Missouri Route 269 is a highway in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Its total length is a short , which is also entirely named Chouteau Trafficway as a segment of that much longer trafficway. The highway's northern terminus is at Interstate 35 (I-35) and its southern terminus is at Front StreetTemplate:Mdashboth in Kansas City, Missouri. The middle of the route includes an interchange with Route 210 in the small city of North Kansas City, Missouri.

Chouteau Trafficway is very narrow for its amount of traffic, so in mid-2011, all buildings on Chouteau Trafficway between NE Parvin Road and NE Winn Road were taken by eminent domain and razed to widen Route 269 into a four-lane boulevard.
