Woods Chapel Road Improvements
Project Update

One of the most anticipated projects from the 2008 voter approved bond initiative is the Woods Chapel Road improvements. The original plan called for Woods Chapel Road to be improved in three phases. The current plan has consolidated all three phases into one and added an  additional phase, from Briarwood/Castle Drives to Walnut Street, to be completed at a later date.

Consolidating the phases will lessen congestion and inconvenience for commuters and leverage
lower construction costs by bidding the project at one time. Construction phasing will permit Woods Chapel Road to remain open throughout the project.

Construction is in full swing and this project is scheduled to be completed in 2014.

When Citizens Spoke, Blue Springs Listened
In 2007, 82% of residents surveyed via the Blue Springs Citizen Survey said they were dissatisfied with the traffic flow on Woods Chapel Road, particularly during rush hours. Additionally, the development of a "stress-free" transportation system provided easy navigation in Blue springs has been one of many priority focus areas for the Blue Springs Renew the Blue Citizen Visioning Group.

In 2008, Blue Springs voters overwhelmingly approved two bond issues for street and sewer improvements. Question 2 authorized the issuance of $28 million in general obligation "No Tax Increase" bonds for selected road and intersection improvements, including enhancements along the Woods Chapel Road Corridor in Blue Springs, Missouri.
