HIGHWAY CONFLICTS AND RESOLUTIONS IN BANFF NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA

This paper, presented along with a slide presentation at the seminar, discusses the highway conflicts and resolutions concerning the TransCanada Highway (TCH) improvements in Banff National Park. By 1972, the need to upgrade the TCH was obvious in the accident statistics, traffic flow breakdown, wildlife collisions, and increasing economic importance of Canada's main traffic artery. Highway planners and park managers were charged with designing, constructing and operating the highway in a way which minimized its adverse impact on Canada's first national park.
