I love people. I love design. I love biking. I love water skiing. I love working at Alta and having the opportunity to combine all of these. OK, so I haven't figured out how to integrate water skiing into my work at Alta, but surely an idea will come to me some day! Right now I am loving being able to build on my experience in co-founding npGREENWAY and working in architecture for the past 11 years. I love being able to create places that my kids and other families will be able to live, work and play in for years to come.

Recent Projects
- Bike SPA
Led the Alta Planning + Design project team as the primary client and consultant contact for two Bike SPA projects. The Bike SPAs are a new concept for TriMet and provide key-card accessed Secure Parking Areas for 80-100 bicycles at light rail/bus transit centers. This was an American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funded project under tight budget and time constraints. The project included the design of a freestanding Bike SPA building at an existing multi-modal transit center as well as a Bike SPA integrated into an existing automobile parking structure. Mr. Mizée coordinated with client and civil, landscape, and structural consultants to create drawings and written program requirements for the design/build RFP and represented and assisted the client with jurisdictional meetings and requirements of design review submittal in preparation for building permit. Mr. Mizée was able to successfully deliver 60% level drawings and program requirements for the design/build RFP in less than four weeks. - Portland-Milwaukee Light Rail Project (OR)
Alta led the Pedestrian and Bicycle Integration Study for the West segment of the Portland to Milwaukee Light Rail Project. Scott engaged and coordinated with the project design and engineering team to create a balanced integration of bicycle and pedestrian modes with light rail, bus, and streetcar. Illustrative graphics were used to explore and delineate the design for this new Willamette River transit/bicycle/pedestrian bridge. - Valmont Bike Park (CO)
Alta provided planning and design guidance on this one-of-a-kind municipal bike park. Scott assisted with construction document production for mountain bike and cyclocross-specific trails and features throughout the 45-acre park. Willamette Cove Trail Alignment Study (OR)
Alta was contracted by Portland Parks & Recreation to conduct an alignment study for the Willamette Cove property along the Willamette River in North Portland. The goal was to refine an identified trail alignment and define design parameters for the multi-use trail. Scott worked with the stakeholders to design an alignment that considers such challenges as an active railroad line, environmental restoration, and potential health and safety risks from past industrial use.
