Pedestrian Facilities

Promoting healthy living

The presence of user-friendly trails, pedestrian bridges, and pedestrian facilities enhance the experiences of any community.

Garver’s team delivers attractive and award-winning designs for multi-use paths, access structures, bike lanes, sidewalks, underpasses, signalization, and pedestrian bridges that enhance community connectivity. Over the last several decades, Garver’s designs have delivered to communities the longest pedestrian bridge used only for recreational purposes, a 60-mile trail that connects several historic state landmarks, and countless others that keep community members active, healthy, and happy.

In addition to design, our team’s work has involved every phase pedestrian facility process, including alignment, environmental assessments, grant applications, and more.
