Yesterday as I was driving around looking at Prairie Village homes for sale, I noticed there was an accident at the intersection of 71sth St and State Line Road. A stoplight had been knocked over; police were at the scene and a four way stop had been set up for traffic control . It was about 12:30pm when I drove by.
I drive through this intersection at least twice a day…usually three or four times. Although this is a fairly busy intersection, it is surrounded by residential housing and is a two lane road. It’s one of those odd places where on the west side of the road, you are in Kansas; on the right side you are in Missouri (hence the name State Line Road).
A few hours later, around 5pm, I was surprised to see the stoplight back in it’s place and working as usual! This was a very tall stoplight and it had been knocked over completely. But the Prairie Village public works department was on top of it, getting the repair done within a few hours.
This quick response is indicative of how well run Prairie Village runs its small city government. They took care of this problem fast, so traffic could get back to normal. Thanks to the public works department for a job well done!
