What environmental impacts would a parkway have on the area?
KDOT, MoDOT and MARC will perform the environmental analysis for the study area. A preliminary assessment of environmental impacts helped the Study Team recommend a preliminary alignment. This alignment will be evaluated in more detail during the Environmental Assessment phase of the project that will begin following the June 5, 2007, public meeting. This project considers all reasonable alternatives to avoid impacts to the environment. If impacts are unavoidable, then mitigation will be conducted as part of the project to minimize impacts.
