Project Purpose:	* System expansion (added capacity) * System operations and management )
Project Description:	This project will consist of a new roadway approximately 2 miles in length that would serve as a direct connection point between the north side of Basehor proper and K-7 Highway as well as the new 147th Street expansion project completed by Leavenworth County in 2018. This new road construction project will include the construction of a bridge to traverse a large drainage way, it would also be constructed to Basehors current Arterial Street Design criteria, these requirements include the construction of a 10 wide MUP for both pedestrian and bicyclists.
Scope:	The project is expected to extend approximately 2 miles and consist of up to 4 lanes with the inclusion of a 10 wide MUP and a 5 wide sidewalk, this will provide connectivity for our citizens to pursue a more active transportation mode. It will aid motorists in providing another access point to and from residences on the north end of our community. Several major activities would need to take place as there is no roadway in existence at this time along a portion of the proposed project, including but not limited to site grading and improvements, bridge construction, utility placement and other pertinent construction activity. Upgrades to the K-7/Donahoo Road intersection may need to take place as well, including a potential traffic signal.

Donahoo Rd was identified by the state as a future cross state route many years ago. Wyandot County has already improved much of Donahoo to K-7 and the state improved the intersection on I-435. It is now time for the road to be continued into Leavenworth County and provide better access to the northern portion of Basehor .
