G5 Purpose and need:
|
The purpose of this project to to replace two-failed, 12-foot diameter, corrugated pipe culverts built about 30+-years ago be the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of a series of Missouri River flood management projects. The culverts have been stabilized with a series of geo-technical foam injections, which are temporary in nature. If the bridges are not built there is danger of a catastrophic failure and a closure of an important north-south road.

G15 Other unique local goals and objectives?
|
No
This project promotes both motorized and non-motorized travel for the City of Grandview, Kansas City and Lees Summit. It provides an alternative route for I-49 during crash or other closure incidents, and provides direct access between Longview Lake and I-470 as an alternate and emergency route.
|
|
G16 Transportation Disadvantaged Population:
|
The City of Grandview lies entirely within environmental justice tracts. This roadway provides access to 1-470 at Raytown Road. The Longview Lake trail is a MetroGreen Trail that provides safe bicycle and pedestrian access to local cultural resources to an economically disadvantaged community. If safe transportation options do not exist, citizens may not be able to access jobs or cultural amenities. This project will allow a significant trail system to continue to serve Majority-Minority, environmental Justice Community, a rarity in the entire United States that we would not want to lose.
|
|
G17 Relevant Public Engagement:
|
The need for this project has only materialized since July/August of 2017. It is a project to replace existing structures that support long life amenities. The City and Jackson County worked closely together on a solution to reopen the roadway and the trail and to minimize impacts to the public. The City and County also worked closely together on the hiring of a structural consultant to recommend a replacement solution. Beyond informing the public of closures, there has not be an extensive public outreach.
|
|
G18 Planned Public Engagement:
|
As the project is designed there will be opportunities to share with the public impacts to traffic during construction. It is anticipated that there will be at least one lane of traffic open on Raytown Road in each direction at all times and period of time when the trail will have to be closed during construction. The City and County will inform the public regarding those details as they arise.

G19.1 Describe PSP relationship:
|
Raytown Road is a four lane principal arterial that spans from Highgrove Road on its south end into Kansas City to the north and provides direct access 1-470. It carries over 3600 vehicles per day and several hundred cyclist per day and is a main north/south roadway on the west side of Longview Lake. Longview Lake trail
|
|
G20 Implements Sustainable Places Initiatives?
|
No
This project is in harmony with the 2013 PSP plan for I-49/US-71 Sustainable Redevelopment Plan as it provided important nearby access to alternative routes when I-49 is shutdown or congested, as well as providing a nearby access for the new developments along I-49.
|
|
G21 Serves Regional Activity Center?
|
Yes
High-Intensity and More_Walkable Centers
High-Intensity and More_Walkable Centers Raytown Road provides access for Grandview residents to Lees Summit, Kansas City, Longview Lake, and 1-470. Raytown Road is also the primary means of access by Grandview residents to the Longview Campus of the Metropolitan Community Colleges. Longview Lake trail is a Metrogreen trail system. Both corridors have a significant impacts to residents dependent upon these corridors to access jobs and amenities
|
|
G22 Environmental justice tracts?
|
Yes
Absolutely! The City of Grandview lies entirely within environmental justice tracts. Large portions of south Kansas City and also environmental justice tracts. If safe transportation options do not exist, citizens of these jurisdictions may not be able to afford to use other less safe means to access amenities, jobs, educational opportunities, and services.
|
|
G23 Reduces greenhouse gas emissions?
|
No
Minimally by users of the trail and with cyclist that traverse Raytown Road . However, If this project is not built in the near future it will become necessary to either construct a switchover that reduces the two lanes in each direction to one lane each direction or totally close this section of roadway. This would reduce traffic flow resulting in increased emissions or a traffic detour again resulting in increased emissions.
|
|
G24 Natural Resource information:
|
The project plans will use best management practices to reduce erosion near the
lake and in the drainage channel leading to the lake. Replacing the existing pipe culverts with bridges will take fill out of the channel at the Lake and allow more efficient ebbing and flowing of the lake with the rise and fall of lake levels.
|
|
G25 Community Links at Watershaed Scale:
|
The channel leading to Longview Lake and Longview Lake are significantly
important Corp of Engineers regulated floodways. The Lake itself was built to manage flooding in the south Kansas City region. By removing the pipe culverts, fill, and headwall from the channel and utilizing bridges to handle roadway and trail traffic, lake levels will better be able to ebb and flow to accommodate rainfall events. It will also reduce impacts to fish and wildlife dependent on these bodies of water.
|
|
G26 Explain local land use or comprehensive plans:
|
This road is included in the Citys recently updated Comprehensive Plan. The project site is on Corp of Engineer property within the Longview Lake Park system. Longview Lake is managed by Jackson County Parks. Both agencies have provided a letter of support for the project.
