Infrastructure Policy Directive Policy: Upgrade transportation areas for an increased population ofresidents and visitors
Social Agenda: Make flow of traffic more fluid and allow for more capacity Build a trolley system or similar mode of transport to travel specific
routes within the area.
Repave streets with a higher density concrete that can withstand the
heavier vehicles and higher amount of vehicles traveling on them,
preventing damage such as potholes.
Repair sidewalks and add to them. Possibly add bridges for
pedestrians to pass over heavily trafficked streets that will allow
clearance for tall delivery trucks and allow for better pedestrian flow.
Stakeholders: Kansas City government, residents and property/businessowners and employees
Support/Opposition: The Crossroads Community Association is reluctantto increase density because of the potential effects on views of thedowntown skyline as well as the new Kauffman Center for Performing
Arts.
