Who is in support of the study?
All participating study partners are in support of the study. A final decision on the project is still in progress. While there has been vocal opposition to this study from many residents within the study area, other property owners have expressed that they would like to see safety improved in the area and are in support of a parkway concept. Additionally, from a cross-county and regional perspective, there is support for transportation investments in this area to improve east-west travel between Johnson County and Cass County, as well as to other points in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Finally, a regional phone survey indicated that transportation improvements in southern Johnson County and northern Cass County were needed.
