Riverview Crossroads
|
|
G8.2 Project description: |
Roadway and pedestrian improvements for 110th Street and Riverview Avenue south of I-70 to support current and anticipated commercial, industrial, and residential development activity in both Edwardville and Bonner Springs. Project will improve intersection operations to accommodate significant truck traffic. 110th Street will be widened to 4 lanes with a median to improve aesthetics and implement access management. Sidewalk and muti-use path will be included and tie into existing pedestrian facilities near I-70.

|
|
G18. Other unique local goals and objectives?
|
Yes
This project supports existing and future development in all three communities and captures prior investments including widening of 110th St north of Riverview, the construction of the 110th St overpass and public and private investment in sanitary sewer
|
|
G19. Transportation Disadvantaged Population:
|
Improvements from Village West via 110th and Riverview will continue a long-range plan to provide pedestrian, bicycle, and local street access to disadvantaged populations that live south of I-70 and east of I-435
|
|
G20. Relevant Public Engagement:
|
The City updated in comprehensive plan (the "Edwardsville Plan") in 2012. The City has previously retained CFS Engineers to conduct a Corridor Study of Edwardsville Drive/110th St from K-32 to I-70. This study has established proposed ROW for the corridor. The City also has been engaged in the review of several Development Plans. Finally, Village South placemaking standards was recently adopted by the Planning Commission. Each of these activities have engaged the public through public meetings, public hearings and most recently the use of social media.
|
|
G21. Planned Public Engagement:
|
The City has adopted several social media mechanism to engage the public in addition to tradition public meetings. For example, social media clips were successfully used as part of our recent PSP Connecting Edwardsville project with more than 10,000 views. The City also has developed an eNewletter (The Hotshot) which is distributed electronically at least twice monthly. The City also uses other social media venues such as Facebook. All of these tools will be utilized as part of the public engagement for this project.

G22. Sustainable Places Criteria:
|
----Active Transportation/Living---Age in Place-------
Complete Street Design---Connected Street Network---Context Appropriate Streets---Diverse Housing Types---
------------Integrated Trail System---
----Natural Resources Protection-------Pedestrian-Oriented Public Realm---
----------------
Transit-Ready Corridors-----
|
|
G22.1. Describe CSP relationship:
|
The proposed improvements capitalize on existing roadway corridors to provide greater safety, dedicated facilities for pedestrians and bicycles, improved access for existing residents, progress on the local trail and connectivity plans, while minimizing the disturbance level on the surrounding environment. Improved transportation links will support a wider variety of housing types (higher densities with more convenient access), more commercial services, additional employment, and safe locations to add transit stops for future service for workers and residents.
|
|
G23. Implements Sustainable Places Initiatives?
|
No
|
|
G24. Serves Regional Activity Center?
|
Yes
Less-Intense and Less-Walkable Centers
This project allows for improved connection to the activity centers from the area south of I-70. These improvements allow for existing centers to better serve the adjacent communities and implement multimodal infrastructure to invest in more choices for Wyandotte County residents.
|
|
G25. Environmental justice tracts?
|
Yes
Improvements to Riverview Ave east of 110th Street will be the next phase of providing a safe, multimodal connection to EJ tracts east of I-435.
|
|
G26. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions?
|
Yes
Improved roadway and intersection facilities will allow for reduced delays, especially for trucks. Sidewalk and multi-use paths will provide more attractive non-motorized transportation options to encourage pedestrians and bicycles.
|
|
G27. Natural Resource information:
|
Proposed plan will improve existing roadways rather than construct roadways across vegetated property. Roadway construction pollution controls (located at the top of multiple watersheds) can be coordinated with adjacent private development to provide enhanced resource conservation and a more integrated approach to restoration.
|
|
G28. Community Links at Watershaed Scale:
|
As mentioned above, this project is located at the boundaries of multiple watersheds. This project will be constructed to integrate pollution prevention and restoration with adjacent development to reduce the environmental impacts downstream. It is adjacent to some of the most impaired areas - this project provides a more methodical opportunity to allow for meaningful restoration and protection.
|
|
G29. Explain local land use or comprehensive plans:
|
Existing comprehensive plans, street plans, and proposed future land use types for both Edwardsville and Bonner Springs support this project.
|
|
G30.1 Complies with MARC’s CSP?
|
Yes
|
|
G30.2 Exception to the MARC CSP?
|
No
This multi-jurisdictional project supports the common desire of all participants to provide multi-modal facilities for collector and arterial routes. Roadway, traffic flow, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and updated construction methodologies
