His work experience includes the planning and design of transitways (light rail, commuter rail, multi-modal centers) and transportation corridors (state highways, “Main Streets” serving as state highways), town centers, streetscape design, waterfronts (lakes, rivers and coastal), parks and recreation facility design, resource use master planning (lakes, reservoirs, river corridors), land development (site analysis, site planning, land planning), community design (neighborhoods, town centers), and residential, commercial, institutional and public landscape architecture. Fred is dedicated to creative planning and design excellence in all aspects of the profession. His work has been distinguished by the ability to organize and direct complex projects, resulting in a clear and logical synthesis of the issues.

UNIQUE PROJECT SKILLS: DESIGN MEDIATION

Mr. Glick offers extensive experience in the planning and design of projects requiring sensitive treatment in order to fit into an existing community. Mr. Glick excels in assessing project requirements and assisting clients in rethinking the “big picture” on often complex projects requiring a high level of process facilitation. One of Mr. Glick's special skills is the art of "design mediation" in projects undergoing extra-challenging conditions between the client, design team and community stakeholders. Mr. Glick's involvement in many such efforts has resulted in positive options for redirecting challenging projects that require special design consideration when traditional approaches to large-scale projects have not succeeded. Mr. Glick utilizes experienced mediation and facilitation skills which comes in extra-handy for projects requiring a sensitive approach.
