September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. 💜

This month is an opportunity to raise awareness, support those who may be struggling, remember the lives lost to su***de, and remind our friends, family and neighbors that help is available.

Sometimes, simply reaching out, listening without judgment, or checking in with someone can make a meaningful difference. Su***de prevention is a community effort, and we all have a role in helping one another feel connected and supported.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential support from trained crisis counselors is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

You are not alone. Help is available.

🚧 2026 Curb & Sidewalk Project Starting Soon 🚧

The City of Parkville’s 2026 Curb & Sidewalk Project is expected to begin next week, with improvements planned at dozens of locations throughout the City.

The project includes removing and replacing sections of:
• Curb and gutter
• Sidewalk
• ADA-accessible ramps

INCO USA LLC has been awarded the contract and will complete the work. Residents may see crews working at various locations throughout Parkville as the project progresses.

What affected property owners should know:

The Contractor will notify adjacent property owners at least 24 hours prior to work starting.

Crews are scheduled to work Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting.

While the contract allows for 90 calendar days, the City anticipates the work will be completed by mid-October.

Please use caution around active work zones and thank you for your patience as we make these improvements throughout Parkville!

Today, we recognize Women’s Equality Day, commemorating the certification of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920, which prohibited denying the right to vote on the basis of s*x.

Women’s Equality Day is an opportunity to recognize the generations of women who worked to expand voting rights and to celebrate the many contributions women continue to make in our communities and across the nation.

Today, we honor that history and the ongoing importance of equal opportunity and civic participation for all.

Know Your Roads – Parkville Edition 🚧

Did you know that not every road within Parkville is maintained by the City of Parkville?

Depending on the roadway, maintenance may be the responsibility of the City, Platte County or the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). Knowing who maintains the road helps get concerns to the right team AND gets them addressed more efficiently.

A timely example: MO Route 45

MO Route 45 is a state highway maintained by MoDOT, not the City of Parkville. That means concerns about pavement conditions, sidewalks, debris or other maintenance along MO-45 need to be addressed by MoDOT.

Residents can report a concern directly to MoDOT here:
🔗 https://www.modot.org/report-road-concern

When residents contact the City about issues along MO-45, we’re also happy to help direct those concerns to the appropriate agency and, when appropriate, submit a request to MoDOT as well.

What about Bell Road?

Bell Road is a different situation – it is maintained by the City of Parkville. The City is currently in the early stages of a major improvement project along Bell Rd. that includes new sidewalks, underground infrastructure improvements, and water-main work in partnership with Missouri American Water. Sometimes when a utility company is aware of work being done in the area, they will also do their upcoming work so that permanent finishing work is completed only once.

Because that construction requires significant work within and underneath the roadway, final paving will happen after the other improvements are complete. This prevents us from paving the road now only to tear portions of it back up during construction.

When the project is finished, the entire road surface will be repaved and returned to new condition. Construction will commence in Spring 2027 and continue through the fall / winter).

Learn more about the Bell Road Improvement / Sidewalk project:

Have a concern about a CITY street, sidewalk, curb or other city infrastructure or service?

The fastest way to let us know is through SeeClickFix:
🔗 https://parkvillemo.gov/residents/seeclickfix/

Since January 2024, the City has resolved more than 1,000 requests submitted through this system across ALL City services. It gives our team a direct way to receive, track and respond to community concerns.

Not sure who maintains a particular road? That’s OK—reach out to us. We’re always happy to help point you in the right direction.

Keeping Parkville informed is part of keeping Parkville moving. 🚧

SeeClickFix Parkville enables constituents to report problems to City departments through either a web portal or mobile application.
