Primary Considerations
Understand demand and capacity for loading Balance limited right-of-way with increasing demands Integrate freight needs with building requirements Prepare for shifting land-use patterns Limited right-of-way and resources mean doing more with what we have
SLIDE 11
Understanding Demand
Identify demand for freight deliveries Create a hierarchy of corridors Utilize as foundation for evaluation of supply/capacity gaps
