Local leaders have their hearts in the right place . . . But read the plans and realize they're going to end up with a confusing maze very quickly . . . And at great expense . . . Check-it:
"The Leawood City Council passed an ordinance, known as the 103rd Street Project, that they hope will lead to improvements.
"The goal is to reduce 103rd Street between Pawnee and Sagamore from four lanes to three — with one travel lane in each direction and a center turn lane to help calm traffic.
"Bike lanes on both sides of the road will also be added to enhance safety for cyclists and create a larger buffer for pedestrians.
"Sidewalks are slated to be widened to eight feet between Pawnee and Wenoga, with ADA ramps installed along the corridor.
"Pedestrian signals will be upgraded to a high-intensity activated crosswalk, known as a HAWK Pedestrian Signal, which aims to increase driver awareness and provide a safer crossing experience for pedestrians — especially near the school.
"The changes will require an adjustment by drivers who use the road, especially during rush hour."
