The study had two stated purposes: To determine the effect of freeways on parks, and To determine the reaction of communities and groups to various right-of-way acquisitions and other freeway effects. Parks: The study developed a preliminary model for the examination of the impact of freeways on neighborhood parks; however, the report notes that the concept could be used for other types of parks with minor changes of emphasis. Public reaction: The principal findings on this point were: (a) Groups representing larger sectors of the community (government bodies) tend to be more active than special interest groups (property owners associations) in expressing opinions on proposed freeway locations; (b) Special interest groups (e.g., home owners) react according to the impact of the freeway on their special interest; and (c) There is considerable agreement in the response of community groups to freeway planning, especially in the expression of preferences for routes other than the one recommended by the State highway engineer.
