How Does a Roadway Become a Scenic Byway?
Any agency, group, or individual can nominate a route for scenic byway designation. However, there must be local government support and commitment for desgnating the route a scenic byway, since the purpose of the program is to preserve and improve the scenic value of the route. A corridor management plan outlining specific strategies and actions to manage the route must also be developed and included with the nomination. The corridor management planning process establishes community-based goals and implementation strategies for the scenic byway to utilize community resources efficiently to conserve intrinsic qualities of the scenic byway and enhance its value to the community.
