Missouri Boulevard Intersection Improvement, Jefferson City (05JEF1050)
Status: Partially completed
City: Jefferson City. Route: Business 50 Location: Selected stretch of Missouri Boulevard: Intersection of Kansas and Missouri Boulevard
Type: Crossing safety for pedestrians and cyclists ? especially children
Description:
Children cross this very busy intersection to go to city's ice arena and park. School + residential area on opposite side of these services. History of pedestrians being struck at this intersection.
Importance:
1. City of Jefferson + MODOT have already agreed this is a good plan. The only obstacle is money. 2. The current Missouri Boulevard is a model of what a road should NOT be: myriad business driveways, only sporadic sidewalks, and unsafe pedestrian crossing
