The motion passed unanimously. 5. Communications Received None 6. Old Business No Old Business 7. New Business A. Transportation Alternative Program Grant Rankings Mr. Barron stated MoDOT has tasked CAMPO with ranking the four grant applications within the CAMPO boundaries. Central District received nine applications totaling $5.2 million in requested funding, but only $1.1 million dollars is available in grant funding this round. Within the MoDOT review process, applications are analyzed based on a points system. The minimum grant amount is $100,000 and the maximum grant amount rewarded will be $500,000 per project. Mr. Barron provided a brief overview of each project followed by additional information provided by representatives of each project. Mr. Landwehr provided an overview of the Rainbow Drive Sidewalk project. This is a continuation of a previously funded project thru the state, known as the safe routes to schools’ program. This project would be a continuation of that project from 2015, where sidewalks were installed in front of Pioneer Trail School from Business 50 to Hunters Run and will connect to a subdivision that goes into the city and would provide sidewalk access into the city. Ms. Bowden discussed the Falcon Lane Pedestrian Improvements project. When Blair Oaks has a sporting event, Falcon Lane is closed down during the event, because of the use of the high school parking lot for the events. The ditch lines on the side of the road are extremely steep, making it impossible for anyone to walk in the grass. The hope is for this sidewalk project and the road widening to all occur at the same time to minimize construction delays and closures for the school and area. Mr. Bange advised the Boggs Creek project will connect the Greenway to Riverside Park, which may help with the lack of parking in the area of the new Amphitheater. This would also provide a nice way around the large hill that exists between St. Louis Road and Grant Street. There is a 13-acre parcel that is in the process of being donated to the Parks Department, this project would serve as the connection to the new 13-acre property. Two easements would still be needed for this project. Mr. Bange provided information on the Stadium and Satinwood Project. This plan would include road improvements including a roundabout to improve roadway alignment and new box culverts to help with flooding problems in the area. Another component of this project is to create ADA access across and thru the intersection. After a brief discussion, Mr. Lester moved and Mr. Ruediger seconded a motion for approval of the ranking order (1. Falcon Lane Pedestrian Improvements, 2. Boggs Creek Greenway, 3. Rainbow Drive Sidewalk, and 4. Stadium and Satinwood Pedestrian Improvements) and instruct staff to forward the ranking order to MoDOT. The motion passed unanimously.
