The second public meeting for the K-254 Corridor Management Plan will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8, in the commons area of Circle Middle School in Benton.
The Kansas Department of Transportation, along with municipalities, other government agencies, property owners and individuals along K-254 in Sedgwick and Butler counties, is continuing to develop the plan. A formal presentation will begin at 5:45 p.m.
During the meeting, KDOT says the public will be able to review exhibits that describe potential improvement strategies for the corridor, based on community input from the previous meeting and new data analyses. Staff from KDOT and the consultant team will be present to listen to concerns and answer questions and seek public input.
The planning area includes 22 miles of K-254 from Wichita on the west to El Dorado on the east and within 1 mile of the highway. The planning process began during the summer of 2023 and will continue through the summer of 2024.
