I bike for my health.
I bike for my happiness.
I bike for my footprint.
I bike for my wallet.
I bike for my daughters.
I bike for our future.
I bike for me.
And working towards improvements for bicyclists and pedestrians? I'll definitely bike for that.

Recent Projects
- Ada County Highway District (ID) Roadways to Bikeways Bicycle Master Plan
Ada County is the fastest growing county in Idaho, and contains the two fastest growing cities (Eagle and Boise) and the largest city (Boise) in the state, where the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) is responsible for construction and maintenance of all roads in the Highway District. Mr. Tresidder led the Alta-team effort in providing an overview of existing conditions, a user needs assessment (including bicycle counts and surveys), the identification of a recommended bikeway system, the creation of comprehensive design guidelines, and education and outreach strategies. In addition, the final plan identified priority projects and likely funding sources for those projects. - Newport (OR) Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update
Newport is a vibrant, growing coastal community with a highway as the main north-south arterial. Mr. Tresidder co-managed the update to the bicycle and pedestrian portion of the existing Transportation System Plan (TSP) for Alta, while working with the primary consultants. Alta provided a field inventory of existing conditions, led community meetings, conducted stakeholder interviews, and provided a final master plan document with priority projects identified to be included in the city TSP. - Newberg (OR) ADA/Pedestrian/Bike Route Improvement Plan
Mr. Tresidder led the Alta effort to develop a plan for providing a network of needed bike routes and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-accessible sidewalks throughout the City of Newberg to link

implementing the plan. - Wilsonville (OR) Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
