The future of the Roads Master Plan and consideration of the ⅜ cent retail sales tax
I believe it is wise to forecast and plan for the anticipated transportation needs of Platte County.
Transportation helps shape an area’s economic health and quality of life. Not only does the transportation system provide for the mobility of people and goods, it also influences patterns of growth and economic activity by providing access to land.
This planning recognizes the critical links between transportation and other societal goals such as resource consumption, equity of services, land use, urban growth, economic development, safety, and security. The planning process is more than merely listing highway and transit capital projects. It requires developing strategies for operating, managing, maintaining, and financing the area’s transportation system in such a way as to advance the area’s long-term goals.
We are considering our business community to see what impacts commerce will have over the next 5, 10 or 20 years. And our plan should be Dynamic, not Static due to the nature of the assets.
But the one thing we really need to focus on is… Maintenance vs. New Improvement Projects & reducing bridge liability
