Anne is a consulting engineer in private practice specializing in public participation. Anne has 22 years of relevant experience working on dozens of DOT&PF projects. Anne’s approach to public involvement is a strategic one. She does her homework to understand the stakeholders and their issues and then works with the team to provide a process that is transparent, fair, and timely.

Sustainable decisions are necessary when considering the full corridor and a series of projects to fully implement a long-range plan.
