Miller & Associates develops Hike & Bike Trail Studies that help communities develop safe, accessible, and connected trail systems for transportation and recreation. Hike & bike trails provide more than recreational opportunities, they connect neighborhoods, parks, schools, businesses, and other community destinations while supporting active lifestyles and alternative modes of transportation. Our team evaluates existing trails, potential routes, community destinations, and opportunities to create connections that build toward a comprehensive trail system.
Our approach allows communities to develop their hike & bike network over time through multiple planning studies and construction phases. Rather than completing the entire system as one large project, we help communities identify priority segments and develop individual projects that can be studied, funded, designed, and constructed as resources become available. Each completed segment builds upon previous improvements, creating new connections and expanding the overall recreational network throughout the community.
Through ongoing planning, public input, design, and implementation, Miller & Associates helps communities establish a long-term vision while addressing projects one step at a time. We assist with route evaluation, design standards, funding opportunities, and project development to help move individual Hike & Bike Trail segments from concept to construction. This phased approach allows communities to make steady investments in their trail system, ultimately creating an expansive, interconnected network that provides lasting recreational and transportation opportunities for residents and visitors.
