G3. Multiple agencies / jurisdictions?
|
No
The project may impact another owner’s jurisdiction, such as MoDOT. With improved coordination protocols, the city will work to maintain and minimize disruption and inconvenience to area travelers, residents, and businesses; maximize improvements and minimize costs;consider joint procurement and bulk purchasing opportunities if available; and keep open communication.

G5 Purpose and need:
|
This project will specifically improve or enhance movement of freight and services and allow better connectivity to roads classified as arterial and higher. The proposed project will include a pedestrian, bicycle lane on the bridge. This project is essential for the safe and reliable transport of pedestrians especially handicapped, visually impaired and school children on route to the commercial district and the Middle School north on Eastwood Rd. It will improve hydraulic capacity to help prevent flooding. The project will provide flood mitigation.

G16 Transportation Disadvantaged Population:
|
Traffic congestion in this area adds not only length but also uncertainty to travel time, which detracts from both commerce and quality of life. The project will improve the transportation disadvantaged populations with pedestrian safety by adding a pedestrian and bicycle lane. This lane will improve access to schools, residential areas, jobs, and business opportunities, improving the quality of life.
|
|
G17 Relevant Public Engagement:
|
Handicap utilization has been requested. Safer crossing for school age children was also requested as this project is the primary access route to the Harrisonville Middle school. The city added specialized crosswalk signals to help make this route safer but, it is not enough as the vehicle congestion and walking bridge are not safe. The railing on the current bridge has been replaced several times. The city can provide Public Education. The visible nature of green infrastructure offers enhanced public education opportunities to teach the community about mitigating the adverse environmental impacts of our built environment. Signage can be used at Muddy Creek to inform viewers of the features and functions of the various types of facilities.
|
|
G18 Planned Public Engagement:
|
The city is a member of the Coalition Cares program which works with many other entities including the Cass County, MoDOT, school bus barn, and schools to help identify problem areas and find solutions. The city has also held several public flood meetings and an informative flood fair event for communication about the continual flooding at the muddy creek bridge.

G19.1 Describe PSP relationship:
|
This project will provide a new safe structure for Route 2 traffic. In addition, sidewalks and pedestrian improvements will be included, providing safer access to the nearby Harrisonville schools. All transportation modes would be better served with improved connectivity for pedestrians and bicycles, and school bus routes along the route. A new bridge would also include improved railing across the waterway. Implemented Green Space along the bridge will increase soil porosity, reduces stormwater runoff volume, reduces peak stormwater flows and helps reduce the risk of flooding.
|
|
G20 Implements Sustainable Places Initiatives?
|
Yes
The city actively involves the public throughout the design process with frequent meetings and opportunities for discussions with the engineers. Specifically to the Hwy 2 over Muddy Creek project, the City has engaged the US Army Corps of Engineers to perform hydraulic studies on Muddy Creek and its tributaries. This study is funded by a Silver Jackets grant and was the result of 3 severe flood events in 2017 and 2019. The Corps evaluated the flood plains using the HECRAS 2D model and have prepared a summary report. A special public meeting was held in late June 2020.

|
G21 Serves Regional Activity Center?
|
Yes
High-Intensity and More_Walkable Centers
This bridge will provide enhanced healthy living with safer access to the Harrisonville Middle School track and field which is open to the public for recreational sports, exercise, and training.Keeping the citys roads and bridges in a state of good repair contributes to a robust economy and favorably impacts the quality of life of all residents and visitors.

G22 Environmental justice tracts?

No

|
|
G23 Reduces greenhouse gas emissions?
|
Yes
During the planning phase the city can look into favorable BMPs along the creek next to the bridge. Green infrastructure’s ability to sequester carbon in vegetation can help to meet greenhouse gas emission goals by contributing to a carbon sink.
|
|
G24 Natural Resource information:
|
Concrete was poured improperly and provides poor bank stabilization. Removal of the concrete and implementation of the project will reduce damages caused by floods and prevent soil erosion under the bridge. A properly designed bridge structure will result in lower velocities and less need for scour and erosion controls; thus allowing the use of native riparian restoration. A bridge or arch structure will be considered at this location to avoid filling the stream bottom; thus, allowing unimpeded flow connectivity.
|
|
G25 Community Links at Watershaed Scale:
|
This project will benefit future watershed improvement and would be an upgraded BMP. This project will improve property and neighborhood aesthetics. Reduce localized flooding and promote infiltration and groundwater recharge, and include enhanced pedestrian safety when used in traffic calming applications.
|
|
G26 Explain local land use or comprehensive plans:
|
Local land use is within the watershed, residential, and school areas. The project will improve safer pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
