Summary of Noland Road Complete Streets

Independence



Project Number: 1261
Organization: Independence
Project Name: Noland Road Complete Streets
City(ies), County(ies), State: Independence,Jackson County, Missouri
Routes, interchanges and/or intersections: 24 Hwy, College St, Truman Rd, Walnut, E. 23rd Street,E. Gudgell Ave., E. 35th Street, 39th Street, Lynn Court, Interstate 70 Hwy, 44th Street, 40 Hwy
Primary Project Mode: Active Transportation 
Supplementary Project Mode(s): * Freight * Highway/Roadway * Transit )
Currently Noland Road primarily serves motorized vehicles and does not have a continuous network of dedicated facilities for pedestrian, bicycle or mobility aid users. By providing continuous ADA compliant sidewalks and ramps, incorporating dedicated bicycle facilities and improving transit facilities a network of transportation facilities will be provided that support the Citys initiative to create a revitalized commercial district by increasing vibrancy, promoting quality development, and achieving accessibility while maintaining and enhancing vehicular traffic movements.
Project Purpose: * System expansion (added capacity) * System preservation, rehabilitation or replacement )
Project Description: In an effort to promote Economic Vitality, increase vibrancy and promote quality development, this project would provide new ADA compliant sidewalks and ramps, push button pedestrian signals, dedicated bike lanes and transit stops improvements. The intent is to provide a multi-modal transportation network that encourages multi-modal use (motor vehicle, pedestrian, transit, bicyclists), provides connections to current bus transit routes and allows for the safe and efficient movement of people. The project will convert existing, dual continuous left-turn lanes to a single two-way left turn lane and utilize the remaining right-of-way to implement dedicated bike facilities along the length of the corridor.
Scope: The Primary travel modes that will be served are motor vehicle, freight, bicycle, pedestrian and transit users. The ultimate build-out project limits are from 24 Hwy to 40 Hwy. The project will be phased between commercial nodes as identified in the Noland Road Development Plan Document. The number of traffic lanes will be reduced and/or modified as required to provide a continuous single left turn lane and dedicated on-street bicycle facilities. In addition, the project will include constructing ADA compliant sidewalks and ramps, curb & gutter, Traffic and push button pedestrian signals, street lighting improvements, storm drainage improvements, retaining walls (where applicable)and street trees. The proposed project will also include transit stop improvements and will provide connections to existing sidewalks and bicycle facilities that exist at minor street intersections along the corridor. Traffic signal system upgrades (battery back-up, pre-emptive signals etc.)and supporting traffic control signage are planned to ensure safe functional and operational coordination with Railroad Crossings throughout the project reach. Ultimately the desire is to transform the corridor into a safe balanced multi-modal system that provides transportation options and ensures equity for all users.
