You may have received the recent update from Platte County regarding Barry Road...no changes to the predicted completion time of March 2012.
Last BOA, I made a comment and suggestions regarding Hillside Drive. As you WestSiders know, the closure of both Westside Drive and Potomac Ave have made Hillside the primary exit/entrance. You also know the trip can be challenging based on fellow drivers performance. I requested the City consider at least striping some of Hillside, especially from the base of the hill to and beyond the crest to help drivers stay in their lane. Have you experienced the same thing I have, cars coming at you in the middle of the road? I also asked them to consider no parking zones, at least temporarily, as vehicles in that problem area just make it worse. Finally I pointed out the precipice (ok, dropoff) just as you turn off Barry on to Hillside on your right. Winter snow/ice is likely to see a vehicle or two go over the side. George said he will be putting a curb in...we shall see.

The hill and the hair-pin curve are white knuckle zones for me! I often look to see if there's WL stickers on the center-laners.....more often than not, the answer is yes! Everyone slow down and pay attention, we're your neighbors.
Forgot to mention, school buses do present a challenge, we need to make it safe for them.
Why is Weatherby Lake having to pay for the curbs, why didn't Jerry/George make Kansas City install with the project?
