Update From Highway Task Force

 

 

The Highway Task Force had their meeting in the Southeast corner of Kansas over in Pittsburg recently as representative Jim Kelly says, some of the projects in our area may be getting recognized as high priority due to the fatalities, and high truck traffic. Kelly says the 169 coalition was united this time around, as they outlined a few projects in our area that may be listed as high priority. Including adding shoulders to 169 near Welda and Garnet as well as the 160-169 interchange outside of Independence. The high fatality areas of 160 and 169 are receiving the most attention and may be put on the high priority list later on. Kelly says the 169 coalition was very united during the meeting and is optimistic. Another item on the list was to come up with a design to improve the flow of traffic on highway 169 through Thayer and Coffeyville.
