At the current pace of office development taking place along America's urban fringes, agonizing traffic jams and access problems are likely to become every bit as troublesome as those found in congested central cities. The author carefully looks at a problem that is besieging many of the nation's fastest growing suburbs —the rapid buildup of cars, trucks, and pedestrians spawned by the recent construction of office parks, business centers, and the new highway-oriented mini-downtowns.
This book examines steps taken by various municipalities to enlist the support of private interests in both reducing employee trip-making and financing area wide roadway improvements. It is essential for planners, administrators—and citizens—interested in the future of suburbia and safeguarding it from the coming transportation crisis.
