Missouri High Priority Bike/Ped/ADA Projects

Gene Field Mode Preservation, St Joseph (01STJ1028)

Status:

City: St. Joseph.    Route: I-29 Bridge    Location: Gene Field Rd. Bridge over I-29

Type: Shoulder, Sidewalk

Description:
Bridge Re-Deck or Replacement needs to include sidewalks linking neighborhoods and schools in the area. Shoulder should be wide enough to allow bike use as well. This project should be an ordinary component of the bridge deck replacement - not an extra project. The corridor links residential areas, with a school at the western fringe. The lack of pedestrian access is already known as a safety concern for the neighborhood. Providing a shoulder width of 3' or more will also support bicycle access.

Importance:
Project would be a well-planned investment, consistent with the polices of the MPO and supportive of existing pedestrian movements in the area. It will remove an existing safety hazard in the area as well and coordinate with local investments in the medium term.

Obstacles:
No - the project will likely be scheduled in the next few years so simply designing the project correctly from the start will be quite easy to accomplish.
