Kansas Avenue widening to start in spring
Kansas officials plan a spring start on the Kansas Avenue widening from Main Street to the First United Methodist Church. The project costs about 1.6 to 1.7 million dollars, with 850 thousand funded by the state Geometric Improvement program and the city covering the rest through bonds. One house along the route may be relocated or demolished, while 11 other properties have already received right of way compensation totaling 55,039 dollars. Traffic will be limited to one lane in each direction during construction.
