WSP USA was selected to provide the professional services for Truman Connected Phase 1. This project includes the implementation of multi-modal improvements to major streets. The project is the first phase of Truman Connected plan, from the Planning Sustainable Places (PSP) study (2015). The project starts at 24 Highway and Bess Truman Parkway and ends at Winner Road and Sterling Ave. Surface Transportation Projects (STP) and Transportation Alternative (TA) projects grant funding will be available for the future construction phase of the project.
Design services are split into two phases: Right-of-Way Design and Final Design Services. This action would approve an Engineering Services Contract for Right-of-Way Design phase.
