83rd Street - Gleason Road to Clare Road
- Project typeStreets / Bridges / Traffic
- Project cost$13,671,790
- Project schedule2025–2027
Project purpose
Continued development in western Lenexa, along with potential traffic increases from the Panasonic Plant, show that 83rd Street will need capacity and safety improvements in the next five years. The current street is a two-lane road without adequate shoulders, stormwater system or street lighting.
Project description
The project will reconstruct the existing two-lane street into a four-lane street with new concrete curb and gutter, asphalt/concrete pavement, stormwater system, street lighting, and traffic signals. Bike lanes and trails will also be evaluated during the design phase. Other work will include property acquisition and major utility relocations.

Detailed map
Design phase
The City has engaged HNTB Corporation to provide engineering services. The project design will be divided into two phases:
Design Phase 1
Phase 1 will be focused on engineering surveys, traffic study, high-level concept designs, and cost estimates for 83rd Street from Gleason Road to Clare Road.
Phase 1 will also include traffic and high-level concept analysis of the broader 83rd Street Study Corridor from Clare Road to the western Lenexa city limits (Exhibit A). These results will allow us to establish roadway geometrics and schedules for implementing these improvements.
The contract completion date for Phase 1 is August 30, 2024.
Upon completion of Phase 1, results of the analysis will be provided and your input solicited during one-on-one meetings with affected property owners as well as a public meeting.
Design Phase 2
Phase 2 will take the Phase 1 selected alternative (Clare Road to Gleason Road) and prepare detailed plans, specifications, and cost estimates.
Field survey
HNTB has subcontracted with Kaw Valley Engineering (KVE) for surveying services. KVE will perform field surveys including field locating utilities and full topography survey encompassing the project limits between Clare Road and Gleason Road.
The survey work may require access to your property by the surveyors, who will be in identifiable safety vests.
