If you did your homework, you'd know it is KIMLEY-Horn. And they are a very good firm. I dealt with them often in my 30+ years of being a Professional Engineer in the transportation sector. And they probably know as much about multi-modal paths as anybody.

But I will repeat something I've said a couple times before...there are no true experts in the field of MMP's as they exist in TV. There are those who know more than most, and I would put Kimley-Horn in that category. But enough relevant data simply do not exist for anybody to be considered an expert in the same way that an engineer would be an expert in "environment, traffic engineering, roadway design, aviation", or other similar fields. Large scale MMP path design...the type that intermingles seamlessly with a street system and serves significant population centers as a major transportation alternative, as in TV...is in its infancy.
A typo. Wow. Good job. As far as "experts and knowledgeable people" go, what Tuccillo said. My opinion is based on my 30 years as a licensed Professional Civil Engineer.
