The Jackson County Public Safety and Transportation Committee on March 10 voted 4-1 to forward an MDOT contract and funding agreement for a shared-use path to the full county board. The total project cost described in committee materials is $3.1 million; JCDOT's attributable share for a road-diet element was listed at $126,000.
Staff asked committee members to reference the map included in meeting materials to identify off-road path sections and the portions funded by Jackson County Parks and JCDOT. Committee discussion confirmed the committee asked the project sponsor to remove a road-diet element on Parnell Road; the portion that remains for JCDOT relates to Lansing Avenue.
