It's in a bad spot. Traffic is coming over the hill very fast. If you're driving a big truck or towing a trailer it's not uncommon to be in the middle of the intersection already committed to going when you first see the traffic coming but can't go fast enough to make it through without them slowing down too. Since there are no stop lights for a long way in each direction there are fewer natural breaks in traffic like there are at other intersections that allow a person an opportunity to get through.
It's also so wide there it's hard to tell which lane people are in and whether they are going straight or turning. It's about the equivelant of six lanes wide there because there is room between the left turn lanes and the traffic lanes.
Whatdahey - I didn't realize that. Thannks for clearing that up.
babs2503 - I think it can easily be done in the old post office. It's 3000 square feet. The proposed police department that didn't pass was almost as big as Lawrence's department office.
The alternate route for the chieftian trail extension is a good suggestion. It puts the trail going into the middle of eagle valley subdivision and closer to the highway and businesses. Truthfully that sounds like a good suggestion for everyone!
I do hope they fix the problems they had there in the basement - I had expected those to cost north of $10k. I wonder if this takes care of the mold and water problems?
Dennis, There is no user kansasjayhawk that I can find. There is a kansanjayhawk who has multiple times denied being you, but folks claim that he is you still.

School board extends Weseman's contract
What part are you upset about? You don't think we should pay people what they are worth? You're kind of all over the place there.

USD 464 looking at traffic issues
It seems to me that simply reversing the entrance and exit at the middle school will do a lot to relieve traffic and congestion at those places.

I'll agree with that. This is a great decision.
