C.A.R.S Project 2023: Foxridge Dr. (51st St. to Lamar Ave.) Street Rehabilitation Project was part of the City’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan project for 2023. The scope of work included full depth pavement reconstruction; installation of a new sidewalk and retaining walls; stormwater improvements; traffic signal buyout and replacement; streetlights; and pavement markings.

JOHNSON DRIVE LANDSCAPE RENOVATION PROJECT

The landscape on Johnson Drive, between Lamar Avenue and Maple Street, was completed in 2014. Over the past ten years, the area has experienced issues related to overgrowth, creating sight distance problems and attracting bugs. In response to concerns raised by business owners and to address the deteriorating condition of the landscape, the City decided to evaluate and renovate the corridor with a new landscape design incorporating native plantings.

The scope of work for the renovation project includes the removal of existing plants and replacing them with native plantings and 6 months of maintenance once the project is accepted as complete. The goal is to create a visually appealing and sustainable landscape that supports Mission’s Climate Action goals. Native plants require less water and maintenance, provide habitat for pollinators, food for birds and sink carbon into the ground with their deep roots.

The 2024 Johnson Drive Landscape Renovation Project, which includes the landscape renovation on Johnson Drive between Lamar Avenue and Maple Street, was bid in January. The bids were opened on January 31, 2024. Three bids were received, with Country Brook Landscapers submitting the lowest and most responsive bid.

September 10 – The project kicks off this week with staging of new plantings, dirt, and mulch at the Outlook parking lot. Planting is expected to begin today, and the project should be completed by the end of October. Upon completion, the project will enter a six-month maintenance period. 

Nelson Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Nelson Complex Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) is Johnson County’s oldest treatment facility, and its service area is comprised of two main tributary basins – one of which is the Mission Main (MTM1).  The improvements project will upgrade the treatment facility as well as some pump stations and mains to address aged and deteriorating infrastructure and to comply with regulatory requirements.
