Abstract:

The effect of improving existing urban roadways on surrounding land use is an important consideration in highway agency decisions regarding roadway improvements. Such decisions should consider the economic impact of proposed improvements. In an effort to identify the kinds of effects which urban roadway improvements have on surrounding land use over time, a study has been made of several urban locations experiencing roadway improvements during the past several years. Land use and related data were collected on eighteen locations in the Bryan College Station, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Houston metropolitan areas. Following individual analyses of the study sites, data on all eighteen locations were aggregated for the purpose of statistically analyzing relationships between land use and various related factors. Chapter II of this report describes the categorical and regression approaches to the statistical analysis and reports the results thereof. A popular approach to forecasting regional urban growth is the use of urban development models. Using information on residential and employment locations, trip origins/destinations, and population and employment projections, these models attempt to predict patterns of future growth in a metropolitan area. Chapter III explores the suitability of urban development models as an alternative approach to modeling the relationship between urban land development and roadway improvements.
