We received official notice from our Public Works Department that Cleaver II Blvd construction is slated to begin the week of July 22nd. This traffic-taming project will likely take 3 months. The street will first be milled and stay that way for most of the time it is under construction due to the need to dowel in and properly install the concrete barriers for the bicycle lanes. After the concrete work is completed, it will be resurfaced and striped. City officials will be here next week doing a walk-through of the project with the contractor.
This project is something that the Rockhill neighborhood has wanted for decades, and we all hope that it will at least partially return us to those safer, and quieter, times when Cleaver was a two-lane street. Our thanks go to the Cleaver Committee of Jim Wanser, Nancy Abraham, Karen Moninger and Rick Crawford who negotiated the final details of this project with Bailey Waters of Public Works.

Next year the Rockhill Homes and Gardens Club is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Rockhill Neighborhood’s historic designation, the first neighborhood in Kansas City to be so honored. There are two things associated with this celebration that may interest you.
Historic Plaques
The club has designed and commissioned historic plaques that may be placed on every home within our historic district. They are cast aluminum, bronze/black in color, and measure 8.25 inches wide and 7 inches high.
As the attached photo shows, the plaques read: “This Property In The Rockhill Historic District Is Listed on the Kansas City Register Of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department Of The Interior “
The cost of each plaque will be approximately $250.
If you are interested in purchasing a plaque or have any questions, please contact Brian Ball at BrianRBall@gmail.com or 816.308.313
Orders Due by July 1st!
