FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 17, 2011

Final phase of North Amity Avenue project begins Monday
The City of Kansas City, Mo., is advising motorists that the next series of road closures beginning
Monday, June 20 will mark the final phase of major construction activity on North Amity Avenue.
Starting Monday morning, North Amity Avenue will close fully between Northwest 86th Terrace and
Highway 152, including a full closure of the intersection of Northwest 87th Terrace and North Amity
Avenue. This closure will allow the City's contractor to open North Amity Avenue to traffic by midAugust.  Flashing motorist alert signs will be used to provide advance warning of these closures.
"We recognize the inconvenience this poses to area drivers," said Capital Projects Department Director
Pat Klein. "These closures will allow our crews to move faster and more efficiently, providing residents
and motorists with the modern, safe roadway that they should expect from the City of Kansas City, Mo."
The North Amity Avenue improvements will replace the current roadway with a four lane improved road
with four foot bicycle lanes, curbs and sidewalks between Northwest Barry Road and Missouri Highway
152. In addition, culverts will be replaced at Northwest 86th Terrace and Northwest 87th Terrace.
The Capital Projects Department managed the design and construction of this project for the City's
Public Works Department. Construction on this phase of the project is scheduled for completion in midAugust.

whoever thought up how to do these road closures should be fired. god forbid there is an emergency in the development off amity and 152, no way for emergency vehicles to get there unless you go all the way down to congress and come around. and no access to 152...are you kidding me...not to mention I’m in total agreement with the other comment of not believing a word they say on the roads opening back up….
