WHK was the prime consultant responsible for preparing Martin County's 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan. This project developed two major Plan products: a 2025 Needs Plan and a 2025 Cost Feasible Plan. The Needs Plan included Capacity Improvements, Transit Improvements and Constrained Roadways. The Cost Feasible Plan included Roadway Capacity Improvements, Transit Improvements and Visioning/Sustainability. The Cost Feasible Plan also included bicycle and sidewalk recommendations.
