Roadways and Enhancements
More than facilitating travel from place to place, each roadway presents an opportunity to add to both the visual character of community and the visual quality of a traveler's journey. Roadways present opportunities to serve as "smart streets" that carry multiple modes of transportation: pedestrians, bicycles, vans, buses, streetcars and light rail.
