<br />(�`�lose cooperation of vario�rofessional groups
<br />t�-'� is inc(ispensable in any urban transportation
<br />program. This certainly applies to the city planner
<br />and the traflic engineer. Ho�vever, many others ai-e
<br />directly involved, such as the public �vorks director,
<br />city engineer, pnli�e �f�'icial, transit o�cial, and
<br />utility manager, as �vell as the county, state, and
<br />Federal high�vay otTicials. All must participate since
<br />urban transportation has so inany facets—plan-
<br />ning, design, construc�ion, operation, and mainte-
<br />nance.
<br />To ttie extent possible inembers oE tliesc diffei•-
<br />ent groups mus� perEorm as a team. Obviously it
<br />must be recognized that each memuer has certain
<br />individual assignments to carry out either by ]a�v
<br />or administrative order. Generally speaking, lio�v-
<br />ever, there is still ample latitude for the cooperative
<br />effort tliat is neecled.
<br />ror his part, the cicy planner is assigned the re-
<br />sponsibility of developi;ig and guiding the imple-
<br />tnciitation oE tlie comprellensive community plan.
<br />Transportatian is one of the most important ele-
<br />ments in such a�lan. �I'herefore, tl�e city planner,
<br />oE necessi�y, must see that transp�rration iacilities
<br />are intcgratcd ivitli otl�er key clements of the com-
<br />munity j�lan. 'I� oE course, can be aclrieved oiily
<br />by coorciinating h�s ef�orts �vith chose oF other.:pro- -
<br />fessionals �vlio are responsiUle For building and
<br />operating these facilities. The city planner mtist -
<br />�veigh �vith the other ;roups the interrelationship :
<br />bet�veen various elements of the compreliensive '
<br />plan. µ`
<br />The traffic en�ineer's responsibility is to see that :
<br />tl►e transportation system in a caminunity is oper- �.
<br />� .,a_
<br />ated safely and efficiently. In tliis task he is inter -
<br />r3
<br />ested in the planninb and designin� of tl�e trans-
<br />portation facilities as they �vill ultimately affect��tlie � ``�
<br />�,
<br />operation oE the system. �-Ie is also interested in the w,
<br />operational control measures such as traHic signals; ,; t�;
<br />sibns, and markings, as �vell as the necessary laws � h���'
<br />:,>
<br />re�ulating traEiic required for safety �nd ef�iciency -'
<br />{�.
<br />In fact, he is concerned �vith any plans that �vill ., sf

<br />of people and boods. - x"
