Visitor Needs and Expections

The Corridor Management Plan (CMP) should identify elements that are in place and planned to meet the needs and expectations of visitors, locals residents and business. Specifically, the needs and expectations follow:

Visitor Experience Plan
List and discuss how to minimize any disruptions to the visitor experience. Identify plans for making improvements to enhance that experience.

Development Plan
Describe methods for enhancing existing development and for accommodating new development while preserving the intrinsic qualities of the corridor (e.g., design review, land management techniques, economic incentives).

Commerce Plan
Describe how commercial traffic and business access, including services for travelers, will be accommodated while ensuring the safety of sightseers, bicyclists and pedestrians.

Sign Plan
Describe how the number and placement of highway signs will support the visitor experience & help tourists find their way while not obscuring or detracting from scenery. This includes signs for international tourists who may not be fluent in English.

Outdoor Advertising Control Compliance
Show that all existing local, state and federal laws on the control of outdoor advertising are being met.
