Another plus, at least for commuters, is accessibility: there is a train to Newark, a bus line into New York City, and highway access to New York or Philadelphia.
After 1950, however, the northward extension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (subsequently called the British Columbia Railway) and the improvement of highway facilities increased the accessibility of the forests and the merging of smaller companies, together with the introduction of pulp mills, consuming chips and small trees, heightened the utilization of forest resources.
The built environment refers to "environments that are modified by humans, including homes, schools, workplaces, highways, urban sprawl, and accessibility to amenities, leisure, and pollution" and can contribute to diabetes risk through access to physical activity and other factors such as stress (55).
The former is employed to model the topological accessibility of multilevel highway networks, and the latter is applied to handle the hierarchical relationship between multilevel highway networks and local development patterns.
The positive accessibility effect for highway exits extends farther than for LRT stations.
The negative externalities generated by excess traffic cancel out the accessibility benefits of highway proximity on Hong Kong Island, where densely built-up office districts are suited for amenity-sensitive knowledge businesses that tend to create value-added services through face-to-face communications.
Connecticut's convention center has "excellent demographics," Mr. Hughes said, with 23 million people living within a two-hour drive and easy accessibility to major highways and an international airport only 12 miles away.
Damage to infrastructure, especially to highways and roads, adversely affects accessibility to disaster areas.
An improvement in transport infrastructure, such as constructing a new highway, will reduce travel time and increase accessibility.
We hypothesize that the accessibility benefits of light rail transit (LRT) and highways accrue at nodes (stations and highway exits specifically), while disamenities emanate from rail and highway links as well as from nodes.
