The Quad Knopf Effect
Residents and community leaders throughout California and northern Nevada report more and more frequent sightings of something called The Quad Knopf Effect. Investigations into the phenomenon and its causes are ongoing, but witness accounts are eerily consistent: "things are just working," "traffic seems to flow better," "there is more open space appearing in neighborhoods," "information is easier to access," "places that used to flood in a storm don't anymore."

People can't quite put their finger on what's different. One person said, "It's more like the problems seem to be just, going away." Quad Knopf has taken no direct credit for the "effect", although they have been very good about providing background information so that folks can form their own opinions.

However, we are reminded that Quad Knopf is a group of more than 150 diverse technical experts. They are continually collaborating to develop innovative, cost-effective and efficient solutions for planning, design, permitting and construction challenges to improve the quality of life for families, neighborhoods and communities.
