Illustrations: Krista Harris, Krista Harris Designs i ii Purpose of This Design Guide oads are designated as scenic byways because of their unique, intrinsic qualities. By designation we Rinvite the public to visit, experience, and appreciate these special places. But designating a road as a scenic byway is only one step in a continuing process to maintain and enhance these corridors and the quality of the experience for travelers. Byway visitors need basic logistical information: where the route starts and ends, how long it takes to travel the route, what services and facilities exist, and precautions or restrictions along the route. They also want to know what makes this byway special. What are the unique natural features, the cultural history, and the stories of the people or events that shaped it? Providing this information and sharing these stories requires careful planning. Every addition or change to the byway impacts its character. Designing roadside improvements with this in mind can result in facilities that complement the byway.

  • THE DIRECTOR from Guidebooks to Guiding Hand, Gary Macfadden Led Bikecentennial on New Adventures
    THE DIRECTOR From guidebooks to guiding hand, Gary MacFadden led Bikecentennial on new adventures BY MICHAEL MCCOY ’ve known Gary MacFadden for more than 40 years, having worked closely with him for much of that time. Yet when I sat down to interview him for the book America’s Bicycle Route, Gary — always full of surprises — told me some IBikecentennial-related stories I’d never heard until then. It was late fall of 1974. Gary, a recent University of Montana School of Journalism grad, saw a job notice posted for a guidebook-writing position in Missoula. He applied and received a call from Bikecentennial’s executive director, Dan Burden, in December. “I remember it clearly,” Gary said, “because that same day the sewer backed up in my apartment.” Was that reverse flushing prophetic of what lay ahead in Gary’s near future? “The notion was that all these people Dan and Lys Burden knew were going to send info to Missoula to be compiled,” Gary said. “The role I signed on for was that of editor of materials, not researcher.” That quickly changed though, which was a common theme at Bikecentennial — Dan would hire someone for one thing and then assign them to do something entirely different. Gary had no real cycling experience other than what he’d done to earn his cycling merit badge in the Boy Scouts. But as winter eased into spring, it was decided that, because he had been tapped to write the guidebook series for a major cross-country cycling route, Gary should get some road miles under his belt.
