Bypass not slated to add flood protection for Chanute
Kansas Highway Commission members told Chanute businessmen and officials that the proposed U.S. 169 bypass would not enhance flood protection. The Chanute City Commission and Chamber of Commerce still supported the route, though design chief Robert L. Anderson said the bypass could not prevent floods and might raise them. Cost estimates for the eastern segment rose to about 9 million dollars from 5 million, prompting consideration of alternative routes east or west of Chanute.
