Missouri Route 269


Route 269 is a short highway in the Kansas City, Missouri area. Its total length is about and it is known as Chouteau Trafficway for its entire length. The northern terminus is at Interstate 35 in Kansas City; its southern terminus is at Front Street in Kansas City. The route had an interchange with Route 210 in North Kansas City. Chouteau Trafficway is a very narrow road for the amount of traffic it handles, so in the summer of 2011, all buildings located on Chouteau between NE Parvin Road and NE Winn Road were taken by eminent domain and razed in order to widen Route 269 into a four-lane boulevard.
