The department shall consider whether highway rights-of-way are suitable for retention in order to restore, preserve, or improve the scenic beauty and environmental quality adjacent to the highway, prior to declaring the rights-of-way surplus and conveying them for uses other than highways. The department is encouraged to retain, rather than dispose of, its interests in these rights-of-way.
