The Kansas City Streetcar Authority (KCSA) selected a consortium led by HDR to conduct a Southern tram extension study to assess multi-modal transport needs. The consortium consists of members from Burns & McDonnell, HNTB, Trekk Design Group, Hg Consult, Parson + Associates, VSM Engineering and Architectural & Historical Research.
The South extension tram study will focus on data collection, refining alignment details, station stop locations and terminus configuration, plan for coordinated regional transit service integration and improvement, updated cost estimates and initiation of federal funding process.
The primary study area extends from downtown Kansas City and Union Station, south to University of Missouri in the vicinity of 51st and Brookside Boulevard. The study area is generally bounded on the west by Broadway Boulevard and on the east by Gillham Road.
The KC Streetcar Authority, in partnership with Port KC and the KCATA, is already studying a tram and multi-modal extension to Berkley Riverfront Park.
