development and economic and social well-being of the planning unit;

(2) A land use plan element, which shall show proposals for the most appropriate,

economic, desirable, and feasible patterns for the general location, character, extent,

and interrelationship of the manner in which the community should use its public

and private land at specified times as far into the future as is reasonable to foresee.

Such land uses may cover, without being limited to, public and private, residential,

commercial, industrial, agricultural, and recreational land uses;

(3) A transportation plan element, which shall show proposals for the most desirable,

appropriate, economic, and feasible pattern for the general location, character, and

extent of the channels, routes, and terminals for transportation facilities for the

circulation of persons and goods for specified times as far into the future as is

reasonable to foresee. The channels, routes, and terminals may include, without

being limited to, all classes of highways or streets, railways, airways, waterways;

routings for mass transit trucks, etc.; and terminals for people, goods, or vehicles

related to highways, airways, waterways, and railways;
