Background
The senior Urban Planning and Design studio at the University of Missouri – Kansas City collaborated with the City to develop a proposal for the corridor’s future. The process involved a comprehensive analysis of the corridor’s existing conditions and a review of the City’s plans, including the Parkville Master Plan 2040. For the corridor’s future development, the project adopted the complete streets concept to create safe corridor environments for all road users. The proposal in this report includes recommended future land use and road improvements along the corridor. The roadway improvements includes a complete streets design, roundabouts, and green infrastructure.
