Beginning in 1969, the state of Kentucky sought to widen the road in order to improve safety and capacity. Various objections led to a federal court injunction imposed in 1979 that halted the project for more than fifteen years. Over the span of three decades, several consultant studies contributed to the public understanding of the road's significance and set the stage for what has been regarded as the model for context-sensitive road reconstruction in America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Paris-Lexington Road focuses on the history of the reconstruction of the Paris Pike (now renamed the \"Paris-Lexington Road\") to critically review this reconstruction project and illustrate its significance to the profession of landscape architecture. It also situates the role of landscape architects in the history of highway design, and examines the various contemporary challenges and opportunities represented within the Paris Pike project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Krista Schneider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1559631104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559631105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Island Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.94h x 8.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Krista Schneider","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445378396415,"sku":"9781559631105","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba3b71f3-e312-44ea-b937-ae931c667764.jpg?v=1777218226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-paris-lexington-road-krista-schneider-9781559631105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
