We Bring Expertise in Complete Street and Active Transportation Improvements
One of Mark Thomas’ key focus areas is planning, design, and construction of complete streets and bicycle/pedestrian enhancements based on NACTO and other Complete Street guidelines. Through our work with multiple cities, counties, regional transportation agencies, and state agencies, we have accumulated an expansive knowledge base specifically geared toward balancing motorized and non-motorized travel safety, connectivity, and access.
Our team has delivered hundreds of complete streets and active transportation facilities. Our projects range from Class I trails and paths to Class IV protected bikeways and Class II buffered bike lanes to ADA upgrades and road diets. Our projects become lively community plazas, connect major bicycle and pedestrian corridors to key destinations, and enhance mobility, connectivity, transit reliability, and safety.
Our strong background in delivering transportation projects, coupled with an effective balance of creative innovations fused with practical design solutions, has demonstrated Mark Thomas’ unique capability to deliver thoughtful complete street projects.

Pedestrian Bridges
We Deliver Pedestrian Bridges to Improve Connectivity
A core specialty of our firm is active transportation, with a focus on bicycle and pedestrian facilities that enhance connectivity and safety. Many of these projects involve critical crossing structures, and we have designed dozens of bicycle and pedestrian bridges over local roadways, rail corridors, waterways, and highway facilities. Our experience includes a variety of structure types, from prefabricated truss and girder bridges to signature structures, tailored to site conditions and community needs. We prioritize accessibility, safety, and aesthetics, working closely with stakeholders to deliver functional and context-sensitive crossings.
