All City offices will be closed on Monday, January 16 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Offices will reopen on Tuesday, January 17 at 8 a.m. As a reminder, many of our services are offered online and are accessible at any time at cityofshawnee.org.
The City is proud to share the recent installation of three solar-powered information signs across the City! We placed these signs in three high-traffic areas as another way for people to get information and communication from the City. Whether that's an event preview, weather update, social media post or meeting reminder, these signs are here to orient and involve you in our community. These signs are located at:
- Outside of the Civic Centre at 13817 Johnson Drive
- Oxbow Park at 6001 Roger Road alongside Nieman Road
- Woodland Drive and Clear Creek Trail
