	==236.19 Dedication of Thoroughfares==		==236.19 Dedication of Thoroughfares==
			===236.19.1 Purpose===
			The purpose of this guidance is to establish statewide consistency in evaluating and processing requests for the dedication of right of way (ROW) to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (Commission).

			Dedications typically arise from local governments or private developers and historically have not been routinely accepted by MoDOT. Recent operational, legal, Americans with Disabilities Act and risk management issues demonstrate the need for clear procedures.

			===236.19.2 Policy===

			: '''A. Definition & Applicability'''
			: A dedication is a voluntary transfer of private property to a public entity, typically used for streets, sidewalks, drainage, utilities, parks, and other infrastructure supporting development. State agencies are normally exempt from municipal zoning, building codes, and dedications, but districts may consider accepting ROW dedications when a transportation need exists and the dedication benefits the state system.
			: '''B. Conditions for Acceptance'''
			:MoDOT may accept dedicated right of way only when all the following requirements are met:
			::'''1. Fee Simple Ownership'''
			::The land must be conveyed in fee simple, free of:
			::* environmental concerns
			::* easements or encumbrances that impair MoDOT use or ownership
			:: '''2. Demonstrated Need'''
			:: MoDOT must determine that the development creates a need for public infrastructure improvements on the state system (e.g., roadway width, sidewalk continuity, drainage functionality, access management).
			:: '''3. Proportionality and Legal Justification'''
			:: The dedication must be reasonably attributable to the development.
			:: Dedications not meeting proportionality may be considered unconstitutional exactions.
			: '''C. Risk Management'''
			:MoDOT shall evaluate potential exposure before accepting any dedication, particularly where sidewalks, drainage ditches, or other facilities transfer liability to the Commission. Examples include unknown sidewalk dedications later associated with ADA ownership reviews or injury claims.
			:These groups ensure legal sufficiency, alignment with statewide policy, and the proper entry of assets into the asset management system.

236.19.1 Purpose
The purpose of this guidance is to establish statewide consistency in evaluating and processing requests for the dedication of right of way (ROW) to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (Commission).
Dedications typically arise from local governments or private developers and historically have not been routinely accepted by MoDOT. Recent operational, legal, Americans with Disabilities Act and risk management issues demonstrate the need for clear procedures.
236.19.2 Policy
A. Definition & Applicability
A dedication is a voluntary transfer of private property to a public entity, typically used for streets, sidewalks, drainage, utilities, parks, and other infrastructure supporting development. State agencies are normally exempt from municipal zoning, building codes, and dedications, but districts may consider accepting ROW dedications when a transportation need exists and the dedication benefits the state system.
B. Conditions for Acceptance
MoDOT may accept dedicated right of way only when all the following requirements are met:
1. Fee Simple Ownership
The land must be conveyed in fee simple, free of:
• environmental concerns

MoDOT must determine that the development creates a need for public infrastructure improvements on the state system (e.g., roadway width, sidewalk continuity, drainage functionality, access management).
3. Proportionality and Legal Justification
The dedication must be reasonably attributable to the development.
Dedications not meeting proportionality may be considered unconstitutional exactions.
C. Risk Management
MoDOT shall evaluate potential exposure before accepting any dedication, particularly where sidewalks, drainage ditches, or other facilities transfer liability to the Commission. Examples include unknown sidewalk dedications later associated with ADA ownership reviews or injury claims.
These groups ensure legal sufficiency, alignment with statewide policy, and the proper entry of assets into the asset management system.
