City: St. Joseph. Route: State Rt. YY (Mitchell Ave.) Location: YY: Belt to Rt. AC
Type: Shoulder, Sidewalk
Description:
Extend sidewalks east and west from Missouri Western State University.
Importance:
The university could be a major pedestrian and bicycle traffic generator, except that it is isolated with no facilities. A recent development project in the area developed sidewalks on much of the frontage of the university (as well as sidewalks on the bridge over I-29), but the connections east and west have not been constructed. Shoulders or a shared lane for bikes should be created as well.
