When the MPO in St. Louis wanted more flexibility in the design of arterial roadways, the Missouri DOT expressed concerns for the responsibility of maintenance, safety, and liability.
Sound familiar?
At this peer exchange for MPOs and state DOTs, you’ll hear the story of an ongoing collaboration between East-West Gateway and MoDOT to work through the areas of disconnect over the design of arterials in the St. Louis region. This event will feature breakout rooms where staff from MPOs and state DOTs can discuss among themselves the challenges of designing urban arterials that meet the relevant engineering standards and also meet the needs of all roadway users. Participants will gain an understanding of how their peers are dealing with the issues that arise between MPOs and DOTs, and how they are working together.
