G8.4 Purpose and need:
|
This project would complete the sidewalk system connecting City of Basehors City Center. The existing sidewalk system north of Basehor-Linwood High School connects the Basehor community to schools, parks, City Hall and VFW but does not extend to the Basehor Community Library. A short additional leg could connect newly developed neighborhoods to the City Center sidewalk system, allowing for safe travel throughout the community.

G22.1. Describe CSP relationship:
|
The existing sidewalk system, to the north, currently connects most of the Basehor City Center locations as well as banks, churches and retail. Extending the sidewalk system past the high school to the community library and to the new neighborhoods encourages an active lifestyle and reduces the need for automotive transportation. The entire sidewalk system would connect all aspects of the city center in less than 2.5 miles.
