New, free shuttle coming to downtown Overland Park this summer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The city of Overland Park announced that a new means of transportation will soon arrive in its historic downtown.
According to the city, starting on Saturday, residents and visitors will be able to catch a free ride on the circulator shuttle, which will take passengers from City Hall to the heart of downtown Overland Park.

The shuttle will run every Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. until July 26.
The city says the new addition offers visitors easier access to downtown, allowing them to spend more time at the farmers' market and local businesses.
'This shuttle service makes visiting Downtown OP even easier,' Mayor Curt Skoog said in a statement. 'It's my hope that visitors and residents will come for the Farmers' Market and stay for our wonderful downtown shops and restaurants before hopping a ride home.'
The shuttle's route will start and end at City Hall; however, there will be four stops in between:
Overland Park City Hall at 85th and Antioch
Santa Fe Drive at Clock Tower Plaza
79th and Marty
Mid-block between 79th and 80th on Floyd
80th and Marty
It will arrive every 15 minutes at these locations, and riders can get on and off at any stop.

On Saturday, June 14, passengers can expect a slightly different route due to road closures for the Downtown Overland Park Art Fair. That route will still begin and end at City Hall but will make a wider loop through downtown.

Long Grove bridge hit by moving truck, allegedly for the 67th time
LONG GROVE, Ill. (WGN) — Water is wet. The sky is blue. Someone hit the Long Grove Covered Bridge again. A WGN TV News viewer sent a small treasure trove of photos detailing the latest vehicle that was too tall to pass over Buffalo Creek. The viewer told WGN TV News this is allegedly the 67th time the bridge has been struck by a vehicle. Built 1906, it was initially named after Buffalo Creek, and didn't feature a wooden roof over the top of it. The wooden cover was added in 1972. The bridge, which measures 8-feet-6-inches tall, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2018, and was promptly plowed through two weeks later. Cover Story: The infamous Long Grove Covered Bridge It was restored, but 23 hours after the official reopening in August 2020, another driver in a chartered school bus not only hit it, but got stuck. The good news is, it wasn't completely obliterated like it was in 2018. With how frequent the bridge has been struck over the years, one would think there's a lack of signage around the well-battered crossing, but that's not the case. Signs are posted on, before and after crossing the bridge on Robert Parker Coffin Road, and they have done little to stop vehicles from leaving various dings and dents over the years, fines for which start at $700.
