Project Background:

Wornall Rd. between W 63^rd Street to W Gregory Blvd. is currently identified for a "road diet" ordinance, aiming to improve primary transit routes. The corridor sees an average of 5000 to 6000 vehicles per day and is listed on the city's "high injury network." Border Star Elementary and Southwest Early Collage Campus High are adjacent (within a block) of this area. The corridor is approximately 6569 miles long and serves both residential and mix-uses. The goal behind this project is to reduce crashes and increase traffic and pedestrian safety.

Based on USDOT Equitable Transportation Community Explorer, this corridor falls under: disadvantage of relatively high climate and disaster burden, health vulnerability, environmental burden, and social vulnerability. 

Objective:

• Lower Speeds
• Improve Safety

Features:

• 4 to 3 lane conversion
• Corridor
