Meet a few of the dedicated team members who keep Raymore running smoothly as Public Works Director Trent Salsbury and Assistant Director Justin Paith share insights into their department's critical functions and upcoming projects.

• Engineering and operations teams work together to maintain city infrastructure while balancing reactive and proactive maintenance approaches

• Current projects include street preservation, curb replacement and the design of the upcoming Kurzweil Road reconstruction scheduled to begin next spring

• Safety remains a primary concern with crews working on streets and requesting drivers slow down around work zones

• Winter operations planning begins in summer, with preparation conversations starting in August and the annual snow kickoff meeting in October

• Longtime employee Andy Elliston reflects on his 46-year career with Raymore, witnessing the city grow from 3,000 to 25,000 residents while helping shape its infrastructure

• The Public Works Department takes pride in serving the community and making tangible improvements daily, with a team able to implement more proactive maintenance

If you see our Public Works crews working on streets or other infrastructure, please slow down, move over, and help keep them safe so they can return home to their families each day.
