Pflumm Road capacity and safety

Olathe

Summary

Pflumm Road between 151st and 159th is a two-lane road carrying about 10,500 vehicles a day, and it's not in the city's capital improvement plan for widening. Residents and commissioners worried that adding hundreds of apartment trips — plus detour traffic from nearby road closures — makes an already dangerous corridor worse.
