KDOT Plan Divides Support Over Freeway East of 59
Supporters led by Family and Farmers for the Best Freeway argue an eastern alignment is best and warn upgrades to 59 would still require a freeway later. Critics from Franklin Douglas Counties Coalition push for upgrading 59 but concede no clear upgrade plan exists. KDOT cites long term needs and federal funding, while experts note historical patterns favor new routes away from current roads. Joe Miller contact listed as 832-7144 and imiller jworld.com.
