Scenic Qualities -NCDOT's Office of Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning has observed that <br /> "bicyclists not only want to know the amount of interaction they can expect with motor <br /> vehicles, but that they also want to know which bicycle routes have scenic qualities". <br /> Therefore, this analysis includes a "Scenic Qualities" assessment as an enhancement to the <br /> stress level evaluation. <br /> This assessment is intended only to indicate the presence, rather than the quality, of one or <br /> more of the following scenic qualities: <br /> •Visual Features Qualities in a view that provide pleasure or inspire awe. <br /> *Historic Features Human modifications the natural environment that <br /> represent the legacy of the past. <br /> •Recreational Features Features that are traditionally associated with nature-based <br /> outdoor recreation(i.e., skiing, canoeing, camping, and <br /> parks). <br /> *Natural Features Opportunities to experience landscapes and biological <br /> systems. <br /> *Archaeological Features Characteristics that help in understanding the development <br /> and historic evolution of an area. <br /> 6. <br />
