About the Project
Rethink Maguire (formerly known as the Maguire Street Corridor Project), is the City of Warrensburg’s process to transform the Maguire Street corridor which connects U.S. 50 to the University of Central Missouri and the larger community. The project corridor includes Maguire Street from Cooper Boulevard north of the U.S. 50 interchange to Broad Street in Warrensburg, Missouri. The Maguire Street corridor is the highest-volume thoroughfare in the city with nearly 18,000 trips per day.
Rethink Maguire engaged city residents, businesses and stakeholders in crafting a vision for the improvements needed to upgrade this corridor to improve the quality of life and enhance safety for residents and visitors through modern, resilient infrastructure. More than 1,000 comments were received during the design phase of the project.
Construction on Maguire Street began in the fall of 2024 and was completed in 2025. Maguire Street was rebuilt from Furmeson Street to Broad Street from the ground up, including utility upgrades to gas, water, sanitary sewer and stormwater systems, traffic signal improvements, and power and communication poles relocated to allow for ADA improvements to sidewalks and crosswalks.
