Description:
Designate Old US Highway 61 between S. Kingshighway/US 61 and intersection of S. Sprigg St./State Highway 74 as bicycle route. This will require new shoulders with striped/stenciled/signed bicycle travel lanes New paved shoulders and a push-button activated signal upgrade at the existing Kingshighway intersection would be required to complete this project
Importance:
[0.6 miles] Old US 61/MO 74. This short stretch of Old US Highway 61/MO 74 is a connector link between the termination of the City of Cape Girardeau bicycle corridors on Silver Springs Road and South Sprigg Street. South Sprigg Street ends at this point and becomes MO State Highway 74. The MRT follows the S. Sprigg/MO 74 route and continues westward towards Dutchtown from this intersection. Cape Central High School and the Career & Technology Center are located at the end of Silver Springs Road near this proposed improvement.
