Crewmen poured concrete Wednesday, Aug. 19 to make a new exit ramp from northbound I-29 to NW 64th Street.

The construction is part of the Prairie View Road improvement project to realign NW Prairie View Road on the south side of NW 64th Street from Interstate 29 with N. Chatham Ave. and NW 62nd Terrace.

The contractors expect the roadway tie-in of NW Prairie View Road to N. Chatham Rd. to be completed next month.

These improvements are intended to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and improve safety.

The road project also includes new street lighting, storm sewer and water main work. Additionally, new curbs, gutters and sidewalks will be added.

According to information provided by project manager Kim Pemberton with the City of Kansas City, a roundabout will be constructed where Chatham Ave., NW 62nd Street and the realigned Prairie View Road come together.

The road improvement project is funded by general obligation bond funding and federal funding from the Missouri Department of Transportation.

Valerie decided she wanted to be a newspaper reporter when she was 28 years old and she successfully convinced the editor of the Platte County Landmark to give it 30 days. It was a unique period of her life when she exuded confidence while fearing she missed her calling after stints as a waitress, bank teller, hotelier, and educator.

Over nearly a decade she has written countless stories on local government, education, lawsuits, community news, crime, and the prison system.

Valerie hails from Park University with a BA in Elementary Education and a post-baccalaureate degree in paralegal studies from Penn Valley Community College. She has received honorable mention for Best Government News Story and joined her Landmark colleagues as recipient of the General Excellence Award in the Better Newspaper Contest sponsored by the Missouri Press Association.
