In September, The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), the City of Kansas City, Missouri, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) began an environmental study on the Buck O’Neil Bridge. Next week, the public is invited to attend an informational, open-house meeting to learn more about the study and the next steps in the environmental process. The meeting is Thursday, February 7, 2019 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Mid-America Regional Council at 600 Broadway Blvd., Ste 200, Kansas City, Missouri 64105
The environmental study builds on the planning and environmental linkages (PEL) study to further evaluate options to improve or potentially replace the U.S. 169 bridge over the Missouri River in Kansas City.
The team will evaluate potential impacts to historic structures, including the existing Buck O’Neil Bridge, and other resources in the study area such as public parks, open spaces, cultural assets, and people and businesses in and around the area.
The study, which is scheduled to conclude in late 2019, will require public input. Learn more about the study here: https://bit.ly/2G8MvLd
