New Jefferson Parkway Sidewalk Dedicated in Harrisonville

Members of the Harrisonville Park Board, along with city officials and local residents, officially opened the new Jefferson Parkway sidewalk Tuesday evening with a ribbon cutting.

The new walkway provides a safe, off-road surface connecting North Park with the Community Center. There is also an extension to the Harrisonville Villas.

It was funded with grants from the Missouri Department of Transportation, the Parkland Dedication fund and the city’s street department sidewalk fund. The total project cost was $217,445, which was more than $12,000 under budget.
