The group packed camping and photo gear on horseback and headed into the mountains near Elko to explore new conceptual and technical skills. Photo by Eric Asistin 2 Nevada Silver & Blue • September/ October 2005 INSIDESEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2005 Departments From the President, 2 Alumni News, 27 The Way We Are, 44 6 Hardy at the Helm A new leader with new ideas is at the helm of the new College of Liberal Arts. Heather Hardy says it is a rare opportunity for her, the University and the state. 15 War of the Weeds An alien invader that feeds wildfires has forced the University’s resource management experts into a critical effort to save the landscape of Ne- vada and the surrounding Great Basin. 23 Alumni Awards Frank Randall is a man who says, “I’m not that interesting.” A lifelong record of success belies that modesty from the University’s 2005 Alumnus of the Year. 36 On Philantrophy Dr. James Herz and his wife, Elizabeth, have spent much of their adult life amassing art and other treasures of Nevada and the American West. Now, they’re sharing part of their collection. 38 Pack Track Only three autumns ago, Nate Burleson was one of the heroes of Wolf Pack football.

  • 4 Integrating Land Use and Economic
    INTEGRATING LAND USE AND 4 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Land use, economic development, and transportation are deeply connected. Transportation investments support development by enhancing access and mobility, improving the quality of the streetscape, and helping to create public spaces where people want to be. Vibrant communities include a variety of housing and transportation options and offer nearby destinations, such as shopping and dining, that are easy to access. Transportation infrastructure is needed to serve the new growth and development that is occurring in the community, both in the urban core and outlying areas such as the North Valleys. A safe and efficient regional road and free- way network is needed to support industrial growth related to logistics, distribution, and advanced manufacturing. Transit Oriented Development One of the best ways to increase transit ridership is to encourage high density housing and employment near transit stops. Providing convenient, enjoyable, and accessible pedestrian connections to bus stops is also essential. The Transit Oriented Development policies established by Reno, Sparks, and the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency have incentivized this type of development in the Virginia Street, 4th Street/ Prater Way, and other key transit corridors. Several successful examples of TOD have emerged in the Virginia Street corridor served by the RTC RAPID, including new retail, restaurant, office, and housing developments. As a result, Midtown has emerged as a major shopping and dining destination with a growing residential and office component. Victorian Square in downtown Sparks has also experienced a resurgence, as evidenced by the housing development currently under construction near RTC CENTENNIAL PLAZA. In addition, affordable housing and essential services are best suited to locations near transit lines to promote accessibility.
