Kansas City leaders want to put Wornall Road on a Road Diet, but need your feedback | KCUR

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

The reconstruction of a portion of Wornall Road in Kansas City will begin in one to three years, according to a city project manager.

The lane restructuring would transform the troublesome Wornall Road between Gregory Boulevard and 63rd Street from a four-lane road to a two-lane road with a center turn lane. The corridor has been under construction for years, residents said, and has caused them a fair share of headaches and flat tires.

The project, headed by the Kansas City Public Works Department, is formally known as a road diet, a roadway reconfiguration that can “improve safety, calm traffic, provide better mobility and access for all road users, and enhance overall quality of life,” according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration.
