Extension of Blackwell Road across 50 Highway, having a diamond interchange. Construction of Blue Parkway to Blackwell Road and Oldham Parkway to Smart Road, with an intersection at Blackwell Road. This project will be fully funded by the East 50 HWY TIF and managed by the City of Lee's Summit. MoDOT, City of Lake Lottawanna and Jackson County are supporting agencies with property interests and/or ownership.
Traffic conditions at the interchange of Todd George Parkway and 50 Highway will not accomodate the immediate and projected growth of surrounding development. Improvements to Todd George Parkway interchange are planned, but cannot mitigate the traffic congestion without alternate access to 50 Highway in eastern Lee's Summit. Blackwell interchange has been planned for over 40 years. Blackwell interchange will relieve some of the congestion at Todd George Parkway and surrounding streets, provide better access to eastern Lee's Summit, minimize the impact of travel during construction at Todd George Interchange, encourage economic development in the newly annexed property and meet the City's long range traffic demand.
TranSystems was selected as the design firm, teamed with HDR. Design is approximately 85% complete. The interchange has been designed with roundabout traffic control where the ramps intersect with Blackwell Road and at the intersection of Blackwell Road and Blue Parkway/Shenandoah Drive. All permits and enviornmental clearances have been approved. Design will be completed, but acquisition of right-of-way and construction will be deferred until TIF funds are available to cover project costs.

This project will occur only when additional development along Pryor Road occurs, which will create the need to make the connection from the water line on Scherer to the end of the line near Eagle Creek subdivision.

This project involves the reconstruction of Pryor Road from Scherer Road to Longview Road. Though right-of-way for the ultimate improvements is acquired, only interim improvements are being constructed at this time. The ultimate improvements (expanding the road to a four-lane arterial) are unfunded. The schedule for those improvements will depend on future development in the area.
Pryor Road is a major north-south corridor in the western portion of the City. The projected increase in traffic in this area, due to commercial development at Hwy 50 & I-470 and the construction of an interchange at Pryor and I- 470, warrants the need for improvements.
Pryor Road Interim Improvements General comments: After removal of the old road, sight distances will be improved by flattening the hills and raising the valleys. While it will remain a two lane road, each lane will be widened to 12 feet and a 6 foot shoulder will be added. Turn lanes on Pryor will be added at each of the intersections. Storm water will continue to be carried alongside the road in open ditches and underneath the road in new box culverts. The interim improvements will not include any sidewalks, bike paths or traffic signals. In order to facilitate traffic coordination with the Longview Road Improvements, the work from Scherer to Longview should begin in the spring of 2010. Construction of the improvements will not allow traffic on Pryor, between Scherer and Longview. The Pryor and Scherer intersection will also be rebuilt, though those improvements can only be undertaken during school recess. Before construction starts, details about the schedule and the detour routes will be issued in a press release. The contractor has been chosen, and the construction contract is in the approval process. The pre-construction meeting will be held in February, and this information will be updated following that meeting.

This project is the design and construction of two half- diamond interchanges on I- 470, one at Pryor Road and one at Blue Parkway, as well as collector-distributor roads between the two, over the existing I-470/US 50 interchange. The improvements at Pryor are required as part of the TIF agreement for the Summit Woods retail center, and are funded by the Summit Woods Transportation Development District (TDD). The remainder of the interchange project will be funded from a combination of TIF and state funds. MoDOT is managing the project.
Increased traffic associated with the retail center and the Summit Technology Campus severely impacts the function of the already overloaded I- 470/Hwy 50/Chipman interchange. The interchanges at Pryor and Blue Parkway will divert traffic away from the existing 470-50 interchange, alleviating some of the existing congestion.
The construction of Pryor Road interchange is complete. Blue Parkway interchange and connectors are under construction. Construction of Blue Parkway interchange and the connectors is expected to complete in June 2010, with Blue Parkway interchange open to traffic in the fall of 2009.

The purpose of this project is to increase sanitary sewer capacity and reduce the potential for backups. Also erosion and settlement problems have caused damage to the existing line and repairs are difficult due to poor access to the area. Project design involves replacement and upsizing of approximately 1610 ft of existing sanitary sewer line (104 lineal feet of 8-inch pipe and 1506 24-inch pipe) along the stream near the intersection of Bristol and Lyon Drives. In areas where the stream has previously eroded and damaged the sewer the new pipe will be incased in concrete, there is approximately 203 lineal feet of encased pipe planed in various locations along the alignment.
The existing sanitary system line is undersized and damaged. Emergency repairs have been required several times. Repair and maintenance work is difficult due to the line's location in the stream.
All of the sewer main is complete. There is some restoration work remaining.

This project involves the construction of an interchange at Strother Road and I- 470 Highway. A TDD/TIF has been approved for the Chapel Ridge development which will provide funding to design and construct the interchange and various adjacent roadway improvements. In addition to the TIF/TDD funding, $8 million of federal funding is available for construction.
As development continues in this area traffic demands will warrant an interchange between Colbern Road and Woods Chapel on I-470. This project will provide additional access to the Airport and developments west of I-470 and open up the property east of I-470 for future developments.
Strother Road Interchange on I-470 and Todd George Parkway from Colbern Rd. to Woods Chapel Rd. Construction began on Nov. 17, 2008 on the Strother Road Interchange. Bridges are open to traffic. The Todd George Parkway plans and specifications are now complete and under review & revision with input by MoDOT and the FHWA.

This project includes installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Ward Road and Longview Road, and construction of a southbound right turn and a northbound left turn on Ward. Improvements on Longview Road, including realignment with South Lea Drive will be part of the Longview Road project. Federal funding of $544,000 will be available for construction. The City's portion of the project will be funded from the Road & Bridge fund.
Traffic signal warrant study (1998) verified that existing traffic volumes warrant a traffic signal at this intersection.
Plans are approximately 95% complete and all right-of-way has been acquired. This project will be constructed around the same time as the completion of the east end of Longview Road Phase 2. A temporary traffic signal has been installed at the existing intersection to relieve congestion and improve safety until the permanent improvements are completed.

Installation of a traffic signal and geometric turn lanes at Ward Road and Persels Road. Currently, the east and west legs of Persels Road are offset due to the location of the inactive railroad tracks. In order to expedite the design and construction, the project will not utilize federal funding. Federal funding of $700,000 previously allocated for this project was transferred to the Lansgford Road project in FY2005.
A traffic study identified this intersection as warranting a traffic signal due to existing traffic volumes. Auxiliary turn lanes will facilitate turning movements and provide better progression through the intersection.
Design is approximately 90 percent complete. Right of way acquisition is completed. The project was on hold for about two years while the City considered whether to realign Persels Road and discussed with the Union Pacific RR options regarding the right-of-way. The City has decided not to realign Persels Road and has submitted permit applications for the work within the RR right-of-way.
The City has constructed a temporary signal for the intersection. The operation of the temporary signal requires that, after vehicles turn left from Persels onto Ward Rd, they must stop at the RED light on Ward Rd. The permanent signal is capable of being designed to eliminate that short RED.
