Publisher's Synopsis
Urban sprawl creates serious traffic congestion. Alternative land use patterns may be the best solution. New Urbanists claim that, by placing frequently-visited sites within walking distance of homes and creating a pleasant walking environment, people are more willing to choose non-motorized transportation mode to do such activities. Part II of this study conducted an economic viability analysis for a mixed land use neighborhood and collected land use preferences at meetings of neighborhood associations. Surveys were conducted and analyzed for this report. A brief summary of the principal findings of this study will be posted on a website - either JTRP or INDOT. The findings will include brief numerical examples of the analyses that led to the report's conclusions. Figures and photos will be used to illustrate the alternatives and performance measures that support the project's findings.
