Sidewalks, turn lanes proposed for East Fifth Street under STP application
Summary
City staff described an STP application to East-West Gateway for East Fifth Street improvements that would add sidewalks on portions of both sides of the road and turn lanes at the signal; construction likely around 2028.
City staff described a proposal for East Fifth Street improvements that was submitted as an STP application to the East-West Gateway regional planning organization. The proposed work includes sidewalks on portions of both sides of East Fifth Street, a center turn lane for turning movements, and additional turn-lane work at the signal to reduce queuing.
Staff said the STP application had been revised from a prior application that had scored poorly because it requested too much. The current proposal would add sidewalks from Willow—s Court north to Old Highway 100 on the west side and sidewalks on the east side from the northern multifamily-entrance area to Old Highway 100; the plan also contemplates dual left-turn lanes eastbound onto Highway 100 and a dedicated right-turn lane westbound, subject to a separate application. Staff said such signal and turn-lane construction is likely slated for 2028.
The project is tied to an STP (Surface Transportation Program) cost-share arrangement (MoDOT 80/20 reference mentioned); staff said eligibility for that cost share influences sidewalk placement and design choices. Staff also said the project includes improving turning movements into multifamily developments and other local entrances.
Ending: Staff indicated the application is in process with East-West Gateway; if funded, sidewalks and turn-lane improvements would be constructed in later years, with signal work likely in 2028.
