For the area of influence there is a need for a grocery store and possibly a hotel at 63rd Street.

If the overpass design choice is chosen do bridges require more maintenance? Bridges freeze quicker in the winter than then rest of the road

How will the higher capacity of the highway alternative affect traffic downtown? Currently there are issues where the highways meet 71-670

The Highway crossings are too far apart pedestrians try to cross the highway, improving pedestrian access will increase the safety for all.

If the Highway alternative takes access away it will negatively affect the businesses! How will they decide which streets will get on ramps?

What’s going to happen with the neighborhoods and the construction? Also, what new initiatives and developments will accompany the project?

Remove traffic lights. Overpasses/underpasses with dedicated pedestrian bridges, tunnels, or underpasses. Traffic volume demands efficiency.

Green sound and carbon barriers (rows of trees and shrubs) along the sides of the road to improve air quality and reduce noise

US 71 should be turned into a traditional freeway and the signalized intersections should be replaced with overpass bridges for safety.

Freeway! The density of traffic being moved NandS demands it. It is a primary north /south byway for the eastside. FREEWAY

Transform 71 into a boulevard with a light rail in the median that takes you into downtown. East/West streetcars to connect the city.

71 is vital but unsafe and inefficient. Modernize it for safety, better flow, and usable green space—don’t remove what KC depends on.

Could add BRT lanes in the unused space of 71 highway as it stands now, if the street grid is reconnected it'd see heavy use.

South KC metro only has 1 direct "highway" to downtown via 71 while the Northland has at least 5 direct highways. Freeway option only!

People walk this area - make overpasses and literally connect the neighborhoods safely

Can we put solar panel arrays in some of the green space. This could generate power for lighting on the expressway and the surrounding area.

Eliminate light at 59th 63rd and 55th are not that far but allow turn offs south and north. Rush HR would flow better.

Flood Mitigation: Mitigate flooding with rain gardens, permeable surfaces, and storm water systems—protect neighborhoods & cut energy costs

Smart Engagement: “Deploy smart sensors & interactive kiosks at intersections to track air, energy, heat, 🦶traffic while engaging viewers

A Rock Island Bridge @ Gregory Ridge: Connecting Prospect to Chestnut in a Rock Island-style bridge for crossing, trailheads, entertainment

Green Infrastructure: Install butterfly roofs & mini wind turbines down the center + native grasses, to cut maintenance & up sustainability

Revenue Model: Make the Rebuild US-71 project a neighborhood revenue generator—like Alaska’s Permanent Fund—sharing proceeds with residents

All three of the traffic light intersections on BRWD were originally built with the option of bridges in the future. Do it now.

Just make sure whatever is done, do it well, and insure that it is maintained. Improvements get made but then are not kept up. Thanks

Take out the stop lights, and put in overpasses with Pedestrian walkways.

money, real estate investment duplexes with storage units

Drinks, chips, candy, popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream, and snow cones, for the kids

looking for more literacy options

community needs a community center for our children

space for kids to play people to congregate bring back bus transit safe crossing over us-71

community center, kids activities, swimming, therapy center

overpass for safe crossing more parks community pool stop signs add curves to us71 make people pay attention

rain with sleeping car housing streetcar goes further than downtown, should go all over

train, more lanes to get on the highway, and a pedestrian bridge

green spaces, grocery stores, shopping center lower speed limit

Figure out how to use the green space in median

Sound barrier + Bike Paths + Dedicated Pedestrian thru-ways + Heat Pocket Mitigation

Why are you cutting bus routes?

PUBLIC TRANSIT

Reconnect community lights at Gregory to Cross take long

Pedestrian islands, speed zone sign for school

Remove traffic signals. Put in off-ramps for vehicles that need to exit.

Reduce crashes by slowing traffic

Grocery store

Better Youth Centers

Osage Living Nation Heritage Museum!

49th is a dumping area for many. Cameras are needed ASAP by apartments of Blue Parkway

Connect Brush Creek trails with Town Fork Creek Grenway, Meyer Blvd, & The Paseo to create bikeable loop.

clean up that creek!

How much will it cost the tax payer? Details

A tram for residents not tourists

Can we make this more of a boulevard like Ward Parkway?

Can have 71 connect to MLK and route traffic onto 435.

Connect trail to 63rd St.

How can the corridor serve those who live in it, rather than those who drive it?

Make it a blvd like The Esplanade in Chico, CA: tree lined, 2 street lanes either direction, mobility lane removed from road.

Tear it out and build like SW TFWY
