This report is a collection of case studies to encourage quality design in the construction and rehabilitation of transportation projects and facilities. They range in scope from relatively inexpensive programs like the painted 'Gus Bus' in Grand Rapids and the approachways program in Baltimore to large-scale projects like the design of Montreal's METRO and the upgrading of the Northeast Corridor rail lines. Chapters cover the role of design factors in promoting long-term investment, commercial revitalization, and economic development, as well as encouraging tourism, increasing transit ridership, and enhancing pedestrian circulation. The report is heavily illustrated, and includes cost data on the approaches discussed. It should be of special use to urban planners.
