Not yet. In September 2026 the City Council passed a non-binding resolution (No. 5157) to explore city-contracted trash, recycling and yard waste service in place of today’s system, where residents or HOAs hire their own haulers. A final plan, public hearing and hauler bidding still have to happen, and under Kansas law new contracts could start no earlier than January 2029.

Curtin Property Co. is planning a roughly $2 billion mixed-use redevelopment, now called Meridian, on about 200 acres near I-435 and Antioch Road. As of October 2026 the developer said financing for the first building (300+ apartments with ground-floor retail) is secured and groundbreaking could come by the end of 2026, with about two years of construction to follow. The city’s deadline to start that first building is July 31, 2027.

Yes. In early November 2026 the City Council voted 9-3 to call a mail-in special election and approve the ballot language for a 10-year, quarter-cent parks and recreation sales tax.

The 167th Development by Price Brothers, the developer of Bluhawk, covers about 100 acres south of Bluhawk. Plans call for 122 small-lot single-family homes, 343 apartments in eight buildings and about 30 acres of commercial space. The City Council approved the rezoning on Oct. 5, 2026, and a final development plan still needs Planning Commission review.

Hunt Midwest is building Canvas at 8036 Metcalf Ave., with 227 one- and two-bedroom apartments and more than 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space. Construction began in October 2026, and the building is expected to open in early 2029.

City Hall operations are moving to 6201 College Blvd., and the city expects the new City Hall to be fully operational in 2034. The current City Hall and Myron Scafe building on Santa Fe Drive keep operating until then, and their future has not been decided.

29th Street Capital has proposed a five-story building with 198 apartments and townhomes, about 7,300 square feet of ground-floor retail and a 265-space parking structure on the former Overland Park Funeral Chapel site. The developer is asking for $12.7 million in tax increment financing, with City Council hearings expected in November 2026.

It is moving forward. In early November 2026 the City Council approved $425,000 for Dream Theatre LLC to reopen the historic Rio as a single-screen theater: $200,000 toward buying the property and $225,000 for exterior work, on a project estimated at $4.5 million. The architects plan to start construction after the new year. The theater is on the National Register of Historic Places, and no reopening date has been set.

No decision has been made. City staff said in October 2026 that a fuller study of the current City Hall and the Myron Scafe building is forecast for around 2029-2030. Operations are expected to move to the new City Hall at 6201 College Blvd., with full operation targeted for 2034, and the 87th Street Corridor Study will not make a final recommendation on the building.

Bluhawk is a mixed-use district built by Price Brothers along US-69 at 159th Street in southern Overland Park. In October 2026 the City Council approved a further phase of apartments, homes and retail just to the south at 167th Street and US-69.

Hy-Vee plans a roughly 66,000-square-foot grocery store in the former Price Chopper space at Rosana Square, 7418 W. 119th St. The Planning Commission approved the final development plan in October 2026, including a pharmacy drive-thru; an opening date has not been announced.

The mall’s owner, CBL Properties, applied in July 2026 to rezone the property at 95th Street and Quivira Road for mixed use. The plan calls for a 260-unit apartment building, a 120-room hotel, an expanded theater and conference center for The Culture House, an office and retail building, two restaurants and new park space. The rezoning (case REZ2026-00010) is on the Planning Commission’s Nov. 9, 2026 agenda, and it still needs a final City Council vote.

Yes, one is coming. In 2026 the City Council created the 22-year OP Central community improvement district around the Black & Veatch campus. It adds a 1.5% sales tax starting in 2034, rising to 2% in 2049. A separate transportation development district with a proposed 0.5% sales tax is still awaiting a council vote.

Yes. Overland Park bills a stormwater utility fee on each property owner’s annual city property tax bill. The fee was set at $41 per home in 2025, and in June 2026 the Public Works Committee recommended a $3 increase to $44 per home for 2027 as part of the 2027 budget.

The express toll lanes run in both directions on US-69 between 103rd and 151st streets and opened in late February 2026. Drivers enter and exit near 103rd Street, Blue Valley Parkway, 135th Street and 151st Street. Tolls change with demand and time of day and are posted on digital signs. Drivers with a K-TAG from the Kansas Turnpike Authority pay about half the non-K-TAG rate, and the speed limit in the lanes is 65 mph.

The section of 95th Street near Moody Park Drive, east of Switzer Road, closed Oct. 14, 2026 and was expected to reopen around Nov. 12, 2026. Crews are replacing a stormwater box culvert and inlets in the roughly $8.5 million final phase of a four-phase flood-reduction project. The posted detour uses 103rd Street to Quivira Road or Antioch Road.

