PA CMT Description:
|
- Adding dedicated pedestrian and bicycle facilities on City streets are fundamental to implementing a Complete Streets policy.
- This project provides better defined and dedicated bicycle facilities linking key locations in the community and adding connections to the existing trail network.
- Better defined and dedicated bicycle and pedestrian facilities create a safer place for those non-motorized users.
- Adding these pedestrian and bicycle facilities within the existing community core reinforces the viability and desirability of properties already served by existing infrastructure and promotes infill and redevelopment efforts.

G19.1 Describe PSP relationship:
|
This project will provide enhanced and dedicated pedestrian and bicycle facilities to:
- support non-motorized transportation options for residents to remain more active and less dependent on vehicular trips to reach services
- encourage redevelopment and in-fill that can be reached by a significant portion of the population using non-motorized modes

No
No
|
|
G21 Serves Regional Activity Center?
|
Yes
High-Intensity and More_Walkable Centers
This project will support a greater variety of mobility choices for patrons and employees of the activity centers while also enabling future strategic transit service to be available to non-vehicular users. The project also enhances the character of the streets serving the activity centers and makes them more attractive for future investment.
|
|
G22 Environmental justice tracts?

|
|
G25 Community Links at Watershaed Scale:
|
Near existing streams with lower levels of environmental health, this project will involve measures to avoid any pollution from construction and have limited restoration efforts if improvements are to be made adjacent to the stream channels.

Our City has very few sidewalks or walking paths. This improvement would make the route from the most populous area of our city to the park much safer for our children and community members. Thank you for your consideration.

This project would greatly improve the walkability in central Edwardsville, providing outdoor activity to the most dense area of the City. It would also further incentivize outside business to relocate to this portion of the Wyandotte County due to the new and improved public amenities.

Has Edwardsville gone NUTS. Do not build another city hall. Lower taxes. The city hall we have is fine. Quit robbing taxpayers
Thank god for Chuck Stites, Ms. Shriver and Ms. Cahair. The city hall project needs to be tabled and fire Webb and recall McTaggart

Rebuild the roads. We do not need a city hall and fire and police station.
Repair the Roads.
Cut property taxes

The project to improve 98th st looks great. Badly needed. I was glad to see the city hall project got tabled

We moved to Edwardsville to get away from big govt. Cut taxes and build walking trails and 98th street. We do not need a new City Hall. The one we have is nice.
I think Mctaggart should be recalled.
Also how come we have over 22 police cars. Too many.
10/13/2020 1:29:00 PM
Bob said...
Spending money to improve 98th street is smart. It will bring more development. Building a Taj Mahal city hall would be stupid. Taxpayers cannot afford to spend 15 million on a statute in memory of Mctaggart

For years my family helped build Edwardsville in a responsible manner.
Now it seems like people from joco raid the treasury and drive their city cars home to joco. It seems that Mayor Tiny has lost his capacity to think.
Building a city hall for $15-18 million is crazy. Naming it after the marijuana king of Edwardsville is the wrong message to kids.
Recall Mctaggart and build roads for development not useless buildings. I encourage all taxpayers to go watch the online meeting of city council. Mellott has his head shoved so far up Mctaggart rear end. He cant see sunlight at high noon.

As an Edwardsville city resident I love the idea of adding more sidewalks and making it safer for my family and I to go on our walks together. Thank you for considering this option!

This would be an improvement to the built environment of the area and provide a link to other areas of the community. I hope such a project will entice business development because of the improvement of the area. I support the funding request.

This project creates safer pedestrian travel from the largest residential population in Edwardsville, through an area with heavy commercial truck traffic, and into the city park. A great way to improve the active transportation in the area.

Linda K Goodman said...
This will greatly improve safety so that we do not have any accidents with all the children who use the streets. Also, in regards to health, we have a large population that would benefit from more readily accessible walking and biking paths. Very excited that this is a possibility for our city.

Michelle Curttright said...
I think adding sidewalks and trails to Edwardsville is important. We use the existing ones already, and it would be nice to have more options for safe paths to walk. It would be nice to have paved path around the city center to improve access to all sections without having to walk in the grass or along the busy roads.

We have been working hard in Edwardsville to build a more community friendly environment that serves the well-being of those living there. We have had great public and private support and contribution to our trail system. This project would greatly help us complete a loop for walking and excercising. We are striving to provide a higher level of quality of living for our residents.

We need more trails and sidewalks! Everyone in the community benefits, especially children. This area of town has the largest population and it makes sense to create safe walking and biking trails/sidewalks for the publics use.
10/14/2020 2:06:39 PM
Robert Nolan said...
This is a city with very few sidewalks which is adjacent to a sizable industrial park. There is a significant number of pedestrians and bikers that attempt to share the roadway with semi-trucks in their commute to work. The primary housing in Edwardsville is seperated from the the city park by 6 blocks with no bike trails or sidewalks. This forces young children to walk in the street to get to/from the park, including down a street shared by both entrance to the park and multiple distribution centers with semi traffic.

Appreciated.

My family uses the trail that is currently finished often! Especially at this time when so many activities have been affected by covid, its nice to be able to have a safe place to walk and get some needed fresh air and exercise!
