Westwood

Kansas City, Missouri, had several ballot questions to vote on — including a sales tax that could determine the future of the public bus system. Cities across Johnson and Wyandotte county also chose winners in local council, mayor, school board and other consequential races.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7! While Kansas City, Missouri, has no candidates on the ballot, voters will have several important questions to answer. In Johnson and Wyandotte counties, voters will have all kinds of local council, mayor, school board and other races to decide.

The Westwood City Council voted to pass a proposal that will replace Joe D. Dennis Park, at the corner of 50th Street and Rainbow Boulevard, with several multi-story, mixed-use buildings. Residents protested the project over concerns about its finances, the impact on pedestrians and Westwood's identity.
