Project Description

The City of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, requests $21,500,000 in U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) funding for a $27,500,000 multimodal project.  This project will improve the safety and connectivity in Excelsior Springs through improvements to current roadways, the addition of sidewalks and trails, and pedestrian bridge over US-69. The project transforms several main corridors, including US-69, and MO-10 into safely designed complete streets to boost economic competitiveness for a small-town community. Grant funds will be used to construct roadway and intersection improvements, sidewalks and shared-use paths, manage stormwater runoff, and enhance the streetscape. Excelsior Springs’ project aligns with the goals to improve infrastructure, address public health and safety, promote connectivity, and facilitate economic development.  Our project will create jobs, safer corridors, adopt transformative technology, address climate change through reduced vehicle trips and increase equity by eliminating barriers to community destinations.
