Southeast Douglas Street Project

Blue Parkway to Fourth Street

The City is designing infrastructure improvements for the Southeast Douglas Street corridor from Blue Parkway to Fourth Street, a project approved by voters with the passage of the April 2023 No Tax Increase Bond. The project goals are to enhance safety, improve roadway operations, provide pedestrian and bicycle amenities, and facilitate growth and livability for residents in Lee’s Summit.

Public Meeting

A public meeting was held on July 10 at City Hall.

This project will improve Douglas Street from Blue Parkway to Fourth Street. The project includes, but is not limited to, paving, sidewalks, curbs, storm drainage work and street lighting. This project will reconstruct the existing infrastructure that has deteriorated over the long life of the roadway. The City has received many service requests in this area related to roadside ditching, stormwater, sidewalks and routes to school.

These project investments will be impactful, yet beneficial to residents and businesses along the corridor, in adjacent neighborhoods and community-wide. The City has received many service requests in this area related to roadside ditching, stormwater, sidewalks and routes to school. The project supports the City’s Livable Streets Policy.

Construction is expected to begin in spring of 2027.
