34th & Beard development (Barrett Drilling plat)
Summary
A preliminary plat for land at 34th and Beard drew a crowd of concerned neighbors worried about traffic, fire truck access, water and sewer service, wildlife, floodplain status, and proximity to Shawnee Middle School. The city misprinted the hearing notices, so everything was pushed to November 16 — neighbors get another shot to be heard.
