Crowd at Community Summit #2

Thank you for joining us in this ongoing conversation at the June 24th Community Summit #2.

Did you miss it? No problem! Did you join us and think of something else to share? Our website includes all of the resources that were available at the Community Summit, and it is not too late to share your ideas!

For Community Summit #2, all members of the public are encouraged to share their experiences and priorities related to this important corridor. You can "be the designer" and re-imagine the US-71 corridor! Input received as part of Community Summit #2 will be used in the development of alternatives.

Project Areas

The first phase of the project focuses two distinct Study Areas: Area of Influence and Area of Potential Effect.

  • ​Area of Influence

    The project’s area of influence generally is bounded by Paseo Boulevard to the west, Swope Parkway to the east, Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to the north, and East 85th Street to the south.

  • Area of Potential Effect

    The project’s area of potential effect generally follows US-71 between Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and East 85th Street, including a narrow buffer on either side of US-71 (roughly Prospect Avenue to South Benton Boulevard.) This area is intended to be wide enough (plus about 50 feet in either direction) to cover any potential improvement strategies and their potential construction limits.
