He said this is a good plan to present to the state. There is over nine million square feet of area for development. Approximately 950,000 sq. ft. is planned for retail.

Mins. 1/7/03 - Jim Weitzel asked about the Standard Diamond Interchange and the Single Point as to the difference in construction. Frank said the Single Point could cost about two million dollars more because the bridges need to be extended in length and to handle more traffic. Traffic projections would have to be investigated. Alderman Looker asked how many lanes would be included with a Diamond Interchange. The preliminary numbers from Kessinger/Hunter are two through lanes and two turning lanes with a total of eight or nine lanes underneath I-635 and new, longer bridges would be required. She asked about the traffic flow, if this would extend the time. It was stated it would not extend the length of the project. She also asked if a number of teams could be involved in the project at the same time. Frank said, "yes" four teams. Toni asked if they had a project on the I-635 Kansas side, Frank said, "No". Frank stated a lot of different groups aze involved, i.e, KDot, MoDot, RR and the Feds. He said Transystems has friendships and contacts with people that will help the city with funding. He gave a breakdown of the final phases: • $750,000, Route 9 & Vandepopulier (including signal and dual left turn lanes). • $3,000,000, 41ane roadway bridge over BNSF RR (All costs for approaches and bridge over 3 tracks with 25' horizontal cleazance to piers). • $1,650,000 Vandepopulier improvements (Assumes 41ane facility with a uniform median width from the BNSF RR bridge "touch down" to the interchange). • $8,000,000 Diamond Interchange on I-635 with existing Vandepopulier location Assume a standazd MoDOT diamond with signals at the 2 intersections and 2 new bridges over Vandepopulier). • Total for base projects= $13,400,000 Add Altemates: • $10,000,000 Single Point Diamond Lnterchange • $2,250,000 Argosy Access Road- 41ane roadway from the I-635 interchange to the east to connect to the existing roadway to improve access to Argosy, 4,500 lineaz feet. • Total with Add Alternates= $17,650,000 (minus diamond interchange) For the £ust phase, Frank is requesting official selection of TranSystems be made to acquire approval already granted, mapping conceptual plans and environmental investigations/clearances. For the second phase, to take all the designs to bid and last, whatever else is needed. Frank explained Argosy's access and the problem of the railroad crossing.
