Thanks Cherokee Residents
I have met with the Prairie Village Director of Public Works, Bob Pryzby regarding traffic calming. I was extremely impressed by the progress that has been made by the group led by Ward 3 and Cherokee Drive resident Kisa White in working with PV staff to develop a comprehensive program that will address traffic issues throughout the entire city.
From what I have seen, anyone who wanted to address residential traffic issues in PV in a sensible, forward-looking, neighborhood-friendly way owes a debt to Mrs. White and her neighbors for the work they've done one this plan. Their efforts are a testament to the power of residents who want to work to solve problems not just complain and go home.

I'm very pleased to FINALLY see news about the work being done to calm traffic in Prairie Hills. To be clear. It has been an ENTIRELY volunteer effort by residents only. I'm grateful to Kisa that she has continued the work begun by a small group of Cherokee Drive residents. This volunteer effort began with an on-line petition that was sent to Cherokee Drive residents more than a year ago. The petition connected Marsha Bjerkan, Kisa and Carol Kobza to plan volunteer efforts including a meeting inviting all of the Cherokee Drive residents. At least 15 residents of Cherokee Drive attended a City Council meeting and presented our concerns. It wasn't as simple as meeting with Bob Prysby. It took sincere effort. And it has been extremely difficult to get ANY response from elected officials. There is no guideline provided by the City of Prairie Village for how to make change happen. It has been surprising and often disappointing and I'm glad to see that Kisa hasn't given up. Great job, Kisa.
