Open-House Public Meeting

on Preliminary Design of

Woods Chapel Road Improvements in Jackson County

Thursday, November 12, 4 to 7 p.m.

Howard Brown Safety Building Multipurpose Room

1100 SW Smith Street, Blue Springs, MO 64015

Join MoDOT and the City of Blue Springs for an open-house public meeting on the preliminary plans of the Woods Chapel Road and I-70 improvements in Jackson County. Attendees will be given the opportunity to be heard concerning their views on the plans with reference to the design, its impact on the environment and its consistency with goals and objectives of the community.

The proposed project extends from the westbound ramps at the I-70 interchange to south of Briarwood/Castle Drive. The northern portion of the corridor is primarily commercial in nature, with additional planned retail development on the west side of Woods Chapel Road. South of Valley View Drive, the corridor transitions to primarily residential development. Continuing traffic growth along the corridor has created the need to improve the roadway and the I-70 interchange.
