Design Concepts Concerning the Multiple Use of Transportation Rights-of-Way

Report No: 75-R19

Published in 1974

About the report:

The growing shortage of available land is generating a great deal of interest in the utilization of transportation rights-of-way for uses other than for vehicles. Such structures as air-rights buildings and enclosed pedestrian bridges between buildings are examples of some of the ways rights-of-way are currently being used for purposes other than vehicles. This study explores a number of other possible ways such transportational space might be used. Included are bridge promenades and recreational towers, aerial car and people parks, STOL ports and solar energy collectors. The drawings provide a visual interpretation of these ideas and aided in the final development as is presented here as a stimulus to future study.
