Project Description:	The intent of this project is to make upgrades to the state highway system where it meets the local street systems. Proposed improvements would benefit mainly motorists, however, improvements would allow for accommodations to be made to improve pedestrian safety at dangerous intersections as well as allow for accommodations for bicyclists where accommodations were not provided in the past. This project would be broken up into smaller projects focused on specific intersections, interchanges, corridors, and bridges. Improvements to the State Highway system will allow for coordinated improvements with local agencies which could reduce traffic congestion, improve safety, and allow for greater accommodations for all modes of transportation.
Scope:	The proposed project consists of mainly intersection/interchange replacements and reconfigurations. Intersections included are I-70 and 110th Street, I-70 and I-435, I-70 and I-635, I-70 and 18th Street, I-70 and US-69; I-435 and State Ave, I-435 and Parallel, K-7 and Parallel, K-7 and Leavenworth, K-7 and Donahoo, K-7 and Hollingsworth, K-7 and Polfer, K-7 and Marxen, State Avenue and Village West Parkway in conjunction with I-435 and State, I-35 and Lamar, I-354 and Mission/SW Boulevard.
