During the Warrensburg City Council meeting held on September 8, 2025, significant discussions centered around the city's ongoing street maintenance and improvement projects. The council addressed the need for additional work on local streets, particularly in light of increased traffic due to the main Maguire project.
City officials highlighted that College Street is experiencing high traffic levels, primarily from construction and detour activities. However, it was decided not to include College Street in the current maintenance program due to its ongoing construction status. The council anticipates that by the time the Rethink McGuire project is completed, the original 2025 street maintenance program will also be finalized.
The council proposed adding several streets to the maintenance program, which would be funded through the transportation fund balance previously discussed. The aim is to complete the 2026 street program early in the season, ideally before Memorial Day, to ensure visible progress on the city's infrastructure.
The council unanimously approved an ordinance authorizing the city manager and city clerk to execute a change order agreement with Advanced Asphalt Paving and Concrete LLC. This agreement will facilitate additional mill and overlay work as part of the 2025 street maintenance program.
In summary, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to improving road conditions and managing traffic effectively, with plans in place for timely execution of street maintenance projects. The council's decisions reflect a proactive approach to addressing community needs and enhancing local infrastructure.
