PROFESSIONAL PLANNING SERVICES

Here at MARLIN, we strive to create streets that are safe, accessible, and conducive to walking, biking, and public transportation.  Our context sensitive streetscapes always consider enhanced connectivity to local parks and public spaces to help make communities more livable, and promote social interaction. We have established strong relationships with a variety of built environment specialists that work in partnership with MARLIN to benefit the cities and neighborhoods we serve. MARLIN’s collaborative approach is an understanding that successful planning requires the right professionals, teams and partners along with engaged community members to evaluate complex problems and develop innovative solutions.

  • Our plans encompass a broad view, considering a city’s transportation needs as a whole and its comprehensive development trajectory.
  • We take a holistic approach by creating plans that include the long-term vision for the community, and help to establish action-oriented recommendations for transportation improvements that achieve measurable results and meet the goals of stakeholders in the medium and short term.

At MARLIN, we prioritize the creation of functional, attractive, and sustainable environments. Our comprehensive planning integrates Complete Streets principles, the strategic placement of green spaces, and efficient commuter travel solutions. By focusing on the quality and utility of transportation methods, we aim to enhance the daily lives of community residents and businesses.
