)
MO D Hwy carries traffic between N Hwy, Running Horse Rd & the I-435 Interchange. As well, it connects two developing subdivisions of Seven Bridges and Lakes at Oakmont. Residents and school buses use D Hwy to access Running Horse Rd which leads to the main business district/Platte Co. R-III High School Complex in Platte City. Too, it directs residents to areas where they work, recreate, shop etc. locally and or to I-435 to connect with Kansas City, MO. A new walking/biking trail along D Hwy presents a future opportunity to connect with the existing Prairie Creek Greenway Trail. The current road condition is a narrow, hilly two lane road with minimal shoulders. The project would be an opportunity to install a bike/walking path for the benefit of recreation, improving safety for drivers, and mitigating drainage issues. The project would allow residents multiple options of travel.

Scope: |
This 1.5 mile long improvement project would consist of two lanes and appropriate shoulders. Roadside slopes and vertical curves would be adjusted for improved safety and visibility. Additional R/W would be acquired at this time to accommodate future lane additions.
