Missouri Transit Corridors Improvements
Approximately $1.42 million in TIGER funds will be used for Missouri corridors transit improvements (North Oak Trafficway and U.S. 24 and U.S. 40 corridors in eastern Jackson County). The project consists of improving bus stops and increasing pedestrian access to and from these bus stops.
The bus-stop improvements generally consist of a concrete pad in the street, where warranted, and a concrete pad at the back of the curb that forms the passenger waiting area and provides for passenger amenities. The amenities — shelters, signs, benches, etc. — will vary depending on the needs at each location.
Pedestrian connection improvements will also be made to provide better access to bus stops in certain corridors. These will consist of new sidewalks and, where necessary, ADA curb-ramp installations. The specific locations for each of these transit stop and pedestrian improvements as well as the detailed list of amenities at each location are in the draft scope documents.
