planning > Transportation
Roads, airports, ferries, trails, docks, harbors…these are the backbones of our communities. We design and conduct public processes to support these and other infrastructure projects. Each project is different and we will tailor the process to address your needs. Newsletters and project mailers, door-hangars, stakeholder interviews, opinion surveys, press releases, neighborhood meetings, charettes and formal public meetings are just some of the tools we can bring to the project. We also regularly write portions or complete environmental documents (NEPA) as part of larger team efforts.
