CONFERENCE SUMMARY: JOINT DEVELOPMENT AND MULTIPLE USE OF TRANSPORTATION RIGHTS-OF-WAY

THE CONFERENCE SUMMARY CONCLUDES THAT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS MUST BE CONSIDERED AS A PART OF THE TOTAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY AND NON-USER MUST BE GIVEN EQUAL CONSIDERATION. BECAUSE OF THE INCREASING COMPLEXITY OF THE URBAN TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS, IT IS NECESSARY TO INCLUDE MANY DISCIPLINES IN THE PLANNING PROCESS. THE COMMUNITY TO BE AFFECTED MUST BE BROUGHT INTO DELIBERATIONS AT A VERY EARLY STAGE IN THE PLANNING PROCESS, AND COMPROMISE MUST BE REACHED BETWEEN USER AND COMMUNITY INTERESTS. REVIEW AND REDEFINEMENT MUST BE MADE OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, COSTS AND BENEFITS OF TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS. THE MOVE IS TOWARD AN URBAN TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM BASED ON THE CONSENSUS OF THOSE AFFECTED.
