Public input sought for Gans Road study	
							
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - Input is being sought from surrounding
landowners and the public regarding a preferred road alignment for the
Gans Road study. A public meeting has been scheduled for Monday, April
28, from 6-8 p.m. in the gymnasium at Rock Bridge Elementary School,
5151 S. Highway 163.
	An extension of Gans Road between Providence Road and Bearfield
Road in southern Columbia is being studied by officials from Boone
County in cooperation with officials from the city of Columbia. Gans
Road is identified to extend from Providence Road to Bearfield Road in
the Columbia Area Transportation Study Organization (CATSO) 2025
Transportation Plan. The study’s objectives include identifying the
project’s constraints and determining the best alignment for the
roadway. Some of the constraints include the crossing of Clear Creek,
steep topography, existing development, environmental or cultural
resources and accommodating existing and future traffic.  
	The public meeting is being scheduled to collect information
from interested parties to combine with the data the study team has
already collected along the corridor.  Project exhibits identifying the
known project constraints will be on display at the meeting, and the
study team will be present to review information and accept comments
from meeting attendees.
