Third Street Improvements Project

Blue Parkway to Jefferson Street

The City of Lee’s Summit will be completing infrastructure improvements on the Third Street corridor from Blue Parkway to Jefferson Street, a project approved by voters with the passage of the 2017 sales tax initiative. The project aims to enhance safety and improve connectivity, resulting in an inviting gateway into historic downtown Lee’s Summit.

Construction begins in February 2025 and is expected to last until November 2025.

General Project & Utility relocation Updates

Specific corridor improvements include added pedestrian and cycling features such as a continuous sidewalk, multi-use path, and lighting; improved accessibility accommodations and compliance with current standards; improved or replaced pavement, curb, storm drainage, and water line infrastructure; utility relocations; and access management modifications such as driveway adjustments and consolidations.

These project investments will be impactful yet beneficial to residents and businesses along the corridor, in adjacent neighborhoods, and community-wide. The City anticipates these improvements will promote economic activity and investment along Third Street and create an inviting gateway into the downtown business district. The project also supports the City’s Livable Streets Policy.

Utility relocations for AT&T, Spire, Google and Spectrum are ongoing.

The Third Street Improvements Project officially begins in February 2025 and is expected to last until November 2025. Work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.
