Summary of Public Input appendix A Summary of Public Input Approximately, 80-to-100 residents participated in the first round of Summary of MetroGreen public workshops. Three drop-in format meetings were held on the evenings of April 24, 25, and 26. The workshops were located at Public Workshops the Missouri Department of Transportation office in Lee’s Summit, St. Luke’s Northland Hospital off Barry Road, and the Sylvester Powell Community Center in Mission. Three more meetings were held in June on the 25th, 26th, and 27th. These workshops were held at the Gladstone Community Building in Central Park, the Brush Creek Community Center, and the Merriam Community Center. Approximately, 50-to-70 people attended these workshops. A final public meeting was held on October 24th in downtown Kansas City. Participants viewed a short video that explains the concept of greenways, the different forms greenways take, and the many functions that they perform. Also, available for public viewing were displays produced by area agencies, highlighting local and regional trails systems, proposed and existing. Visitors were encouraged to look at, write comments, and sketch ideas on regional and county maps that were produced especially for the workshops. Workshop attendees located areas that they felt needed bicycle and/or pedestrian connections. Digital photographs of the maps and comments are printed on the following pages. A comment form was also made available to participants. Results from these forms are displayed following the workshop maps. Comments from the workshops were incorporated into subsequent drafts of the MetroGreen Map that shows potential greenway locations. In addition, MARC staff, Greenways Incorporated, Patti Banks Associates, and local representatives attended the workshops to answer questions and solicit responses. Summary of Public Input A-1 Presentation of The following maps contain the notes and graphic illustrations received at the public meetings.

MoDOT representatives visited every county in the state to gather direction and insights from Missourians on major transportation issues and priorities. To-date, over 12,000 suggestions have been received, including big picture ideas and requests for localized projects. Reaching out to Missourians to determine their thoughts and priorities about the state’s transportation system is the right thing to do. As a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars, MoDOT needs to know what Missourians think of the current transportation system and what they expect in the future. That input has directly shaped the development of this long term transportation plan.

  • Historiosil Revie-W
    Historiosil Revie-w The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA, MISSOURI In 1863 George Caleb Bingham determined to paint on the subject of a military order issued by Union Brigadier General Thomas Ewing, who commanded the District of the Border in western Missouri. Ewing's General Orders No. 11, issued after the raid and massacre at Lawrence, Kansas, by Quantrill's Missouri guerrillas, was devised to rid the border of the bushwhackers and guerrillas and destroy their source of supply. The provisions of the order depopulated rural portions of Jackson, Cass, Bates and half of Vernon counties. The order, and the ruthless way it was enforced by Kansas Redleg soldiers, outraged Bingham who was an ardent supporter of the Union and an officer in the State Militia. He protested without success, and was then reported to have said to Ewing: "If you persist jn executing that order, I will make you infamous with pen and brush, as far as I am able." This second or final version of Bingham's "Order No. 11," also called "Martial Law," was exhibited by the artist to raise funds for the engraving of the subject by John Sartain. When the sale of the prints proved disappointing, Bingham gave the painting to fames S. Rollins, who had helped finance the engraving venture, as a settlement for his debt. The State Historical Society acquired Bingham's famous historical painting from the George Bingham Rollins family in 1945. The painting is included in the exhibition "Conflict: Men, Events and Artists." The exhibition is on display in the Society's gallery and corridor until late summer 1972 and can be viewed Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
