Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site Transportation Study
The Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in Brookline, Massachusetts, preserves and interprets the home, office, and surrounding grounds of pioneer landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and his successor firms. Olmsted is widely recognized as the founder of the American landscape architecture design profession and the nation's foremost designer of urban and suburban parks.
The 7.3-acre site serves as both a publicly visited museum with interpretation and education programs, and a facility for the preservation and research of the Olmsted archives.
The National Park Service is in the process of developing a new General Management Plan (GMP) for the site. A number of areas to be addressed in the GMP relate to transportation—primarily visitor access, circulation, and parking—and Volpe provided planning and management support for these areas.
