PA Project title/name: Woodson Rd, 67th to 75th Improvements
PA Agency type: City
PA Agency Name: Raytown, MO
PA Primary project mode: Bike/Pedestrian
PA Secondary project mode: Roadway
PA Project type: Road & Bridge - Traffic Flow
PA Project description: The reconstruction of Woodson Road, from 67th Street to 75th Street in Raytown, Missouri. The existing facility is a collector street, approximately 24 in width, with mostly ditches on each side. No pedestrian facilities exist. The project will construct a curb section, generally 36 in width, with enclosed storm drainage. 4 bike lanes will be included in the street section. A 5 sidewalk is to be constructed on one side of the street and a 10 multiuse path will be constructed on the opposite side.
PA Connected KC 2050 Project Number: No
PA Connected KC 2050 underlying strategies selected
PA Strategies Description: Centers and corridors - The project will connect the Rock Island trail corridor with multimodal opportunities to the north and south of the corridor. The Rock Island Trail is identified is a Planning Corridor. The limits of this project are within the Rock Island Trail Planning Corridor limits. The improvements will assist the community in providing amenities that improve livable and vibrant neighborhood features by adding a walk-able road and a bike-able street between two major planned bike corridors. Raytown has a significant population under the poverty income line, and these improvements serves those individuals as well as others across our region. Climate Protection and Resilience - The complete street concept will provide bicycle and pedestrian alternatives to motorized transport. This project will decrease the need for vehicular travel throughout the corridor while increasing the opportunity for residents to walk and bike on the corridor. Due to the reduction in vehicular traffic throughout this corridor the reduction in green house gases is eminent and will provide for cleaner and safer air for our residents. Prioritize Investments - The City is prioritizing investment in multimodal access to an important regional trail and metro-bike route. This project will decrease the need for vehicular travel throughout the corridor while increasing the opportunity for residents to walk and bike on the corridor. Prioritize Investments - Local land use houses a neighborhood high school and a regional trail head. Increasing pedestrian mobility along the corridor may also reduce vehicular traffic which improves air quality by reducing pollutants in the air. Lastly, we are improving the stormwater system along the unimproved corridor and will evaluate ways to implement green infrastructure where it will benefit adjacent property owners.
PA Complete Streets Description: Woodson Road is not currently a transit route. However, the improved facility would be considerably safer if transit is ever considered. The facility is proposed to have marked bicycle lanes on the street in addition to a sidewalk on one side, and a multiuse trail on the opposite side of the street. All of these elements do not exist today, however the Rock Island Trail and Metro-Bike Route (Little Blue Rd) are currently existing and these improvements significantly assist in safer access to both. As well, provides a safer walkable road to school at the Southeast corner of 67th & Woodsoon Rd
PA Safety: The project will address Section 4 of the RSB. This will occur through the design process to provide improved roadside safety. Woodson Road currently has significant roadside safety concerns including steep ditches and roadside obstacles. The improved section will be wider, reducing the opportunity for head on crashes. Section 6, the roadway improvements, bike lanes, and multiuse trail will provide opportunities for alternative transportation that do not currently exist, and will do so safely.
PA Air Quality: The addition of bicycle and pedestrian opportunities will advance the strategy of Transportation Connectivity. Specifically, Promoting pedestrian, bike and transit-friendly options in area communities by making the road bike-able and walk-able within our community. A curbed road improves the safety for transit vehicular traffic. Another strategy would be Transportation Connectivity by connecting pedestrian facilities within the community and biking facilities within the community and metro. The planned metro bike route and Rock Island Trail will connect.
PA Conservation: The project will include reforestation with street trees as opportunities exist within the proposed green spaces. The Rock Island Trail connection will be enhanced, and low impact restoration will be included as possible, specifically in the drainage areas.
PA Environment: The project will include new storm drainage at 2 major drainage crossings of Woodson Road. The existing capacity of these drainage crossings is inadequate but will be improved to ensure motorist, pedestrian, and bicycle safety during large flood events. Improved drainage will be designed to protect the public.

While there are many positive and valid improvements in the scope of this project several present "city wide" roadway issues trump the need for this project and the expense level. While on the City Council a few years back an exstensive road condition survey was done. There was an identified 38 million dollars worth of road improvements identified city wide. Ranging from "pants on fire" to need a plan to rectify. A 2 million dollar a year road budget was recommended to make headway towards rectifying the crumbling substructure of these aging roadways. Case in point of kicking the can down the road was the announcement by the Public Works dept that they are skipping the basic annual 400k worth of "chip seal" work scheduled this year alone. And what I find interesting is as the school district sits on a huge amount of unused greenspace property at 67th & Woodson, they want the City to dig into their pockets to enhance their property values. How about you sell off this uneccessary land and sell to some developers that could build a nice new resedential area that would not only bring an influx of much needed new families and tax revenue boost to our coffers. Heck nobody gets a larger % of that collection plate than the school district itself. Bring some money to the table and maybe we can work together on a project that benefits both entities.
