Council approved the five-year plan for the Johnson County CARS program, which lists five projects over the next five years and includes the 2026 Midland Drive rehabilitation between Shawnee Mission Parkway and Interstate 435. The council voted 7-0 to approve the plan to present to the county.

The council also approved an agreement with Johnson County under the CARS program to reimburse construction and inspection costs up to $1,800,000 for the mill-and-overlay of Shawnee Mission Parkway between I-435 and K-7; that agreement passed on a 7-0 vote. Separately, the council awarded the 2025 city mill-and-overlay contract to McEnany Construction to resurface 16.4 lane miles across the city; the award passed 7-0.

Council members discussed the potential to install a traffic signal at the Shawnee Mission Parkway and Vista Drive intersection as part of the mill-and-overlay work this summer; after conversation, a majority of council members voiced support for pursuing a signal, but the transcript does not show a formal vote on the light.

The council also approved an agreement for engineering services to identify and acquire construction easements needed for the Midland Drive rehabilitation, acknowledging the project's size and complexity; that agreement passed 7-0. The council authorized staff to bid on the Star Bay expansion at the Justice Center to build a new home for the police department's mobile command unit; that authorization passed 7-0.

Community Development Director Doug Allman presented the request, saying the preliminary plan would create 62 single-family lots. Six nearby residents spoke during the hearing, raising concerns about future improvements to Clear Creek Road, additional traffic effects on Clear Creek and Gleason roads, and the need for sidewalks in adjacent neighborhoods. The council discussed those concerns before voting.

The council approved the rezoning on a 7-0 vote. The meeting record did not identify a motion maker or seconder in the summary presented to the council minutes and did not list an ordinance number or other identifying file number for the rezoning request.

The approval clears the preliminary land-use change; the transcript did not specify subsequent steps such as final plat approvals, required infrastructure commitments, or timetable for construction.","The City of Shawnee City Council voted 7-0 to rezone 42 acres near Clear Creek to allow a 62-lot single-family subdivision called the Village at Clear Creek after hearing from six nearby residents.","actionData","errors"]
