Why NOT locate a parkway at the 199th Street alignment?
199th Street extends through the Stilwell area, which is highly developed with residential, public and commercial properties. The necessary right-of-way would displace 51 homes and businesses, including Stilwell Elementary School. The connection with the North Cass Parkway would be less direct and would create additional travel with a longer route. These factors would increase the construction cost, right-of-way impacts for the project, and decrease traffic effectiveness.
