Many proposed MSP street routes were shown based on constructability when considering elevation contours, creek crossings, and other obstructions. The proposed route shows possible extensive vertical elevation changes compared to the existing route. Provide a plan showing the proposed locations with elevation contours to determine the constructability of the proposed route. The proposed alignment with Worthen Drive creates for a more continual and linear north-south connector with Kirk Rd, Rahling Road, and Chenal Parkway. With the approval of this proposed MSP change, Kirk Road and Worthen Drive will function as minor arterial streets with their connection with minor arterial streets and a parkway. Consideration should be given for the MSP to be further revised to show Kirk Road and Worthen Drive as minor arterial streets. Kirk Road is currently constructed to a minor arterial street standard north of the Rock Creek bridge. The remaining portion of Kirk Road, Worthen Drive and the round-a-bout are not constructed to minor arterial standards. Z-5405-CBaptist Preparatory School, Rev.
