Is truck traffic and the need for infrastructure to support it driving the study?
No trucking or freight companies are financially contributing to or are involved in the South Metro Connection Study. The trend in Johnson and Cass counties suggests increases in jobs and employment, which corresponds to population growth. Local truck traffic will likely increase somewhat in the area due to projected growth. Interstate truck traffic on local roads can be an issue depending on the location and type of facility recommended. The likelihood of trucks using local roads as a cut-through route will be reviewed by the study team.
