Prairie Village Calendar

As part of the Village Vision process and plan, the 75th Street Corridor was identified for future attention and possible enhancements. Chapter 6 of the Village Vision outlines the current conditions of the corridor and design concepts. Village Vision examines the corridor and possibilities at a broad conceptual view.

To pursue many of the goals of Village Vision, the 75th Street Corridor Steering Committee was established and includes residents, City Council members, Planning Commissioners, and city staff.

The City of Prairie Village appreciates all those individuals who provided input at the public workshops or through email correspondence. The June Workshop Series provided a great deal of valuable insight, information and ideas about the potential of this significant corridor. Some of the many ideas generated include: looking at new ways to make the 75th Street corridor more pedestrian friendly; making the corridor more public transit oriented; finding ways to connect 75th Street to existing Prairie Village shopping centers (Prairie Village, Corinth, and HyVee Shopping Centers); finding ways to make the corridor greener with additional street tree plantings and developing ways to make the 75th Street corridor express the identity and attributes we all value about the City of Prairie Village.

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER PUBLIC MEETINGS TO BE RESCHEDULED

As we move forward in developing a guide plan for future generations, it will be important that we take adequate time to explore all of the ideas, concepts, and expectations which were suggested during this initial stage of the study process. Before we move forward to the next stage of the study, the City believes that it is critical that we take a more detailed look at each of the ideas and concepts generated. Gaining a complete understanding of these issues will be very important in developing a guide plan which will enable us to keep this corridor vital through the next thirty years.

Because of the need for additional time to study all of the ideas, the City has decided to reschedule the meetings originally set for this September and October. The City is committed to developing a guide plan which enables this important corridor to be an asset to Prairie Village. As we establish a new timeline for the additional public meetings, we will keep you informed through the Village Voice, public notices and the City's web site. If you would like to provide additional comments about the 75th Street Corridor, you can email your comments to 75@pvkansas.com or call Dennis J. Enslinger, Assistant City Administrator at 913-385-4603.
