Have construction and detours at Kansas Highway 7 and Johnson Drive affected your patronage of businesses in the area?

Although the construction has made it more difficult to travel to businesses at K-7 and Johnson Drive, I still try to go and support those businesses when possible.

Since we live east of Interstate 435 close to Pflumm Road and Shawnee Mission Parkway, we very seldom find ourselves in that part of the community. Although, I do travel there to buy my guitar strings from Blues to Bach.

We live in the neighborhood and have had to direct some of our patronage elsewhere due to inconveniences caused by the construction.

No, but I take K-7 southbound to work every day and traffic is slow since only one lane is open. I never see road work performed, which is also frustrating.

The sacrifices made, due to the construction and detours in the area, mean increased progress for businesses and patrons with safety in mind.

I try to avoid construction and detours if possible. Some businesses are the only one of their kind and I need to go, but generally I will go in another direction.

Unfortunately, yes. We now shop for gas, prescriptions, Chinese food and barbecue in different locations due to the difficulty in reaching those services at K-7 and 55th Street.
