PA CMT Description:
|
The Highway AA project from Sunnyside School Road to the city limits is included in the city’s 2019-2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as item ST-52 under the Capital Improvements category. The project currently does not have a funding source. The CIP seeks to advance the strategic goals adopted by the City Council including public safety, infrastructure, neighborhood preservation, development and redevelopment, and revenue stability. Based on the six-year planning period, the city’s capital investment needs exceed the current level of funding.
The project has incorporated a shared use path and sidewalks to greater accommodate all users. Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations will support active transportation, promote physical activity, and provide connections to nearby parks, schools and community centers. The corridor is an important link between the growing communities of Blue Springs and Grain Valley. The eastern project limits can also serve a s a unique gateway into the City.

G20 Implements Sustainable Places Initiatives?
|
Yes
In 2013, the Highway AA corridor was included in the Creating Sustainable Places (CSP) 40 Highway Corridor and Focus Area Plan. The Plan supported the creation of a mixed-use neighborhood node at the US-40 and Adams Dairy Parkway intersection, which is located just north of the Highway AA corridor. The plan also mentioned continuing to enhance the US-40 and Highway 7 intersection node, which is located just west of the Highway AA corridor. Therefore, multimodal improvements along Highway AA would enhance access to these key intersections for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.
