Highway impacts on downtown and suburban shopping
Growth in urban area retail sales occurs in suburban fringes, not in downtown locations, according to recent surveys; this study was aimed at assessing role played by highways, if any, in this development; test case, using socioeconomic and network data from Niagara Frontier Transportation Study, was used to demonstrate conclusions of hypothetical cases; for values of travel time coincident with typical market area boundary for shopping center, it was found that gross family incomes totaled more in shopping center market area than in area within same travel time from downtown; when highway improvements affecting whole urban area are introduced, relative advantage of shopping center is enhanced.
