(DOT) Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) funding for a
$27,500,000 multi-modal project that will improve safety and connectivity in Excelsior Springs
through improvements to current roadways, the addition of sidewalks and trails, and pedestrian
bridge over U.S. Highway 69 (US-69). The project transforms several main corridors, including
US-69, and MO-Route 10 (MO-10) into safely designed complete streets to boost economic

to improve infrastructure, address public health and safety, promote connectivity, and facilitate
economic development. Our project will create jobs, safer corridors, we are adopting transformative
technology in our project, addressing climate change through reduced vehicle trips, increasing
equity by eliminating barriers to community destinations.
