Basehor Complete Streets Plan

The condition of the City’s streets was identified as the third highest priority for improvements in the 2019 City of Basehor Citizen Satisfaction Survey. 

In January of 2022, the City’s Governing Body authorized the Basehor Complete Street Inventory Project. This initiative called for the inventory and assessment of all Basehor streets to create a long-term maintenance and improvement plan to support current infrastructure as well as accommodate future growth.

Following the assessment of the City’s streets by a neutral third-party, every Basehor street was then assigned a rating based on their condition. The results of the streets’ assessment can be seen here:

A 5-Year Pavement Management Plan was then created that would not only provide for the reconstruction of poor and failed roads but would also include maintenance for good-rated streets to preserve them and prolong their life span. 

It was identified that there is a significant cost savings by applying restoring methods early in a street’s lifecycle and keeping good roads properly maintained versus delaying maintenance and creating costly reconstruction in the future. 

By implementing strategic preservation techniques, many years of useful life can be added to a street’s lifespan at a substantial cost savings versus costly postponed maintenance and reconstruction. The City’s 5-Year Pavement Management Plan would implement these preservation techniques while simultaneously reconstructing the streets that have deteriorated past the point of restoration. 


Surfacing options 

The City of Basehor’s Governing Body has authorized year 1 of the 5-year plan, permitting $1.6 million in road improvements. These improvements are planned to take place through 2024. Years 2-5 would have been funded if the 1% general citywide sales tax had been approved in June 2023. Since the vote for the 1% general citywide sales tax did not pass, the budget currently includes modest roadway improvements over a longer period of time than the proposed 5-Year Pavement Management Plan.
