Project will provide a sidewalk on one side of the street, a ten foot multi-purpose path on the other, a two lane grass median divided parkway with turn lanes as necessary and on-street bike facilities. The project will connect the residents of the Line Creek Valley to Line Creek and Hopewell Elementary Schools and allow a safe route to school and will also connect to the Line Creek Trail, Line Creek Community Center, Line Creek Park, and the Englewood Boulevard complete street reconstruction currently underway. Project will include proper street lighting necessary for an urban area, safe transit stops for ATA users, and storm water mitigation. It may be a joint with Platte County taking as previous phases of Waukomis Drive/Line Creek Parkway upgrades have occurred.
Scope: Project reconstructs Waukomis Drive, originally built in the 1910’s as the St. Joe to Kansas City Interurban Railroad and then built in 1942 as Missouri Route AA, as Line Creek Parkway. The Parkway will be a two lane parkway with median and on-street bike lanes with a multi-use trail on the east side and a sidewalk on the west side. It will be designed to maintain the character of the area as desired by residents during the Line Creek Area and Development planning process.
