The 20th Street Streetscape Project is an implementation measure of the Greater Downtown Area Plan (GDAP) and the result of a Request for Qualifications issued by the City of Kansas City Missouri Planning & Development Department on May 18th, 2010. A primary goal of the GDAP was to make walkability the highest transportation priority in the downtown area, and Project 1-N, a specific action step within the GDAP, called for a “road diet” and associated streetscape improvements for 20th Street.
The purpose of the 20th Street Streetscape Plan is to:
- Serve as a comprehensive guide for future streetscape improvements along the 20th Street right-of-way from West Pennway Street to McGee Street.
- Focus on specific streetscape improvements, including cost estimates, from Central Street to McGee Street.
- Outline future phases of work to fully implement the 20th Street Streetscape Plan, from West Pennway Street to McGee Street.
Any recommendations made in this document will be more fully defined during subsequent phases of work. The purpose of this document is to initiate Project 1–N in the GDAP’s implementation matrix and create a unified, cohesive streetscape framework that supports the five primary goals of the GDAP:
- Create a walkable downtown.
- Double the population downtown.
- Increase employment downtown.
- Retain and promote safe, authentic neighborhoods.
- Promote sustainability.
