Greenways & Trail Development
“Green Infrastructure” is the means to creating an environment that is balanced. LAP has been involved in the preservation and creation of many “Greenways and Trailways” throughout Michigan. From preserving fragile sand dunes along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, integrating the prairies, woodlands and wetlands, to carefully planning the waterfront and tramways along the inland rivers of Michigan LAP has been instrumental in working with community groups to blend the recreational and non motorized transportation needs with the natural environment.

LAP conducts a complete inventory of the natural and cultural environment within a community before involving stakeholders and special interest groups. Once the inventory and analysis is complete a series of public meetings and survey techniques are used to extract pertinent insight from the community. This results in a clear inventory of resource and “public need”. LAP blends these goals into a comprehensive plan that will provide clear direction for the local governmental agencies to follow for years to come.

In addition to community planning, LAP is available to provide assistance in grant writing and applications to public and private sources to fund these projects. We also provide easement and land acquisition strategies and can assist with the real estate transactions as needed.
