Active Transportation Planning
Thoughtful active transportation planning is critical for sustainable and livable cities. Staff at GJD Planning have a long history of supporting agencies in designing and implementing networks and policies that prioritize the needs of active transportation users. Our understanding of transportation planning principles and demand and supply assessment tools give us the knowledge to develop comprehensive plans that emphasise connectivity, safety and accessibility. Ensuring civic infrastructure is efficient, yet beautiful and welcoming to active modes of travel.
Our holistic approach to urban development considers various factors such as land use, zoning, public spaces, and community needs. We evaluate existing and planned development and identify opportunities to enhance connectivity, and create cohesive networks, anticipating potential challenges and developing strategies to deliver well-designed, people-centric environments.
GJD Planning is well-versed in community engagement and participatory processes. We understand the importance of involving community members, including residents, local businesses, and advocacy groups, in the decision-making process. By facilitating dialogue and collaboration, we ensure active transportation projects reflect the needs and aspirations of the community, increasing the chances of successful implementation and long-term support.
Our expertise in transportation planning, holistic approach to urban development, and community engagement skills can help you create sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant cities. Let us help you to prioritize the needs of pedestrians and cyclists for long-lasting positive impacts on urban mobility and quality of life.
