Jackson Drive will be a three lane wide street to transport travellers north or south in eastern Independence. It will mostly be on a new alignment. The three travel lanes will provide safe travel for motorists. There will be a sidewalk for pedestrians and a shared use bicycle/pedestrian path along the street. Transit service accesses the southern project limit and the street improvement may allow transit service expansion.
Project Purpose: * System expansion (added capacity) * System preservation, rehabilitation or replacement * System operations and management )
Project Description: The primary user of the street will be motorists. Jackson Drive is an arterial street that carries north-south traffic through eastern Independence. A sidewalk will be build along Jackson Drive for use by pedestrians. A shared bike/ped trail will be built along the other side of Jackson Drive for use by bicyclists. Transit service is provided along Jackson Drive, south of 78 Highway, which is the limit of prior Jackson Drive improvements. It is expected that transit service will be extended on a new Jackson Drive as it is completed.
Scope: Jackson Drive will be built as a three lane street, with two through lanes and a center turn lane. Currently traffic is using rural two lane streets that do not meet current standards for arterial streets. The Jackson Drive improvements will connect at each end to previously completed phases of the project. The new project is 2.6 miles long. It will include a new bridge over Spring Branch Creek. There will be intersection improvements at 78 Highway, Truman Road Salisbury Road, and Bundschu Road.
