Resolution of Land Use and Port Access Conflicts at Inland Waterway Ports

摘要

This report presents the results of an investigation into waterfrontredevelopment issues and conflicts that arise related to landside access to ports and terminals. Waterway industries and government agencies were surveyed to determine waterfront usage conflicts and port access issues. Site visits were made to selected communities to determine waterfront conflicts situations and port access conflicts. The results of these case studies indicate a need to improve communication among waterway navigation interests, landside planners, and the general public. Guidelines are presented that address some of the problems that arise during the development of waterfront projects and in planning adequate transportation access.
