This website is in support of livable streets in Lee's Summit.
A “Livable Streets” approach to designing, building, resurfacing and maintaining our streets would improve safe access along and across Lee’s Summit streets for all citizens. This includes motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit riders, regardless of age, abilities or disabilities.

Dan Wiltshire - Rides into work on May 18th
This morning, I met the “spirit” of Bike to Work week, if not the full intention – I drove my bike 16 miles in my car and rode it the last 3+ to work just outside of Blue Springs. It was still refreshing, and I still got to hear the birds and feel the breeze and enjoy the sunshine and see and hear the 12 goslings between the adult geese as I pedaled along silently.
