I highly recommend KL Engineering for providing high quality consulting services. Their responsiveness, collaborative approach, and attention to detail make them standout from other consultants.

Their comprehensive trail experience with planning, grant writing, design and construction has led to success in securing the partnerships and funds needed for the Powerline Trail.”
~ Jeff Katz | Greenfield City Engineer
KL Engineering worked in partnership with the City of Greenfield to provide an update to their 2008 Bike & Pedestrian Plan. With the City Engineer and Parks Director having a renewed interest in developing these community-wide facilities, updating this document was critical to building this network.
Although urban, Greenfield sidewalks in residential neighborhoods are not standard. Therefore, the report focused largely on adding the bicycle and pedestrian connections within off-road corridors, near schools, retail centers, large employment areas, and other community attractions.
The City had a tight timeline on the document completion (February – April to draft) and limited budget. KL Engineering collaborated with the City for tasks associated with creating the new document. The City completed the GIS work, provided the information regarding existing policies, and led the public presentation of the report. KL Engineering created the report itself with the analysis of the existing facilities, proposed new polices and standards, and direction for next steps in assurance that the document would be used in the future in annual transportation planning.
