In welcoming participants to the conference, Thomas B. Deen, Executive Director of the Transportation Research Board, pointed to the fact that besides serving as an excellent medium for information exchange among themselves, this meeting had an obligation to deliver results to the sponsor, the Federal Highway Administration. He referred to the effort to insure a balanced view of the issues addressed at the conference by including a variety of viewpoints and types of agencies that have an interest in the problems generated by rebuilding urban freeways. In conclusion, he stated that the opportunity presented by the conference to focus on recommendations derived from discussing a wide variety of experience suggests that those recommendations should be both valid and valuable. |
