Good morning:
Does anyone know of any data or evidence that points to the benefits or
drawbacks of *continuous frontage roads* alongside highways in urban areas?
Any direction toward resources on this subject would be much appreciated.
Feel free to contact me directly at jeri.stroupe(a)wayne.edu.
Best,
