Council narrows 50 First Street design to second option after resident input
Summary
City staff presented three design options for the 50 First Street Street Improvement Program; four nearby residents spoke and the council expressed a preference for the second option with potential modifications.
Sept. 22, 2025 — City staff presented three options for the 50 First Street Street Improvement Program at the Shawnee City Council meeting, and residents who live near the project provided public input on the designs.
Why it matters: The project is intended to add features and amenities along 50 First Street. Community preferences will inform final design choices and budget planning.
Details: Staff laid out three options with varying features and total costs for each. Four residents who live near the project addressed the council during the public comment portion to share thoughts on the design options. After hearing residents’ input and discussing the alternatives, the council highlighted the second option—with potential modifications—as the option they were most in favor of as the project moves forward.
Next steps: Staff will return to a future meeting with refined cost estimates and proposed modifications to the second option. The meeting summary did not provide specific dollar amounts or a schedule for construction.
Ending: The council will consider staff’s follow-up information at a subsequent meeting before final design or funding decisions are made.
