The project was approved by voters as part of the November 2010 "No Tax Increase" bond election. The funding was scheduled to replace approximately 400,000 feet of curbs throughout the City.
City staff has identified approximately 2,000,000 feet of deteriorating curb and gutter throughout the community that needs to be replaced. The annual funding available for curb replacement on roads included in the overlay program is not adequate to address this backlog. The funding approved by voters is anticipated to address about 20% of the needed replacement and will focus on the worst areas.
Three construction phases in 2011 and 2012 replaced 415,000 linear feet of curb. That exceeded the 400,000 feet estimated in the bond issue. The curb replacement work was completed in time to meet the schedule originally proposed for the bond issue work. The City was able to replace more curb because of relatively low bid prices received for all three phases of work. Money is still left in the budget to replace additional curb that warrants replacement. City Staff is currently working to issue construction bids for an additional construction work to start in summer 2013. This work is estimated to replace an additional 80,000 to 100,000 linear feet of curb based on prices. The total curb replaced by the bond issue funding will be approximately 500,000 feet of curb. This which is 25% over the bond issue goal. More information on the rating system used to prioritize the work and locations currently included in the program is available on the City's website at the link shown below.

Extension of Blackwell Road across 50 Highway, having a diamond interchange. Construction of Blue Parkway to Blackwell Road and Oldham Parkway to Smart Road, with an intersection at Blackwell Road. This project will be fully funded by the East 50 HWY TIF and managed by the City of Lee's Summit. MoDOT, City of Lake Lottawanna and Jackson County are supporting agencies with property interests and/or ownership.
Traffic conditions at the interchange of Todd George Parkway and 50 Highway will not accomodate the immediate and projected growth of surrounding development. Improvements to Todd George Parkway interchange are planned, but cannot mitigate the traffic congestion without alternate access to 50 Highway in eastern Lee's Summit. Blackwell interchange has been planned for over 40 years. Blackwell interchange will relieve some of the congestion at Todd George Parkway and surrounding streets, provide better access to eastern Lee's Summit, minimize the impact of travel during construction at Todd George Interchange, encourage economic development in the newly annexed property and meet the City's long range traffic demand.
Design is approximately 98% complete. The interchange has been designed with roundabout traffic control where the ramps intersect with Blackwell Road and at the intersection of Blackwell Road and Blue Parkway/Shenandoah Drive. All permits and enviornmental clearances have been approved. Acquisition of right-of-way, utility relocation and construction will be deferred until TIF funds are available to cover associated project costs. Such funding is contingent on development activity within the TIF Area. TIF Funding may be supplemented by State Cost Share Program. The State has awarded Cost Share Funding at 50%, pending City Council agreement.

In accordance with the City Council adopted Airport Business Plan, this project includes the earthwork for the 100 foot wide extension of the existing Runway 18-36 from 4,014 feet to 5,300 feet and for the extension of the west parallel taxiway.
Extension of the runway will allow operations of a greater variety of business class aircraft under a greater range of weather conditions. This project will serve to improve the airport and allow more corporate jets to use the facility. These improvements should increase the economic value of the airport to the city. In addition the existing west parallel taxiway is located at 225 feet from Runway 18-36, which is less than the standard separation for a Class C airport. The taxiway is to be relocated to 400 feet from Runway 18-36, which meets the Class C standard.
Crawford, Murphy and Tilly (CMT) began the design in May, 2011. Application for environmental permits have been submitted. The design is approximately 80% copmplete and construction can begin in fall 2013 if land acquisition is complete and the FAA Grants are in place to fund the project.

The Tudor Road Improvements project will complete the connection between NW Road Ward and NE Douglas Street. The proposed road will be a divided four lane, built to arterial standards, and have street lights, a sidewalk and a multi-use path. A major component of the project is a bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad. Due to the time required to have the Union Pacific review and approve the bridge over their tracks, the project will be built in two phases. Phase one, from Main to Douglas, is expected to be under construction this fall and completed by winter. Phase two will commence construction upon completion of the agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad, and work on phase two is estimated to begin in the spring of 2012. Depending on construction costs, additional work could include turn lane improvements to the high school and a left turn lane onto NE Woodbury Lane.
The Tudor Road Improvements project was approved by voters during the November 2010 no tax increase general obligation bond election. This project will provide another arterial link between Ward Road and Douglas Street and open up approximately 190 acres to development.
This project has been divided into two phases; the Phase 1 improvements are from Douglas to Main, and Phase 2 is from Main to Ward. The construction schedule reflects the Phase 1 improvements, and this schedule is dependent on property acquisition. It is anticipated the property for the improvements will be acquired this fall. Phase 2 (Main to Ward) is under design and is approximately 50% complete. Phase 2 includes the bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad's main line and will require agreements with the railroad. Also phase 2 includes significant utility relocations and property acquisition.
