Barry Road Culvert To Open End of August!

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
June 1

Mayor Bos during his comments mentioned the projected completion of the road connecting to Amity. When questioned on details, there weren't many...contact with KCMO is scant. Public Works Director pointed out they used to get a monthly report from KCMO, that ceased a couple of months ago. I imagine most of the information discussed was readily available in the KC Star recently (as pointed out here). The lack of meaningful dialog makes the Star the best source.

Mr and Mrs Vlamis (8315 Hillside) made an appearance to ask the projected completion date for the Hillside intersection...there was no information available from either the Mayor or George. That intersection will be one of the more interesting "fixes" as the project moves forward.

Platte County has been more communicative about the progress of the piece of Barry west of Potomac..."they don't know". Right of ways have not been secured completely, utilities, ATT specifically, have not finished relocating. The original idea was to start the project as soon as school finished (Hawthorne) so as to minimize disruption of school traffic. There is the possibility of delaying the start of the project until May 2011 to accommodate the school issue. Oops.

40,000 and counting: Yesterday marked 40,000 hits on the blog. Subtracting the 37,000 hits by my family, well ok me, that leaves a meaningful 3,000 hits from interested parties...which means you, of course. Friend or not so much you click...and I am amazed.

Mike-Will the road to the culvert be open in August? Is the August you are referring to 2010 or 2011?
