The purpose of this study is to provide a more detailed assessment of potential strategies that would improve transit services within these two corridors. This study was a collaborative effort by Johnson County Transit (JCT), the City of Mission, Kansas, and the City of Overland Park, Kansas. The study was completed with the assistance of the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC). Significant changes are anticipated for the land use and density of the Metcalf Avenue and Shawnee Mission Parkway corridors. Vision Metcalf, the West Gateway Vision Plan, and the East Gateway Redevelopment Plan seek to revitalize the corridor and show a conversion to a more dense development character. The higher density development will provide an opportunity for transit to serve a larger portion of mobility needs in these corridors. In addition, transit service along Metcalf Avenue and Shawnee Mission Parkway is seen as becoming the spine of an enhanced transit network for Johnson County. The study begins with a review of different transit options including improved local and express bus service, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT), street car, development of new transit centers, and improvement of existing park-and-ride lots.
