At the 2007 Annual Conference Andrew Schlenker and George Batchelor
presented about "Working Effectively with Mass HIghway to Protect and
Preserve Public Shade Trees" on January 10th.
At that time Andrew and George shared tips and tools of communication
about how to better work within the Mass Highway. They shared that the
MHD unveiled their new MHD Design Guidebook with a purpose of:
"The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is committed to caring for the built and natural
environments by promoting sustainable development practices that minimize negative
impacts on natural resources, historic, scenic and other community values, while also
recognizing that transportation improvements have significant potential to contribute to
local, regional, and statewide quality of life and economic development objectives.
1.1 Purpose of the Guidebook
Well-designed transportation infrastructure that is responsive to its context is the product
of thoughtful planning. By bringing together transportation professionals, local residents,
and interest groups, transportation planning can produce public facilities and programs that
support community goals, provide safe and efficient transportation for
individuals and goods, enhance the economy, and protect the natural environment.
The purpose of this Project Development & Design Guide (Guidebook) is to provide
designers and decision-makers with a framework for incorporating context sensitive design
and multi-modal elements into transportation improvement projects. The emphasis is to
ensure that investments in transportation infrastructure encourage projects that are
sensitive to the local context while meeting the important needs of the people they serve."
