City View at Splitlog lists laundry hookups in both apartment sizes
City View at Splitlog, at 516 Splitlog Avenue, advertises one- and two-bedroom apartments. Both floor-plan pages list hardwood floors, stainless appliances, private balconies or patios and washer/dryer hookups. Supplied laundry machines are not specified.
The operator’s homepage and one-bedroom page show different starting rents, so a single current price cannot be established from those pages. Leasing is available at 913-269-6723.
Central Avenue’s river crossing is part of a replacement project
The Unified Government’s January 2026 announcement says the Central Avenue bridge over the Kansas River closed in spring 2021. It distinguishes that river bridge from the separate I-70 and Union Pacific Railroad bridges, which were open when the announcement was issued.
The same announcement gives late 2028 as the earliest possible timing for construction bids. That is a bid milestone, not a promised reopening date. A resident travelling toward the West Bottoms cannot treat this planned replacement as an available Central Avenue river crossing.
