Beth Tucker, AICP, brings a wide base of planning and urban design from working with both the land use and transportation planning groups at Kimley-Horn. She has a robust understanding of how to connect and integrate land use patterns/urban design principles with transportation infrastructure to create great places.

She was the deputy project manager for the Gwinnett Countywide Trails Master Plan and is currently leading program management for implementation of the Gwinnett Trails vision—including the design of the system’s wayfinding and signage suite. Beth has worked throughout the Southeast and across the country on a variety of projects, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Urban Transportation Connections Study, a 5-year study that provided recommendations for how to best connect the nation’s 101 urban National Wildlife Refuges to their nearby communities via multimodal transportation facilities. She is a Double Dawg from the University of Georgia and lives in Sugar Hill, GA (in Gwinnett County) with her husband Jason, daughter Madeleine, and two dogs, Chewie and Leia.
