Overland Park Walks New Development Path | Kansas City News

Description

Overland Park is revamping its 40-year-old development rules to make the city more walkable, with a bold new plan called the Unified Development Ordinance that encourages mixed-use neighborhoods and pedestrian-friendly design. Fueled by growing population and recent e-scooter safety concerns, the city is also investing in sidewalk repairs—adding two full-time staff positions this year—to fix crumbling paths while building new ones. Beyond walkability, the overhaul aims to boost housing diversity and streamline zoning, setting the stage for a more connected, modern, and livable Overland Park.
