Four four lane corridors Fulton Street Mary Street Campus Drive and Jennie Barker Road could become three lane roads with a center turn lane to reduce crashes and weaving. Peak hours are below 500 vehicles per hour and bicycle lanes, speed limits, and truck traffic breakdown questions remain.

Democrats outline 2016 session goals with focus on education
Democratic legislators unveiled goals for the 2016 session emphasizing education transparency and public safety while seeking to attract jobs and retain teachers. Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley proposed cutting the state sales tax on food, with Rep. Mark Hutton introducing a House bill to reduce the rate. The caucus, a minority in both chambers, aims to work with moderates amid partisan control and debates over a new school funding formula and court-ordered school funding. The group also calls for transparency reforms following a Brownback administration email controversy and opposes 2012 tax cuts as they push for policy changes.
