Shawnee council approves five road projects for County Assisted Road System funding
Summary
The Shawnee City Council on April 13 approved five city corridors for the County Assisted Road System (CARS) five-year project list, including two stretches of the Parkway and work on Woodland Drive and Midland Drive. The vote to approve the CARS list was reported by the city's communications director.
The Shawnee City Council approved five city projects to receive funding through the County Assisted Road System (CARS) program, the city's communications director said following the council's April 13 meeting.
Doug Donahue, the city's communications director, said the five-year list of CARS projects includes two segments of the Parkway (Pflumm to Quivira and Lackman to Pflumm), Shawnee Mission Parkway (Quivira to the east city limits), Woodland Drive (71st to 83rd Streets) and Midland Drive (Eldridge to Lackman). Donahue said the council approved the projects for the program; the meeting summary did not specify individual roll-call tallies for the CARS approvals.
The approvals place those corridors on the city's prioritized list for County Assisted Road System funding, a program the city uses to coordinate local road work with county-level assistance. City staff will proceed with the administrative steps required to submit the projects for CARS funding and to sequence the work within the city's capital plan.
The council's action was reported as part of the meeting wrap-up; Donahue suggested that more detailed project schedules and next steps will be available through staff reports and future council agendas. The council is scheduled to hold a budget retreat on April 25 and will reconvene in regular session April 27.
