City weighs five points intersection fixes proposed by TranSystems
TranSystems researchers studied the Five Points intersection for two years and outlined problems including long delays, congestion, confusing lane use and missing pedestrian facilities. Curran says conditions are steady with no notable improvement and pedestrians tend to avoid crossing. If a plan is chosen, public input goes to the City Commission, grants from KDOT may cover 75 to 90 percent, and construction could start in 2010 pending state funding.
