Discussion on the West Platte Jerry Johnson of SKW presented alternatives for the West Platte Bridge
Bridge roadway. At the Boazd Meeting, January 24, 2006, the Board requested
Shafer, Kline & Warren, Inc. (SKW) review the alignments based on
impacts to property acquisition, spacing of driveways and road
intersections, truck turning movements and stacking distances, and
general traffic flow for the azea.
Jerry presented the existing condition upon the completion of the
Gateway Improvements at the West Platte Intersection notigg that there
is a 94 ft. offset of West Platte with Riverside Avenue on the east side
of Gateway. The drives along the east side of Gateway range from 66
ft. to 119 ft. on center. The drives on the west side of Gateway range
from 68 ft. to 130 ft. on center north of Riverside Avenue. On West
Platte, the first driveway for the landscape company is 61 ft: from
Gateway with the drives from that location ranging from 83'ft. to 136
ft. on center.
Jerry then discussed the previously presented option from the January
24, 2006 Board meeting. This option shows the alignment of the West
Platte/Cliffiriew Drive extension to align across from Riverside
Avenue, which SKW feels is important for the function of this
intersection in the future. Jerry noted that with this alignment, none of
the drives on the east side of Gateway are impacted; they will remain as
they are with the Gateway Improvement Project. Jerry indicated that
on the west side of Gateway with this aligmnent, the first drive from
the intersection becomes 104 ft., which is still within the driveway
dimensions along the east side. Jerry also noted that the stalking
distance has improved to I50 ft. to the first driveway from the
landscape company versus the 61 ft. per existing.
Jerry then presented Proposed Plan No. 2, which offers a different view
of the traffic flow. In this view, existing West Platte becomes the
primary traffic movement with a stop condition for the Cliffview Drive
extension over Line Creek. This provides a more duect alignment on
West Platte and provides a curved alignment to a stopped condition on
the Cliffview Drive extension. West Platte is still aligned across from
Riverside Avenue; again none of the driveway spacings aze affected on
the east side of Gateway or the West side of Gateway. The stacking
distance remains the same to the second landscape driveway at 150 ft.
from Gateway; however, the one-way drive lane for through traffic on
West Platte to the intersection at Gateway has been removed. Jerry
indicated that this is still conceptual in nature and SKW will have to
look at horizontal curvature at the intersection of West Platt and
Cliffview Drive extension. Jerry pointed out less land acquisition
requirements at the residential property on Gateway and no appazent
reduction of proposed driveway separations from the previaus plan.
Jerry closed the presentation by indicating there is a choice as to what
the Board feels is the proper traffic movement for this area of town.
They can either keep the Cliffview Drive extension as the main traffic
movement through this area, with a stop condition for West Platte, as
shown in proposed Plan No. 1 or the West Platte traffic flow being the
main movement, with Cliffview Drive extension the stopped
movement, as indicated on proposed Plan No. 2.
Alderman Looker asked about traffic counts in the last 9 months on
West Platte Road. Mike Duffy, SKW, said he looked at the Industrial
Pazk traflc and only 1 or 2 trucks at a time use the road; there is no
congestion. Alderman Super asked how the roadway at the intersection
of West Platte and Gateway was designed. Johnson replied, "With 3
lanes." Alderman Dazata said the new design will handle lagge trucks.
Alderman Legaazd it looks like the curve coming down onto~the
east/west part of the street needs to be widened. Mayor Pro Tem said
that overall the new design is cleaner and acquisition will be less. He
thanked City Administrator David Blackburn for being on top of the
situation and suggesting the design change to SKW.
Miles reminded BOA of the West Platte Bridge Public Hearing from
4:00-7:00 p.m on February 23 in the Community Center. Right-of-
way work will continue in the meantime.
Other Comments Alderman Beard asked if anyone attending had further comments.
Chief Mills told BOA of the first of what will be regularly scheduled
• .~
quarterly meetings with apartment owners and supervisors in the city.
Alderman Looker attended the meeting and said, "They did a fabulous
job."
Fahey Construction, contractors for the West Gate Road improvement
project will open their asphalt plant around March 1.
