Description: "This Land and Community Design Case Study offers a critical review of the Paris-Lexington Road project, which has come to be regarded as the model for context-sensitive highway design in America. Krista Schneider describes the Parish-Lexington Road's significance to landscape architects, regional and community planners and policymakers, and transportation officials. The author also addresses the role of landscape architects in highway design, and examines the many contemporary challenges and opportunities that were a part of the Paris-Lexington Road project."--Jacket.
