Preservation definition

Preservation means to keep in good order and to prevent from being altered, damaged or destroyed.
Preservation means an activity undertaken to preserve the integrity of the existing roadway system. Preservation does not include new construction of highways, roads, streets, or bridges, a project that increases the capacity of a highway facility to accommodate that part of traffic having neither an origin nor destination within the local area, widening of a lane width or more, or adding turn lanes of more than 1/2 mile in length. Preservation includes, but is not limited to, 1 or more of the following:
Preservation means the act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of a Historic Property. Work, including preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the property, generally focuses upon the ongoing maintenance and repair of historic materials and features rather than extensive replacement and new construction. New exterior additions are not within the scope of this treatment; however, the limited and sensitive upgrading of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and other code-required work (including accessibility and life safety requirements) to make properties functional is appropriate within a preservation project.
