Abstract:

Rail Corridor preservation and planning for the purpose of reducing or restricting incompatible development is an ; area of growing importance. This report provides an overview regarding encroachment and the elements that ; contribute to potentially incompatible development along rail corridors. The report reviews the legal tools that ; currently exist within Texas for corridor preservation and provides recommendations for new legislation, including ; draft legislation. The report then reviews the state of practice of corridor planning and preservation with mitigation ; against encroachment both in Texas and in selected other states around the country. The report pays special ; attention to incidents in which rail corridors are envisioned to host both freight and passenger services and the ; implications on land use. Finally, the report provides a review of costs associated to deal with encroachment, ; whether by planning, preservation, collaboration, or mitigation.
