Description:
Improve I-44/Hwy 63 interchange at Rolla for Bicycling & Walking. Add shoulders to Hwy 63 from the Interchange north to the county road that meet Hwy 63.
Just adding shoulders would help a lot a may cost less than $500,000.
Importance:
The HWY 63 overpass at I-44 is unfriendly for cyclists or walkers, as is HWY 63 north to the city limits. There are nice paved county roads for riding up that way, but it is prohibitive for cyclists to reach them unless traffic is extremely light for some reason. There are also quite a few businesses that could be reached on foot or by bicycle, and right now it can be downright scary to attempt to go there without jumping in the car.
