The City of North Kansas City has a great plan to remake Burlington Road into a thriving, sustainable Complete Street and a more inviting front door for the community. A centerpiece of the project is a two-way cycle track that would give people on bikes a dedicated safe place and connect several important destinations. When completed, the improvements to Burlington will represent the highest comfort and quality bicycle facilities in the region.
The project is up for an important vote Tuesday evening, where the City Council will consider funding for the preliminary engineering for the entire corridor and final construction documents for the first phase of improvements. Your voice is needed to help show that there is strong public for this ambitious vision. The City Council takes public comment at the beginning of the meeting.
