Capital Improvement Program

Lenexa takes a proactive, data-driven approach to pavement maintenance to prolong the useful life of roads. Over the next five years, $47.03 million has been allocated for mill and overlay; curb and gutter replacement; and asphalt surface replacement through the annual Pavement Management Program. New project areas are identified at the start of each program year. (Ongoing) 

Some streets are past their useful life, and surface treatments are no longer an option for these roads. The Street Reconstruction Program dedicates $13.51 million for full or partial reconstruction of failed streets, plus new sidewalks, curbs, streetlights and storm drainage improvements as needed. Streets in the Green Prairie subdivision will be replaced in 2025.

Lenexa has set aside $11.43 million for design and construction of a new interchange at Lone Elm Road and Kansas Highway 10. The project is anticipated to be incorporated into the Kansas Department of Transportation's K-10 Corridor Capacity Improvements Project. The official timeline is pending KDOT approval.

The Sidewalk and Trail Repair Program has allocated $2.10 million to maintenance and filling missing gaps in the network, creating a more cohesive and walkable environment. (Ongoing)
