Prospect Avenue Safety Upgrade | Kansas City News

Description

Kansas City is gearing up to transform a dangerous two-mile stretch of Prospect Avenue into a safer, more vibrant corridor—with community input driving every step. Designated a “High-Injury Network,” the area between Linwood Blvd and Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd sees crashes nearly double the city average. At a recent public meeting, officials unveiled potential upgrades like extended curbs and a transit-only lane, while residents—including pastors and longtime locals—shared ideas for safety, business growth, and neighborhood revitalization. The next phase involves finalizing plans with more community feedback, aiming to break ground in mid-2027. Residents can still weigh in via SpeakEasy KCMO. This isn’t just about fixing roads—it’s about building a better Prospect Avenue for everyone.
