LSA Design, Inc. has developed an expertise in providing land-use, transit and parking solutions. Disciplines include land-use and transit planning, architecture, and landscape architecture.

Founded in 1988, LSA initially provided feasibility studies, site selection, and concept design for local municipalities and transit agencies in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metropolitan area. Growing alongside the local opt-out transit agencies formed in the late 1980's, we built upon these planning and landscape architecture services. We became skillful in locating and securing funding and financing opportunities to aid these projects, especially through the FTA / FHWA transportation funding programs, ISTEA and TEA-21. As our clients' transit service and facility needs increased, architecture and engineering was added to our firm, providing the ability to implement physical expansion. In 2002, parking consulting was incorporated, and shortly thereafter, transit planning - both of which provide a much greater depth to our service capabilities.

LSA designed and developed the Burnsville Transit Station and SouthWest Station, the first successful public / private transit-oriented development projects in Minnesota.
