WHEREAS, Vision Zero was passed for the purpose of increasing safety and having a parking and driving lane simultaneously is dangerous and has the potential to be fatal for road users; and

WHEREAS, the vision for the Truman Road Complete Streets Plan was for a safe, accessible, comfortable, and welcoming Complete Streets corridor which would serve all modes of transportation, and serve as a catalyst for economic and community development; and

WHEREAS, during the Complete Streets planning process, constituents along Truman Road provided clear feedback of the importance of preserving parking; and

WHEREAS, the City recognizes the need for immediate safe parking options and bicycling connectivity; and

WHEREAS, many of the businesses experiencing economic loss are located on the north side of Truman Road and safe parking on the north side can also serve businesses on Truman Road; and

WHEREAS, businesses along Truman Road have reported lost revenue due to removed parking and access as well as decreased access for those living with disabilities due to the way the bike lanes on Truman Road have been designed and implemented; and

WHEREAS, the City has a responsibility and desires to support business viability, especially in blighted communities; NOW, THEREFORE,

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY:
