Background:
Work is being done to design and get funding for the Paseo bridgebike/ped ramps that MODOT said has to happen to get them to completethe bike/ped lane on the bridge. There are 2 separate KCMO council resolutions asking for it and a regional River Crossing Policy that recommends it. KCMO is committed to it and MODOT needs to see that they must stand behind their agreement to finish the bike/ped lane on the bridge deck if other agencies can get the connecting ramps there.