Not before Jan. 1, 2029. The City Council is expected to hear the formal recommendation in December 2026 and vote on the plan in early 2027, and Kansas law then requires an 18-month waiting period before a new city contract can take effect.

Under the proposal, households in the city contract would be billed through a flat yearly special assessment on their city property tax bill. The final cost has not been set; a May 2026 city projection estimated about $22.92 per household per month. HOAs with their own hauling contracts could opt out.

The Overland Park Historical Society keeps the 1906 depot building near 80th Street and Santa Fe Drive, where it runs the Discover OP museum. The city is taking over the land facing Overland Park Drive and 80th Street to build a public plaza. The design and construction year have not been set.

Generally no. The city’s development code allows motor vehicles to park only on paved parking areas, with some exceptions written into the code (UDO 18.430.010). For a single-family home, driveways and paved parking can cover no more than 35% of a yard that faces a street.

The market is at Clock Tower Landing, 7950 Santa Fe St., in downtown Overland Park. The fall season runs Saturdays from Oct. 3 through Nov. 21, 2026, from 8 a.m. to noon. There is no market on Nov. 28, and the holiday market follows on Saturdays from Dec. 5 to Dec. 19, also from 8 a.m. to noon. The main season runs Saturdays and Wednesdays from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., starting in the spring.

Under the plan the city presented in fall 2026, an active HOA could opt out and keep its own hauler contract by giving the city proof of that contract and a list of the addresses it covers. All other households would be included in the city contract automatically. The plan is not final yet. It goes to the City Council in December 2026, and a final vote is expected in early 2027.

The fall 2026 proposal includes weekly trash and recycling pickup, quarterly bulky-item pickup, and yard waste pickup weekly from March through November and monthly in the colder months. Curbside glass recycling and composting would not be included. The hauler, the cost per household and the pickup days have not been decided.

The city says the money would go only to parks projects. Ideas the Parks and Recreation director presented in November 2026 include a new park at 161st Street and Mission Road on land the city already owns, an upgrade of Highland View Park, improvements at the flood-prone Indian Creek Recreation Center, new playgrounds, shelters or other amenities at parks such as Osage, Hickory Hills, Brookridge, Switzer and Linwood, and work on regional pools and trails. The project list is not final.

Under the Playbook OP parks plan the City Council approved in late September 2026, the city’s regional pools, including Young’s Pool and the Tomahawk Ridge Aquatic Center, and the Matt Ross Community Center pool are set to be renovated or replaced. Stonegate Pool will get no improvements and will run out its remaining useful life. Bluejacket Pool closed in 2024 after 51 years. The plan does not set dates for individual pool projects, and much of the funding depends on the parks sales tax going to voters in March 2027.

It is a city study of about 1.25 miles of 87th Street, from the western city limit to Antioch Road, funded by a nearly $100,000 Planning Sustainable Places grant from the Mid-America Regional Council. It focuses mainly on transit, walking and biking, and also looks at land use, including the current City Hall site near Antioch Road and Santa Fe Drive. It is not expected to decide that building’s future.

If voters approve the quarter-cent parks and recreation sales tax in the mail-in election that closes March 2, 2027, it would start Oct. 1, 2027, and run for 10 years before expiring unless voters renew it. The city projects about $176 million over that period, for parks projects only. Ballots could begin arriving by Feb. 10, 2027.

Developer GSR has proposed a mixed-use redevelopment of Corporate Woods, the 29-building office park along Antioch Road between I-435 and College Boulevard. The plan, called The Woods, would add 1,206 townhomes, multiplex homes and apartments, about 29,000 square feet of shops and restaurants, a central lawn and trail connections over five phases while the office buildings stay. The Planning Commission voted 10-0 on Nov. 9, 2026 to recommend the rezoning; the City Council makes the final decision (tentatively Dec. 7).

The new City Hall is at 6201 College Blvd. The city says it expects the new City Hall to be fully operational in 2034, with operations moving over within the next decade. Plans for the current City Hall near Antioch Road and Santa Fe Drive and the Myron Scafe building have not been decided.

Under rules the City Council adopted in November 2026, a neighborhood street is widened during reconstruction only if it is narrower than 26 feet measured from the back of each curb, and streets wider than the 28-foot maximum may be narrowed. Each rebuild also requires a tree survey and a speed study.
