Don Roberts, mayor, said there was a lot of fantastic stuff happening for Edgerton and a lot of accomplishments the past year. “Opportunities turn into accomplishments,” he said, at the State of the City address March 31 at Edgerton City Hall. Roberts highlighted 2021 new projects including the 207th Street Grade Separation and Glendell Acres Park renovation. Roberts said the 207th Street project was needed especially for emergency services to be able to cross the railroad tracks. Dennis Meyers, Johnson County Fire District 1 fire chief, said it was a game changer for public safety. “It is meaningful to no longer be held up at the tracks,” he said. Dan Merkh, public works director, said the project wasn’t a financial burden to residents.
