Rosedale ‘university town plan’ meeting scheduled Monday evening

The Rosedale University Town Plan meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday, June 26, at 1401 Southwest Blvd., Kansas City, Kansas.

The community is invited to come out and help, and talk about the university town plan concept, said the communications coordinator for the Rosedale Development Association.

The Rosedale Development Association and the Unified Government Planning Department are holding the meeting to discuss the University Town Plan.

This plan is part of the Rosedale master plan that was recently adopted. There are some differences from the original master plan. The recently adopted master plan recommends a university town district near the University of Kansas Hospital and Medical Center.

Improving Fisher Park, transit access, walking and bike trails, and potentially a community center or library are among the items that are mentioned, according to the RDA. Housing also may be discussed.

Community engagement in Rosedale has improved since the Rosedale Development Association has taken a community survey, according to the RDA.

“We’re definitely excited,” said Andrea Steere, Rosedale Development Association’s communications and program coordinator. “We love the opportunity to continue to talk with the community about development, the look and feel of the community.”
