Gillham Plaza Complete Streets: Section 2
Categories:- Completed- KCMO Capital Projects (Public Works)
Project Description:
This project will install Complete Streets improvements--improved pedestrian crossings and a two-way cycletrack-- on Gillham Road from 39th Street to Brush Creek Boulevard. The goals of this project align with KCMO's Complete Street ordinance to make our streets safer and more accessible for all users: bicyclists, pedestrians, transit-users, and vehicles. This project is also progress in completing an important bikeway link connecting Midtown to Downtown.
