Title: CONTEXT-SENSITIVE DESIGN AROUND THE COUNTRY: SOME EXAMPLES
Accession Number: 00977176
Record Type: Component
Availability: N/AFind a library where document is available Abstract: This circular contains examples of Context-Sensitive Design (CSD) projects presented in January 2003 at the 82nd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board. Each project is unique in the aspects that it addresses, but all have several common themes that guarantee their success and acceptance by the public. These aspects include: significant involvement of the public and continuous solicitation of input; cooperation of highway agencies with a variety of resource and other public agencies throughout the development of the project; willingness of the designers to accept and try alternative solutions as well as to deviate from "standard" designs; inclusion of specialists other than highway designers in the design teams to provide different viewpoints; and use of a variety of tools for communicating project alternatives and designs. In summary, these projects are designed to address the context of the roadway and to provide a transportation solution that satisfies the purpose and need of the project.
