TERMINAL PLANNING FOR FUTURE HIGHWAYS

NEW CONCEPTS IN HIGHWAY TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT ARE PRESENTED TO AID FUTURE PLANNERS. KEY EMPHASIS IS ON PROVIDING PARKING DIRECTLY IN MAJOR COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND IMPROVED DESIGN OF PARKING SPACE AND OTHER TERMINAL REQUIREMENTS IN REAL ESTATE COMPLEXES. DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CENTERS, WITH APPROPRIATE ANCILLARY FACILITIES, AT MODAL INTERCHANGE POINTS IS DESCRIBED. ALTHOUGH AUTOMOBILE TERMINAL REQUIREMENTS ARE STRESSED, IT IS NOTED THAT NO ONE VEHICLE CAN ADEQUATELY SERVE ALL URBAN TRAVEL NEEDS. BUS SERVICE AND RAIL RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMS MUST COMPLEMENT THE AUTOMOBILE. PROJECTS DESCRIBED INCLUDE CENTURY CITY IN WEST LOS ANGELES, MACYS-QUEENS DEPARTMENT STORE, CHICAGOS MUNICIPAL PARKING PROGRAM, AND NEW YORKS MIDTOWN BUS TERMINAL.
