Most capital improvement studies deal with feasibility analysis or evaluation of successfully completed projects. Relatively little is known about the many cases in which projects have been attempted but have not been successfully completed. Reported in this paper are the findings of a study that investigated the implementation process of downtown automobile-use management projects. This implementation process was compared with the process encountered in alternative central business district (CBD) revitalization efforts. Information was solicited through mail surveys of city planners in 67 cities about approximately 200 CBD revitalization projects, including 38 automobile-restricted zones that have been considered, initiated, or completed during the past 8 years. Implementation problems were perceived to be related to certain project attributes and the stage that the project had reached. The latter poses interesting questions about the identification and measurement of implementation problems in future research. The study reconfirmed an emerging role for city planners that emphasizes managing, negotiating, and coordinating projects that require public-private partnerships.
