South Carolina Statewide Rail Plan Update SOUTH CAROLINA STATEWIDE RAIL PLAN UPDATE 2020 U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 November 19, 2020 Mr. Doug Frate Intermodal and Freight Programs South Carolina Department of Transportation 955 Park Street Columbia, SC 29202 Dear Mr. Frate, The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has completed its review of the 2020 South Carolina State Rail Plan (also referred to as the State Rail Plan or SRP). FRA’s review of the SRP found that it contained the required elements in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 22705 and FRA’s 2013 State Rail Plan Guidance. This letter serves as notice that FRA formally accepts the SRP. While FRA finds that the SRP meets the minimum requirements, FRA recommends addressing the following points in future updates of the SRP: • Consider reorganizing section 3.2.1 Current Southeastern Rail Activity to clarify the history of the rail governance bodies in the Southeast and how they work together. Pages 81-83 presents the relevant information, but the chronology of the governance bodies and their individual roles within the Southeast are unclear. • In section 3.4 on page 87 consider clarifying that SCDOT participated in the Southeast Regional Rail Plan and acted as a lead stakeholder. Also, clarify the purpose of the study as the establishment of a long-term vision for the implementation and management of passenger rail in the Southeast. Consider discussing the role of the SE Plan in the development of SCDOT’s SRP and in the work underway through the Southeast Corridor Commission. • In Chapter 5, considering identifying the Atlanta- Charlotte Tier II environmental study as part of South Carolina’s Rail Service and Investment Program. Section 11315(a)(1) of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (P.L. 114-94, December 4, 2015) revised the requirement for State-approved plans to be resubmitted to FRA no less frequently than once every 4 years (previously 5 years). As such, FRA looks forward to working with you on the next iteration of the South Carolina State Rail Plan due in November 2024. FRA looks forward to a continued partnership with the State of South Carolina to build and maintain a safe, reliable, and efficient U.S. rail network. Sincerely, Frances S.

    KCMO Boulevard and Parkway System The “Three Legs” Sustaining the KCMO Boulevard and Parkway System KCMO Boulevard and Parkway System History Geometry Land Use Questions What was the purpose of the parks and boulevard system in Kansas City, Missouri? History What are the defining characteristics of a boulevard and a parkway? Geometry What makes them different from an ordinary street or each other? Land Use Perspective History, geometry, and land use are the three things that set our Boulevards & Parkways apart from being “any other street”. The changes requested to the zoning code are a necessary and vital part to the preservation of Kansas City’s Neighborhoods and the Boulevard & Parkway system! History The answers can be found in: a) the 1893 Report of the Board of Park Commissioners; “The Kansas City Park System and Its Effect on the City Plan” by George E. Kessler; b) various Annual Reports to the Board of Commissioners; c) the 1920 booklet “Souvenir” The Park and Boulevard System of Kansas City, Missouri; d) the historic surveys that were completed in 1989 and 1991 and e) the Boulevard and Parkway Standards adopted by Board of Park Commissioners August 28, 2010 History In 1917 Kessler stated: “The boulevards and parkways of Kansas City have accomplished the real purpose outlined by Mr. Meyer in the first report 1893, namely, the tying together all sections and the uniting of Kansas City as a whole into a community whose purposes and actions are for the benefit of the city as a whole at all times.” History Purpose of the Historic Parks, Boulevard & Parkway System Make communication between the different sections of the city, commercial, residential and to some extent industrial direct and distinctive.
