The City of Overland Park will hold an open house this week to share early plans for a linear park near College Boulevard and Metcalf Avenue.
The College and Metcalf mobility enhancements project includes building amenities along College to:
- Make the area more walkable and bikeable
- Enhance the attractiveness of the corridor
- Make the area more of a destination to attract visitors, and
- Improve the experience for residents and workers who live near the district.
The plan includes a linear park along the south side of College Boulevard, a multi-use path connecting nearby Summercrest Park, pedestrian and bike connections, high-visibility crosswalks, places to rest along the trail, and more.
City staff and BHC, the consulting engineering firm hired to design the improvements, will be available at the open house to answer questions regarding project details, including the concept plan, property acquisition and project schedule.
Thursday, Oct. 23
4:30- 6 p.m.
Tomahawk Ridge Community Center, 11902 Lowell Avenue
