Multi-Purpose Room, Prairie Village City Hall (7700 Mission Road)
Come and go style open house open to all members of the community

Please mark your calendars and make a point to atend an important open house/public meeting regarding city-wide bicycle and pedestrian accommodations in Prairie Village.

The Prairie Village City Council, through a Mid-America Regional Council funding program, hired TranSystems to develop a comprehensive bike and pedestrian plan for the city. Their planners have worked with city staff, community stakeholders, and the public to develop a plan. This final public meeting will focus on sharing the draft of the final plan with the citizens of Prairie Village and registering their comments. The comments from this meeting will help the planners to fine tune the study and present a final draft to the City Council.

Highlights of the plan include proposed sidewalks, trails, and bicycle facilities. Sidewalks are proposed for a few key roads to improve accessibility for pedestrians and mobility aid users. A side-path trail is proposed to traverse the city from 63rd Street to 95th Street, providing connection points for regional trails such as the Rock Creek Trail and the Indian Creek Trail. Proposed on-street bicycle facilities include a primary network of low-stress shared roads with separated bicycle lanes on Nall Avenue.

A second advisory committee meeting will take place in the next couple of weeks and after that a Resident Public Meeting will be scheduled around the first of the year.
