Event Description:
The Quarterly Meeting will be held at the Raytown Historical Society Museum. Please join us for a presentation about the Rock Island Rail Corridor Authority by Josh Boehm.
The Rock Island Rail Corridor Authority (RIRCA) was established to manage and maintain the Rock Island Corridor, which Jackson County acquired in the spring of 2016.
The 17.7-mile corridor stretches from Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadiums south through Raytown and into Lee's Summit. Transforming a portion of the Rock Island Corridor into a shared use path is in process. Corridor planning and design will focus on preservation of the national rail network corridor’s integrity, most notably the railroad corridor’s unencumbered continuity, and on multi-modal transportation options as the corridor remains available for freight service.
The public is invited and welcome! Reservations must be received by Jan. 13.
