Transportation

When infrastructure projects require the use of private property for utilities and public works, land acquisition professionals step in to negotiate fair easements or rights-of-way. Allgeier Martin's Land Acquisition team balances the interests of project owners and private property owners to ensure a smooth and equitable process, saving time and avoiding potential legal issues.

The intersection at 7th Street and Illinois Avenue frequently flooded during storms, but Allgeier Martin's solution involved deepening and widening Joplin Creek to increase stormwater capacity, installing new drainage systems, and adding a triple box culvert under Route 66. This project, completed in 2020, has successfully mitigated flooding and improved the area’s stormwater management.
