Sustanable Development Study
Sustanable Development Study
(OP)
I'm currently involved in a "Sustainable Development Study" that combines Land Development (mixed uses), traffic analysis, and economic growth on a highway corridor that is probably 75% developed. The purpose of the study is to "balance" the above items to maintain a safe roadway, quality of life for the residents and provide the businesses potential for growth. Has anyone been involved in or knows of a past similar study where I can obtain information on or results of the study?
Thanks,

It's not exactly what I had in mind but thanks for the reply anyway! ( I don't speak Spanish)

Instead, plant a variety of trees and shrubs, some fast growing and others long lasting. All should be selected for low maintainance and must be proven compatible with the local ecology (look at native varieties first). Put plenty of shrubs between cars and trees for safety.
Start with roundtable discussions of local businesses and residents that may help keep expenses down and extend the idea with a few well placed benches for workers or pedestrians.

Call Dr's. Dan Reinke or Dorothy Gibb at 703-641-1100. They are experts in NEPA and ecosystem impacts respectively.
