Project Background: 

• Previous public engagement process took place through the 2017 Gillham Road Planning Sustainable Places Study
• Recommendations from this plan informed the final project design
• The KCMO staff mobility committee met monthly in 2019 to refine the conceptual design and come up with an implementable project
• Project funding is provided by the Complete Streets set-aside in the 2019-2020 Street Preservation Budget 

Traffic Impact: 

There is no work occurring at this time. Once construction starts later this spring/early summer, traffic will still be able to travel on Gillham, but the active construction and equipment will result in reduced travel lanes and possibly delays. 

Transit Impacts: 

• This project will remove three bus stops:
  • Two northbound stops: at Gillham Plaza and at Gillham Rd/34^th
  • One southbound stop: at Gillham Rd/34^th
• The northbound bus stops at Armour and Linwood will be preserved and improved. 

Project Timeline: 

The northern section of the facility from Linwood to McGee Trafficway will be installed in late spring/early summer 2021, along with traffic signal upgrades. This will complete the work for this phase (Armour Boulevard to McGee Trafficway).
