RETHINK MAGUIRE BACKGROUND

Rethink Maguire has been in the making for over a decade. With the award of a 2010 TIGER II/HUD Community Challenge planning grant, Warrensburg took its first steps towards transforming the Maguire Street corridor into a visually pleasing gateway that will improve the quality of life and safety for residents and visitors through modern, resilient infrastructure. The recommendations made in the final Maguire Street Corridor Plan were bold and ambitious.

Steady, incremental investments have improved the corridor over the last few years. However, the community recognized that it would take a very long time to realize the vision laid out in the Maguire Street Corridor Plan with the existing funds available. In April 2021, Warrensburg voters demonstrated their commitment to the vision for the Maguire Street corridor with a 79% approval rating of a $17 million general obligation bond initiative for street improvements.

In October 2023, the project was awarded a $280,000 federal Safe Streets for All grant to develop a Safety Action Plan and demonstration projects.
