Land Use & Zoning

In Colorado, 'corridor preservation' in transportation planning involves:

AA. Building walls along highways to reduce noise
BB. Identifying and protecting future right-of-way for planned transportation facilities (roads, light rail) before development occurs, to avoid costly future acquisitions✓ Correct
CC. Requiring scenic easements along all highways
DD. Mandating that development occur along existing transit corridors

Explanation

Corridor preservation protects the alignment of future transportation facilities (highways, light rail, trail systems) by restricting development in the planned right-of-way before the facility is built. This allows the government to eventually acquire the corridor at lower cost and prevents conflicting development.
