  • CHAPTER III Affected Environment
    III-1 CHAPTER III Affected Environment This chapter describes the existing social, economic and environmental settings of the project area that may be affected by the reasonable strategies described in chapter II. The project area is 199 miles (320.3 km) long and approximately 10 miles (16.1 km) wide. Environmentally sensitive features discussed in this chapter, such as cemeteries, schools, rivers and wetlands are shown on Exhibit III-1 to Exhibit III-9. A. Social and Economic Characteristics 1. EXISTING LAND USE For the first tier environmental document, existing land use was divided into two categories: developed land and undeveloped land, which mainly consists of agricultural land. Developed land represents primarily the municipal limits of a community within the study corridor. Although areas within each city, town or village may be currently undeveloped, it is the implied intention of the community to develop within its boundaries. Although land development does occur outside of city limits, development characteristics are usually more dispersed outside municipal limits. The lack of densely located populations identifies greater opportunity for avoidance by an alternative with improvements outside of the existing I-70 right-of-way. Exhibit III-10 to Exhibit III-12 represents the developed areas within the study corridor. Within a community’s limits, general development patterns throughout the study area are such that commercial and industrial uses are primarily centered around nodes located at the I-70 interchanges and corridors associated with primary north/south routes. Residential development primarily occurs outside of these boundaries in clusters of development. Public spaces are dispersed throughout each community in a generally random manner.

  • LOCLG Regional Transportation Plan 2019 DRAFT
    2019 Lake of the Ozarks Regional Transportation Plan 1 Chapter 1 Introduction Study Organization The staff of Lake of the Ozarks Council of Local Governments (LOCLG) has produced this study with the advice and approval of the LOCLG Board of Directors and the LOCLG Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC). In 1969, an Executive Order of Missouri Governor Warren E. Hearnes led to the formation of the Lake of the Ozarks Council of Local Governments (LOCLG). Lake of the Ozarks Council of Local Governments serves a four-county region of Camden, Laclede, Miller, and Morgan Counties. In transportation- related matters, LOCLG has appointed the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC), a committee of members appointed by the commissioners of each county from around the region who have particular expertise and interest in local transportation issues. Appendix A lists the LOCLG Board of Directors and TAC members. Study Area As noted above, the Lake of the Ozarks region includes the counties of Camden, Laclede, Miller, and Morgan. The region is composed of 2,691 square miles and had a 2017 population of 125,387. Camden County is comprised of 709 square miles and has seven functioning municipalities1 (Camdenton, Climax Springs, Lake Ozark, Osage Beach, Sunrise Beach, and Village of Four Seasons). Camden County’s population in the 2010 Census was 44,002 and was 44,855 in the 2017 American Community Survey. The county had an assessed valuation in 2016 of $1,672,515,421. The county seat is Camdenton. Laclede County covers 768 square miles and has three functioning municipalities (Conway, Lebanon and Phillipsburg).

RAHN, DIRECTOR MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEBRUARY 2010 HISTORIC DOCUMENTATION BRIDGE K744 I. Introduction Location: Highway Bridge carrying Missouri State Route 5 over Katy Trail, New Franklin, Howard County, Missouri Construction Dates: 1939-1940 Present Owner: Missouri Department of Transportation, Jefferson City, Missouri Present Use: Highway Bridge to be removed and replaced by at grade crossing Significance: The New Franklin Viaduct (bridge K744) is significant as an example of an urban railroad grade separation funded through the 1936 Federal Aid to Highways bill, which made eliminating hazards to safety at railroad crossings a major focus of state transportation departments in 1938 and 1939. Historian: Karen L. Daniels, Historic Preservation Section, Design Division, Missouri Department of Transportation, February 2010. 2 II. History of Bridge K744 Howard County, Missouri was organized on January 13, 1816 and originally comprised all of northwest Missouri and portions of southern Iowa. It contained an area of nearly 22,000 square miles. The first county seat of the newly formed county was the community of Franklin, located on the Missouri River, across from the present day community of Boonville. Franklin, named after Benjamin Franklin, was formed in 1816, and became the county seat in 1817.1 The town grew rapidly because of its location on the Missouri River and because it was the western most settlement on the river.

  • Toll Facilities in the United States
    TOLL FACILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES Bridges - Roads - Tunnels - Ferries February 1997 Publication No: FHWA-PL-97-008 Dulles Greenway Fastoll: The Toll Road Corporation of Virginia’s nonstop, electronic toll collection system. Photo courtesy of the Virginia Department of Transportation. HISTORY The early settlers who came to America found a land of dense wilderness, interlaced with creeks, rivers, and streams. Within this wilderness was an extensive network of trails, many of which were created by the migration of the buffalo and used by the Native American Indians as hunting and trading routes. These primitive trails were at first crooked and narrow. Over time, the trails were widened, straightened and improved by settlers for use by horse and wagons. These became some of the first roads in the new land. After the American Revolution, the National Government began to realize the importance of westward expansion and trade in the development of the new Nation. As a result, an era of road building began. This period was marked by the development of turnpike companies, our earliest toll roads in the United States. In 1792, the first turnpike was chartered and became known as the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike in Pennsylvania. It was the first road in America covered with a layer of crushed stone. The boom in turnpike construction began, resulting in the incorporation of more than 50 turnpike companies in Connecticut, 67 in New York, and others in Massachusetts and around the country. A notable turnpike, the Boston-Newburyport Turnpike, was 32 miles long and cost approximately $12,500 per mile to construct.
