• Abstract:
  Washington State Department of Transportation Local Programs Division requested the creation of a ; Resource Planning Index (or “Index”) for use in benchmarking and tracking the stewardship ; performance of investments associated with Washington’s Scenic and Recreational Highways. A GIS ; analysis was performed to develop a unique Index value for each 1000 feet of roadway. The Index ; value was calculated based on the proximity of features of interest associated with specific ; opportunities for protecting, preserving, or enhancing resources associated with the state Scenic and ; Recreational Highways. This Index may be used in preliminary assessments of locations where there ; may be a confluence of such opportunities. As always, a local scale analysis of the location should ; assess exactly what opportunities exist there and whether a proposed project would actually provide the ; desired benefit or impact.
