Rochester on Blue Parkway

Following the Brush Creek Flood of 1977, the City of Kansas City, Missouri made extensive improvements to Blue Parkway, including raising the roadway for a significant portion of its length along Brush Creek.  The roadway improvements triggered extensive development along the corridor, including the H&R Block Service Center, the First Guard Health Building, and the Blue Parkway Shopping Center.

The Rochester on Blue Parkway will be a new four-story building that features 72 units of one-, two-, and three-bedroom market rate apartments. The project is located on a portion of the Swope Community Builders Campus with surrounding amenities and will be the area’s latest development.

Taliaferro & Browne provided civil engineering and land survey services including a topographic survey and a subdivision plat for the project. Civil engineering services including the preparation of an urban redevelopment plan, along with site design, site grading plans, utility service connections, stormwater detention, paving, sidewalks, and parking lot modifications. T&B also prepared sanitary sewer main extension plans to provide service to the project.
