“Access Richmond” Transportation Plan Update to be Presented to City Council
The City of Richmond, the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and TranSystems, a professional transportation and infrastructure planning firm, have been working together on ”Access Richmond” a comprehensive master transportation plan for the City. The purpose of the plan is to guide transportation decisions within the City and provide a framework for short and long-range transportation solutions for years to com.
A series of workshops were held with citizens and business people from the City of Richmond on November 12, 2009 and January 28, 2010. The information gathered at these workshops helped the study team develop transportation project concepts to be included in the Access Richmond Plan. Throughout the process the stakeholders were given the opportunity to guide the elements of the plan through their feedback.
TranSystems, MoDOT and the City of Richmond are providing an update of the study process along with the final, preferred concepts of the Access Richmond Plan to the City Council during the regularly scheduled Council meeting on March 23, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
