America's network of interstate highways and local roads were largely constructed before the advent of modern day ecology. What would it take to imagine a new kind of road that would mitigate their environmental impact? It is critically important considering the furthest spot from a road in the lower 48 states is only 22 miles. We have bisected the land like few others. Division Street embarkes on a journey that chronicles the latest environmental research and engineering today giving hope that a transportation crisis can be averted. Expert commentary includes: Linda Chapin, Director of the Metropolitan Center for Regional Studies, University of Central Florida Dr. Tony Clevenger, Western Transportation Institute Dr. Richard Forman, Prof of Landscape Ecology, Harvard University Dr. Marty Main, Professor of Wildlife Ecology, University of Florida Dr. Daniel Smith, Science and Planning in Conservation Ecology, University of Central Florida |
