The Shawnee City Council on March 9 authorized staff to advertise and bid the McEnany Drive street-improvement project from Lucille Road to Neiman and approved multiple public works projects, the city reported.
Doug Donahue, the city communications director, said the council approved construction and engineering services for stormwater pipe repairs at Monticello East and for repairs located under the Mill Valley High School football field. The council also approved land easement acquisition for the 51st Street improvement project and engineering services to design and acquire easements for the Canaan Street SIP between 55th Street and Johnson Drive, planned for 2027. Donahue reported these items passed by 7–0 votes; mover/second and contract amounts were not provided in the transcript.
Donahue said Public Works Director Kevin Manning told the council staff is preparing a grant application to the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) for an upcoming deadline; Manning’s update mentioned three major roads and transportation-alternative planning across the city but did not name specific road segments or funding amounts.
The approvals allow staff to move forward with procurement and right-of-way work; Donahue did not specify contract timelines or budget totals in the meeting summary. The city posts agendas and archived minutes at cityofshawnee.org.
