Welcome to Wednesday, Shawnee Mission!
☀️ Today’s forecast: Sunny and clear. High: 42. Low: 27.
One thing to know
The city of Mission will host two public open houses Wednesday that will offer more details about the city’s ongoing bicycle, pedestrian and trail connection study.
The focus of the study is to develop a connected network of on- and off-street bicycle and micro-mobility facilities. It also addresses pedestrian-specific concerns such as safety at major street crossings, access to certain destinations and sidewalk and path continuity.
The study will result in a plan for a proposed design and appropriate infrastructure in major corridors around the city.
There will be two community-wide public open houses on Wednesday at the Powell Community Center in Conference Room E.
The first will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the second from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The public is encouraged to look at the initial network design concepts and share their thoughts and ideas before coming.
