2019 Annual Meeting Minutes

Brittany Oaks Homeowner Annual Meeting: April 23, 2019

Kansas City Councilman 2nd District- Dan Fowler

  • Discussed roads repairs, all to be fixed in a couple of years.  Upcoming road projects at 64th street, Prairie View Road, 72nd Street East of I29. 
  • Curbs are being evaluated
  • Potholes should be reported and are being fixed.
  • Snow removal:  residential streets the drivers don’t have CDL, the goal is to provide a 7 foot-wide-path to allow drivers to drive cautiously. A pickup is used in the subdivision, so they don’t always salt the roads. They would have to frequently reload salt to complete this task.  Sand is used at intersections and is problematic because it needs cleaned up and gets into the water system.  Cul-de-sacs are not a high priority and if you live at the top or the bottom of a hill they won’t risk getting stuck.  If you live in an area that is not cleaned well, PLEASE CALL 311.  They won’t accept any complaints until 24 hours after the snowfall.
