Services to reimagine, mitigate, and heal urban expressway infrastructure.

Cities throughout the U.S. are reimagining the place of highways in communities. Sam Schwartz is on the vanguard of rethinking their planning and design, working with residents and decisionmakers to develop modifications and alternatives to urban highways that are more sustainable and equitable.

Our firm has experience with a range of interventions, from teardowns and boulevard conversions to highway caps, tunnels, and lane reductions, all focused on reversing historic harm to communities, creating more multi-modal infrastructure, and expanding access and opportunity. As an industry leader in this space, we provide our clients with the data, analysis, and communication strategies to identify the options that best support local, state, and national goals and can be well-positioned for grant funding opportunities.
