There are many alternatives to the current Parkway Plan:

For All Concerned: Revert to a plan other than the preferred alternative that is more in keeping with the original purpose and stated goal of the parkway and accommodates all people of the valley.
Make improvements to the existing road instead of building a brand new road and calling it a parkway.
For those landowners who do not want to leave and where space is available, route the road around their houses or move their homes to a different location on the same property.
As a last resort, buy out the landowners, but  grant a lifetime, rent free, tax free lease to the owner and  heirs that allows them to stay on the property.
 

Why don't we list conservation/scenic easements, as an alternative?  There are serious issues with conservation/scenic easements that are not well known.
