BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN PLANNING & DESIGN
A truly multi-modal perspective differentiates Fehr & Peers from many of our peers. Multi-modal is inclusive of pedestrian, bicycle, transit, auto, and freight and also inclusive of the range of user groups within these categories including persons with disabilities and other special needs, cyclists of all experience levels, transit dependent and choice transit users. Furthermore, we incorporate all modes into all of our work, whether it be the design of a new interchange or the preparation of a traffic calming plan. As many of our clients attest, our ability to provide objective, state-of-the-practice design and analysis has improved countless projects by taking an inclusive, holistic approach.
Planning and design for bicycling and walking evolve continually, and our staff’s investment in research and our presence in leadership roles of national organizations has kept us in front of this still-emerging field. While there are nationally-accepted design guidelines, innovations and planning requirements vary widely by location, depending on how agencies view these modes and their role in the local transportation system. By facilitating discussions on policies, programs, practices, and designs, we help our clients customize their plans. Our staff are invested in bicycling and walking – some live car-free and others are competitive cyclists, but we pride ourselves on being objective and fact-based. Our philosophy is to balance the needs among modes while offering knowledge of best practices.
