HAWK Signal Brings Safety to Independence Ave | Lawrence News

Kansas City is installing a HAWK signal at the Park Avenue intersection on Independence Avenue — one of the city’s most dangerous streets — to protect pedestrians, especially kids heading to school. After years of community pressure from residents and local groups like the Northeast Chamber of Commerce, the city has acted, backed by data showing these signals can slash pedestrian crashes by 70%. Funded through the Public Improvement Advisory Committee at a cost of $1 million, this is just the beginning: advocates are already eyeing other high-risk intersections for similar upgrades.
