I don't think there's any chance of the northern portion of 480 to be torn down until they build a new Missouri River bridge to connect the North Freeway to 680. Then they could route 480 up that way. I know there are plans for this new freeway section along 16th north of Epply. While I know there a...

Re: New Development = No Sidewalk
While there is no sidewalk on the north side of Center, there is one on the south side. It would be a expensive to put one in on the north side since they would have to widen the bridge. And with the relocation of the northbound 72nd St exit, there should be a crosswalk right into that area.
