Better Streets,
Better Places

We help cities and neighbors test, build, and deliver safer streets and more vibrant public spaces.

Shared street redesign

Complete StreetsFrom plan to pavement, on the ground with the communities we serve.

Who We Are

We thrive on collaboration.

Street Plans is an award-winning transportation planning, urban design, and placemaking practice. We work with clients to improve the quality and function of the built environment — from citywide bicycle and pedestrian plans to single‑block quick‑build pilots.

Our team has delivered more than 400 lectures, keynotes, and public workshops around the world, and we bring that same research‑backed, hands‑on approach to every plaza, corridor, and street we help reimagine.

What We Do

Pixel to Pavement

We work across scales — from intersections and parking lots to full city grids — designing and building projects you can use in 3 days, 3 months, or 3 years.

Urban Design

Public realm and streetscape design that shapes how a place looks, feels, and functions.

Transportation Engineering

Citywide and corridor plans that make walking and biking safer, easier, and more comfortable.

Placemaking

Turning underused space — plazas, parking lots, alleys — into places people want to be.

Quick‑Build & Tactical Urbanism

Low‑cost, high‑impact pilots that let communities test change before committing to it.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Plans

Citywide and corridor plans that make walking and biking safer, easier, and more comfortable.

Community Engagement

Meeting people where they are — workshops, demos, and surveys that shape real decisions.

Asphalt Art

Vibrant street and intersection murals that slow traffic and celebrate community identity.

OUR SIGNATURE APPROACH

Tactical Urbanism: Plan by Doing.

We literally wrote the book on it. Before a street gets rebuilt for good, we help cities test it first — with paint, planters, and a weekend — so the redesign is proven with real data, not just proposed on paper.

See How It Works

We believe that the key to building great towns and cities requires the creation of active, safe, and human-scale streets and public spaces.
