Overland Park to name street after police officer Mike Mosher, who was slain in May

The city of Overland Park is renaming a street for police officer Mike Mosher, who was killed in the line of duty in May. Monday night, the City Council unanimously agreed to change the name of 123rd Street, between Metcalf Avenue and Blue Valley Parkway, to Mike Mosher Boulevard. That section of street is near the spot where Mosher died in a shootout with a suspect. “It’s a great idea. I’m excited that we can honor Mike in a timely manner,” Overland Park Police Chief Frank Donchez said at Monday’s meeting. “It was the ultimate sacrifice. Mike’s a hero. And I just want to thank everybody for the hard work that’s gone into this.”
