At the Oct. 20, 2025, Overland Park City Council meeting, residents from the neighborhood near 15410 Robinson Street urged the city to inspect and address safety hazards they say were created by a recent bridge repair and associated drainage and construction work.
Mike Roth (stated address 15410 Robinson Street) told the council that the project left a steep grade, loose rocks stacked near the creek and exposed utility conduit, creating what he called a dangerous situation where children in the neighborhood sometimes play. He said the bridge work finished about six weeks earlier and that tracks, dirt and construction debris remain on site. Roth said one person has already fallen and been injured and asked the city for someone to visit the site and meet with neighbors.
Roth asked for staff to come out and review photos he offered to provide; he said neighbors Brett and Rich accompanied him and that families use the nearby park and walk down drainage paths that lead to the affected area.
Mayor Kurt Skoog replied the residents would be contacted by staff or their council members to follow up.
No council action or vote was taken; the matter was raised in the open public comment period and will be handled through staff follow‑up, per the mayor 27s remarks.
