Title: Aesthetics in the Landscape: How Nevada and Other States Are Integrating Aesthetics into Transportation Projects
Accession Number: 01044253
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A landscape and aesthetics master plan developed by a team of landscape architects and Nevada Department of Transportation engineers established a vision, policies, procedures, and guidelines for Nevada's highway system. The plan is the primary management tool that guides funding allocations, aesthetic design, and the incorporation of highway elements that express Nevada's landscape, communities, and cities. Other states also are establishing similar policies and procedures. An insert with this article, "Highway Aesthetics Initiatives: A Sampler" by James L. Sipes, gives examples of initiatives from Arizona, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, and Washington State, along with a list of references on highway aesthetic design.
