PA CMT Description:
|
Access Management - The proposed four-lane divided section will allow for limiting left turns, allowing left turn lanes at intersections. Also, curb and gutter as well as driveway access policies will restrict driveway and curb cuts.
Active Transportation - The addition of sidewalk, sidepath, and bike lanes provide travel options for residents.
Highway Strategies - the project will improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve safety.
Transportation Operation & Management – Communications Networks will be expanded by installing fiber optic cable the length of this project. This will increase capability for regional-level coordination of operations and traveler information.

G5 Purpose and need:
|
New development on the west side of Lackman Road and south of 175th Street is rapidly increasing traffic on Lackman Road between 159th ST and 167th Street. Traffic projections show that the maximum capacity of the existing two-lane roadway will be met prior to 2025. Johnson County and Olathe are convinced that additional traffic capacity as well as the needs of an active biking community need to be addressed. Also, linking residents west of Lackman Road to the amenities in Heritage Park in a safe manner is urgently needed.
