Trails and Greenways
The initial idea may sound quite simple: transform an abandoned rail bed into a trail; build a path along a busy road; connect a township to a regional greenway. Toole Design eagerly takes on the complex challenge of working with local, regional, and state agencies as well as property owners and private corporations to plan, design, and build trails and greenways. Whether the outcome is a transportation project to improve multimodal access or a placemaking initiative focused on sparking an economic renaissance, our experts know how to transform ideas into reality. Our reward is to watch as people and communities come together to build, and ultimately enjoy, their trail.
