Street Projects

This project will provide a new sidewalk, a dedicated bike lane, curb & gutter, push-button pedestrian signals, sidewalk ramps, street lighting improvements, storm sewer improvements, retaining walls, and street trees on the south side of US 24 Highway. The rationale for this project is to address gaps in the current system by improving connectivity for pedestrians and bicyclists and updating ADA-compliant features. 

This project will construct a new shared-use trail along Liberty Street and Pacific Ave., from Lexington Ave. to the Bingham-Waggoner Estate. This will improve safety for bicyclists & pedestrians. The improvements will include the new concrete trail, curb & gutter, ADA ramp, truncated domes, curb inlets, driveway approaches, retaining walls, pavement marking, and signage.

The City has been awarded funding from the Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) to support this project. This will be a 100% federally funded project.

The initial concept for the Noland Road Complete Streets Project will create approximately 1.7 miles of multimodal transportation corridor along Noland Road from 24 Highway to Fair St. This project includes adding dedicated North and southbound bike lanes, upgrading more than three miles of derelict sidewalks into ADA compliance, adding and updating push-button pedestrian signals, and improves transit stops throughout this area. This project's estimated cost is $13.5 million, and it has been awarded a $10.16 million federal RAISE (Rebuilding America's Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity) grant.

The Pavement Preventive Maintenance Project is part of the City's ongoing operations to maintain and improve the quality of its streets. These operations include roadway sealing, crack filling, and full- and partial-depth overlays. Streets are prioritized for maintenance based on their Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score, with the lowest-scoring streets prioritized first.  

This umbrella project funds sidewalk improvements throughout the City to connect neighborhoods to parks and schools by building and upgrading sidewalks to ADA compliance.

This project will provide streetscape improvements at Historic Independence Square, including roadway modifications, sidewalk improvements, lighting enhancements, potential traffic enhancements, and bicycle and pedestrian amenities. This project will be developed in association with the Truman Connected Project.

This project provides a new sidewalk, a dedicated bike lane, curb & gutter, sidewalk ramps, storm sewer improvements, and street trees on Winner, Lexington, the Historic Square, Spring, and Bess Truman Parkway. The rationale for this project is to address gaps in the current system by creating connectivity for pedestrians and bicyclists, improving ADA compliance, and making the area more transit-friendly.

In coordination with the Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Department, this project will implement restoration improvements to the Historic Truman Depot, enabling full use of the Depot as a historic site and improving the existing Amtrak waiting area. This project will also construct a multi-use trail from the entrance to the depot down Pacific Ave to the National Historic Frontier Trails Museum. 

The Winner Road Complete Streets Project will include the addition of ADA-compliant sidewalks, on-street bicycle lanes, pedestrian signal improvements, transit stop enhancements, new green infrastructure, and new street lighting and traffic-calming measures. These improvements will connect residents and commuters from US 24 Highway past Van Horn High School at Truman Road and terminate at the entry of the Englewood Arts District near Hedges Avenue. As part of this project, the intersection of Winner Road and Truman Road will undergo improvements, including alignment adjustments and improved sidewalk and pedestrian connectivity for students at Van Horn High School.

The City has been awarded $5.5 million in federal funding from the Mid-America Regional Council's Surface Transportation Block Grant Program to fund to support this project.
