This report documents the results of a project to extend the usefulness of previous research that developed a comprehensive method for evaluating impacts of pedestrian-oriented facilities. A literature review of approximately 100 items was conducted to update and refine the method. The possibility of using the method for pedestrian traffic warrants was evaluated, and a simple warrant was developed using 10 of the 27 variables. The technical user guide was revised and simplified. Audiovisual materials were prepared to supplement the guide. A slide show with accompanying music, narration, and sound effects was prepared for use by those interested in evaluating pedestrian facilities but who would not be involved with details of the method. For those who would personnally use the Method, a videotape has been prepared that illustrates an application addressed to the problems encountered by suburban railroad commuters walking to and from the train station.
