In late August, the city of Kansas City, Missouri, broke ground on a medley of renovations in the Chaumiere neighborhood , including new sidewalks, upgraded intersections, and more bus stops.
It’s part of a $1 million plan; the money comes from Public Improvements Advisory Council and GO Funds.
Chaumiere, a neighborhood, north of the river in Kansas City, hasn’t seen upgrades like these in years.
KCMO Councilman Crispin Rea helped bring this plan to life. He gave this statement to KSHB 41 about how the project is going:
“A large portion of the sidewalk, bus stops, and infrastructure has already been completed. The entire project should be finished by June. I will ensure that the promise of basic services made to these northland neighborhoods decades ago will be kept.”
Today, there’s a stretch of sidewalks going down NE Russell Road. It’s a huge step for Steven Murphy and his wife, Cindy French. The new sidewalk is right across the street from their home.
