Friday Greetings,
- Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Swift Kick Watch Party on Saturday! Special thanks to Photography by Andreas for sharing the attached photos.
- North Kansas City invites the community to attend a public information meeting for a Watermain Replacement Project on Burlington Street/MO Route 9 from E. 10th Avenue to E. 29th Avenue. The meeting will be on Thursday, July 23, from 4:30- 6:30 p.m. at 1301 Burlington Street. The City is planning to replace the aging water main along Burlington Street/MO Route 9 between E. 29th Avenue and E. 10th Avenue. The existing water main is approximately 100 years old and has experienced multiple breaks, resulting in traffic and service interruptions. This project will improve reliability, increase system capacity, and reduce future service disruptions along this important corridor. The project team will be on hand to share information and answer questions about the project and plans for improvements, set to begin in Fall 2026. Attendees are invited to stop in at any time during the open house. No formal presentation is planned. All project information will be posted at nkc.org/government/public-works.
- It’s block party season! A block party is a great way to celebrate and encourage stronger communities. North Kansas City residents may apply for a grant to host a neighborhood block party. Each grant will reimburse eligible expenses up to $400 per event. For more information on how to apply for a permit for a block party, please visit https://www.nkc.org/our-city/register-to-for/neighborhood-block-party-grants.
- Mark your calendar for National Night Out on Friday, August 14, from 4:30–7 p.m. at Macken Park! Hosted by the North Kansas City Police Department, National Night Out is a free, family-friendly event that brings neighbors, local businesses, and first responders together to build stronger community partnerships and promote public safety. Enjoy an evening of interactive activities, K-9 demonstrations, police vehicles and specialty units, community booths, games, and more. It's a great opportunity to meet your local officers, learn about the services available in our community, and spend time with friends and neighbors. We look forward to seeing you at Macken Park!
