Rethinking urban highway infrastructure and renewing main streets
Poorly designed urban highways and roadways from earlier eras often form barriers to achieving more vital and connected communities. In collaboration with transportation planners, we work with communities and public agencies to rethink these corridors, developing plans that are both transformative and pragmatic.
Our work includes:
- Replacing failing highway viaducts and roadways that have a blighting influence on their communities with new infrastructure that is better integrated with the city, supporting economic development, transportation, and community needs
- Transforming arterial corridors into walkable, mixed-use districts that reconnect communities and foster new investment
- Reinventing urban main streets that have become overwhelmed by traffic, creating plans that make them centers of community life—attracting new investment and incorporating transportation concepts that balance the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers
