This project is one of six in the Lee's Summit Thoroughfare Master Plan. Funding for this project comes from the extension of the 1/2 cent sales tax (for Transportation Improvements) passed by voters in the spring of 2007. The project will construct a new roadway from M-291 east to the intersection of Hamblen Road and Bailey Road. A significant part of the project will be the design and construction of a bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad.
Design work is nearing completion. Since the property acquisition and construction agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad will not be completed in time to meet the proposed construction start date, the work will be split into two construction projects. The west portion, from M-291 to a point approximately 1000 feet to the east, will be constructed this summer. Pfizer's entrance will be relocated, and the improvements will allow the development of the adjoining property. The remaining portion, including the bridge over the UPRR, will be built as soon as an agreement is reached with the Union Pacific Railroad.

Relocation of approximately 2,300 linear feet of 6-inch and 8-inch water mains and service connections along Bayview Drive from Channel Dr to Shore Line Drive. Plans include relocating the line along the existing roadway due to the numerous obstructions along the existing alignment.
The existing line is deep and located under retaining walls, sidewalks and landscaping features, which results in high maintenance costs when repairs are needed. The main has experienced several breaks.
This project was scheduled for construction during the summer of 2011. This project has since been combined with the Water Main Rehab-FY 2011 and the Water Main Rehab-FY 2012 projects. The estimated construction schedule includes the combination of all three projects in the 2011-2015 Capital Improvement Program for Water Utilities projects. Estimated start and completion dates will vary between each project location as work proceeds.

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.
Design is approximately 98% 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. Acquisition of right-of-way, utility relocation and construction will be deferred until TIF funds are available to cover associated project costs. Such funding is contingent on development activity within the TIF Area.

In accordance with the City Council adopted Airport Business Plan, this project includes the earthwork for the 100 foot wide extension of the existing Runway 18-36 from 4,014 feet to 5,300 feet and for the extension of the west parallel taxiway.
Extension of the runway will allow operations of a greater variety of business class aircraft under a greater range of weather conditions. This project will serve to improve the airport and allow more corporate jets to use the facility. These improvements should increase the economic value of the airport to the city. In addition the existing west parallel taxiway is located at 225 feet from Runway 18-36, which is less than the standard separation for a Class C airport. The taxiway is to be relocated to 400 feet from Runway i8-36, which meets the Class C standard.
Crawford, Murphy and Tilly (CMT) began the design in May, 2011. Application for environmental permits have been submitted. The design is approximately 60% copmplete and construction can begin in Spring of 2012 if the FAA Grants are in place to fund the project.

The Tudor Road Improvements project will complete the connection between NW Road Ward and NE Douglas Street. The proposed road will be a divided four lane, built to arterial standards, and have street lights, a sidewalk and a multi-use path. A major component of the project is a bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad. Due to the time required to have the Union Pacific review and approve the bridge over their tracks, the project will be built in two phases. Phase one, from Main to Douglas, is expected to be under construction this fall and completed by winter. Phase two will commence construction upon completion of the agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad, and work on phase two is estimated to begin in the spring of 2012. Depending on construction costs, additional work could include turn lane improvements to the high school and a left turn lane onto NE Woodbury Lane.
The Tudor Road Improvements project was approved by voters during the November 2010 no tax increase general obligation bond election. This project will provide another arterial link between Ward Road and Douglas Street and open up approximately 190 acres to development.
Council approved the design contract in March 2011. Design work has begun.Construction on the east end of the project could begin as early as fall 2011.

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 of the permanent signal is approximately 90 percent complete. Right of way acquisition is complete although permits from the railroad have not been obtained at this time. This project was on hold while the improvements to Longview Road and its intersection with Ward were underway. City staff has also investigated the possible realignment of the east leg of Persels to line up with Persels to the west of Ward. The realignment across the railroad R/W would be a challenge. Discussions are underway between area communities and the Union Pacific RR regarding acquisition of the R/W. Staff is evaluating the possibility of deferring the project until the railroad R/W might be acquired which would provide the opportunity to realign Persels. No decisions has been made at this time. The temporary signal is functioning adequately in the meantime.
