Presentations - Trevor Harris, University of Missouri Extension
--Missouri Livable Streets: Working with cities and towns across the state to help create stronger,
more vibrant communities.
Mr. Harris explained that livable streets are transportation facilities that consider the needs of all
users and stated that local examples of livable streets include E. McCarty Street, Leslie Boulevard
and the mid -block crosswalk on Adams Street. Mr. Harris explained that Columbia, Kansas City and
Independence are among Missouri communities which have adopted Livable Streets policies, and
that Mid-America Regional Council was the first MPO in Missouri to include Livable Streets
language in their Long Range Transportation Plan. Mr. Harris invited Board members to attend the
Livable Streets Advocacy Training scheduled for August 10, 2011 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the
Cole County MU Extension Center.
Mr. Griffith suggested mentioning in the training session tools that can be used to apply for
grants. Mr. Harris explained that he does in fact, have a list of local, state and federal sources that
fund livable streets programs.
Mr. Scrivner commented that Congress needs to rethink the policy on greenways funding in terms
of neighborhood greenways. He stated that park systems and cities should work together to
develop collector greenways in neighborhoods that connect the city together. Mr. Scrivner
explained that doing so would require a change in policy on the part of Congress and their
transportation funding.
Mr. Juranas inquired as to whether this would address sidewalks throughout the state that need
maintenance or are not ADA accessible. In response, Mr. Harris responded that most sidewalk
maintenance is the responsibility of the property owners, and suggested that local governments
establish a sidewalk maintenance program.
