to open the roadway with a few members of the project team present. Now open to the public, Ridgeview Road opens up new areas for economic development. Several adjacent projects are already working through the City’s planning process. As development in the area increases, a future extension of Ridgeview Road could take place from Prairie Star Parkway north to 87th Street Parkway. It is projected that 32,000 vehicles per day will use this section of roadway by 2035.
STREET PROJECTS ON THE MOVE
You’ve likely noticed other major infrastructure projects on and along Lenexa streets over the last few months. Here’s what’s happening.
Pavement Management Program Mill and overlay work on Renner Boulevard and College Boulevard was accelerated to take place during the stayat-home order, when there would be fewer traffic impacts. Pavement work planned for residential areas is still on schedule and will be completed this summer. See page 10 for more pavement management updates.
Santa Fe Trail Drive improvements Improvements at 95th Street and Santa Fe Trail Drive are expected to continue into fall. The project includes a new traffic signal, a monument sign, several new turn lanes, accessible pedestrian modifications, a trail extension, mill and overlay, improved storm drainage and street lighting.
Streetlight replacements A pair of streetlight replacement projects will bring brighter, energy-efficient LED fixtures to Old Town and the area around Rosehill Road and 103rd Street. Work is expected to be complete later this summer.
Bridge maintenance Two bridges on Prairie Star Parkway over Coon Creek and Mill Creek are being painted this summer.
Lackman/95th Street Trail A new trail will fill in key missing segments of Lenexa’s trail system along 95th Street and between 95th Street and 87th Street Parkway along Lackman Road. The project includes a pedestrian crossing between Bois D’Arc Park and Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park.
