The Kansas Department of Transportation will have an open house public hearing on the next phase of the East Kellogg freeway project. The project will extend the improvements from the K-96 interchange through 159th Street East and on to Prairie Creek Road in Andover.
KDOT has completed an environmental assessment of the project, and a document has been posted on the project website: eastkellogg.ksdotike.org
The assessment was conducted to look at the benefits and impacts of the project, to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act. Hard copies of the assessment can be seen at the Wichita Public Library Rockwell Branch at 5939 East 9th in Wichita, and at the Andover Public Library at 1511 East Central in Andover.
The public hearing will be held Thursday, November 17th from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Sunflower Elementary School gymnasium at 616 East Douglas in Andover. People can see the environmental assessment and make comments, and they can see updated designs for the proposed improvements. KDOT staff and the project team will be available to answer questions. There will not be a formal presentation, and people can go to the hearing at any time to look over the material and ask questions.
For people who can’t attend the hearing, a comment form will be available on the project website from November 17th through December 2nd.
