The Lawrence – Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Policy Board approved Transportation 2040 on March 15, 2018. Transportation 2040 is the blueprint for our future Transportation system. It is a vision for a healthy, safe, and efficient Transportation system, which adequately serves Lawrence, Eudora, Baldwin City, Lecompton, and unincorporated areas of Douglas County.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) requested an amendment to Transportation 2040 for two projects that are included in the Kansas Department of Transportation Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program IKE Development Pipeline Project.
Amendment #1 amends the two projects into the fiscally constrained project list.
- US-40/K-10 Interchange Improvement (Diverging Diamond Interchange, at W. 6thStreet)
- US-56 Reconstruction (US-56/US-59 Junction to East to 1600 Rd)
The MPO’s Public Participation Plan requires amendments to Transportation 2040 be released for 30-day public comment and review, which will begin on December 22 and will end on January 21.
Comments received will be considered and presented to the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Policy Board at their February 18 virtual meeting, 3 pm.
