My early childhood memories are of riding on the back of my dad’s bicycle and of walking around my neighborhood with my family. I discovered “secret” paths to my friends’ houses and could ride my bike or walk over when they were dependant on their parents for a ride. Now I design those “secret” paths for other communities. I work with great people and enjoy my job. What could be better?

Alta worked with the community to build consensus around a common vision for the park. Robin’s responsibilities included preparation of site inventory and analysis documentation, cost estimates, implementation plan development, and natural resource management and restoration strategies. - Stevens Creek Trail Feasibility Study (Los Altos, CA)
The Stevens Creek Trail Feasibility Study in Los Altos focuses on a link from the Stevens Creek Trail in Mountain View to a future connection in Cupertino. The existing Stevens Creek Trail is an established trail and provides connections to many local and regional destinations. Continuity of the trail through Los Altos makes benefits of the trail available to residents of Los Altos. Robin prepared a series of intersection design treatments, maps, and diagrams to illustrate design concept alternatives.
