Early federal highway legislation was based on the assumption that transportation planners and engineers would build upon the vision of cities' long-range land-use plans. They would build our roads where we wanted them. The problem was that we seldom knew the best “where” because few cities had an identified vision. Transportation specialiststhus set the urban form in many of our cities, based upon their goals of mobility, safety, maximum flow rates and speeds, accommodating Americans' desires for mobility and personal freedom via the automobile and an interconnected, well-engineered road system. As a rule, community design and socioeconomic issues were only thought about long after the asphalt was laid and development patterns were established.
