It's been a long road. Since 2018, the City of KCMO and the Waldo Community Improvement District have been working on Wornall Road's infrastructure.

The City allocated ~$13.8 million to complete the project in two phases.

Phase one was completed in spring 2019. Upgrades were added from 85th Street to 89th Street — including a sidewalk, streetlights, and a new water line.

Now comes the finalelove: 74th Street to 79th Street.
