International Trails Summit 2025
Together, we can create great trail networks.
More and more, people are biking and walking — not just for recreation — but as a means of transportation. With this increased demand comes an increased need for bike and pedestrian infrastructure. MSA has extensive experience designing award-winning bike and pedestrian facilities for our clients. From rural recreational trails to urban commuter paths, MSA has the knowledge and expertise to design the right path for you. We have been involved with the design and construction of more than 100 miles of shared-use paths over the past seven years. This experience, paired with our passion for the work we do, will help transform your vision for the trail into reality.
We enjoy sharing our expertise.
And, we’re happy to continue the conversation. We hope you’ve found Raine’s presentation educational and informative.
