Description | In urbanizing or outlying areas of larger urban centers, providing a choice of alternative modes of travel can help reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Incorporating greenways, bike trails, and walking paths in developing areas can also help to preserve the natural features and beauty of the land. Developing areas that locate jobs, housing, and recreation in close proximity increase the use of alternative forms of travel, such as walking or biking. Some simple requirements for land development that encourage a variety of travel options preserve both cultural and land values, while keeping the air clean for all of us. | ||||
