AADT is the standard measurement for vehicle traffic load on a section of road, and the basis for some decisions regarding transport planning, or the environmental hazards of pollution related to road transport. Uses One of the most important uses of AADT is for determining funding for the maintenance and improvement of highways.

Quinlan said that they had discussed the idea of a local landscape arboretum for 40 years before it became possible to gain support from the federal government.

In 1972, the organization signed a lease with the Corps for 193 acres of land, and began planting native Kansas plants and creating recreational trails. The arboretum was forma ...
