Shoulders on Boundary?

Submitted by Rachel on Mon, 04/25/2011 - 08:14

How does MoDOT decide which roads get shoulders? That is the job of the Regional Planning Commission. For us, it's the Northeast Regional Planning Commission, located in Memphis, MO. Citizens like you can provide input in the process. Call NE RPC transportation contact Kathie Small at (660) 465-7281, and let her know that you use Boundary for running, walking or cycling and it should have shoulders and bike lanes!

Federal transportation rescission

Submitted by Rachel on Wed, 04/20/2011 - 12:16

In the latest budget deal between the Republicans and Democrats, the two parties agreed to rescind (read: take back) $2.5 billion in unspent federal transportation funds. Your state DOT has the power to decide which funds they send back. And based upon history we know what happens next.

MoDOT may try to empty out the funds that pay for your sidewalks, bike lanes, trails, and education programs.
