Review :
"With common language, thorough research and numerous case studies, the Sipes provide the reader with sound arguments for making our roadways green... The authors are dedicated to turning our transportation systems to assets, not liabilities, and have written a book to help guide this transformation."-- "ASLA's The Dirt blog" "Creating Green Roadways provides a comprehensive overview of how roads can be designed to protect natural and cultural resources and exist harmoniously within their context. This is a must read for any planner: a clear map for improving our transportation infrastructure." --Mark S. Lindhult "FASLA, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Partner, The Berkshire Design Group" "A valuable resource for transportation planners, engineers, landscape architects, and other professionals associated with the construction of innovative roadway construction, highway connectivity and infrastructure projects. Designers and engineers for both rural communities and metropolitan regions, greenways and other transportation corridors will benefit from the design techniques and case studies described in this powerful manifesto for new highway thinking." --Richard Shaw "principal, DesignWorkshop" "Analyzing many American roads throughout the country with black and white photography throughout, authors James Matthew Sipes offer their insightful combination analysis of which methods have worked and which have performed up to expectation, and what can be done for a better and more environmentally sound infrastructure in the future. Creating Green Roadways is a strong addition to environmental studies and transportation planning libraries, highly recommended." -- "Midwest Book Review" "The Sipes' insightful synopsis of current green roadways concepts, combined with an assemblage of inspiring photographs, compels us to work smarter. They remind us that transportation successes can occur in far-flung, sometimes improbable settings, and even in our own backyards." --Laura Lewis "US Forest Service, Tennessee"
