Navigating Historic Corridors: Preservation & Transportation Development

Unique and complex challenges lie at the intersection of historic preservation and transportation projects. This workshop offers a roadmap of California’s transportation infrastructure history, exploring strategies preservationists can use to respond to and manage new interventions in transportation, from large-scale highway infrastructure projects to high-speed rail. This workshop covers a wide range of topics, from federal funding that triggers Section 106 of the National Environmental Policy Act, to reasonable mitigation measures. Transportation projects involve a complex 1cadre of stakeholders, including tribes, historic preservation groups, city and regional planners, structural engineers, and developers and engineers, both public and private. In this course, you will hear effective case studies and learn tools for working out amenable solutions for all.
