Bike paths, greenways and trail systems are critical components of your transportation network, enhancing your community’s quality of life. Our team works as a partner to many communities to address funding, planning and design of trails and pathways. Whether you’re looking to develop multiuse trails, pedestrian bridges or bike lanes, we provide solutions that support park exploration and safe road navigation for cyclists and pedestrians.
We apply our experience with state and federal grant programs to help identify funding opportunities that apply to these community-friendly assets that enhance growth and value. We work closely with interested parties, both public and private — including planning commissions, developers, residents and parks directors — to consider the sensitive right-of-way issues and environmental concerns that are unique to each trail and pathway project.
Comprehensive Trail Development Capabilities
We have in-house professionals with the wide-ranging skills needed for trail and pathway projects. Our team uses native plants and creative landscape architecture to draw people into the beauty of your project with features that enhance safety and improve stormwater quality.
Our team also incorporates bike- and pedestrian-friendly features into designs for streets and arterial roadways. Sidewalks, streetscaping and other techniques can help connect communities in new and sustainable ways.
Trails and pathways can also be designed and built via the full range of project delivery options, based on risk, complexity, budget and schedule. Our team has experience in various approaches to meet your unique project needs with reliable, innovative and cost-effective design and construction. We provide design-bid-build, design-build, progressive design-build, owner’s engineer, program management and construction management services.

Trail Design Supports Historic Preservation and Sustainable Reuse
Burns & McDonnell
In 2016, Jackson County, Missouri, purchased 17.7 miles of the abandoned Rock Island Rail Corridor. The county wanted to develop a shared-use path system that would connect to regional trail systems and preserve right-of-way for future transit use. Our team provided environmental and engineering services to help reduce the project’s carbon footprint, lower costs and develop a popular amenity.
