BYWAY BEGINNINGS: UNDERSTANDING, INVENTORYING, AND EVALUATING A BYWAY'S INTRINSIC QUALITIES

The purpose of this publication is to provide byway organizers and planners with information on how to conduct an inventory and evaluation of a byway's intrinsic qualities. It does this by answering the following questions: What is a scenic byway and what is the National Scenic Byways Program? Should I consider byway designation in my community? What are the first steps to organize a local byway effort? What intrinsic qualities must a road have to be considered a scenic byway? How can I shape an interpretive story for my road? Will my road be eligible for consideration as a National Scenic Byway? What do I need to do to submit a nomination for becoming a National Scenic Byway? What is included in a corridor management plan?
