Trafficway project stalls amid lawsuits and wetlands concerns
The Trafficway project stalled as lawsuits and federal rules hinder crossing the Haskell campus and the Baker wetlands. Kansas DOT funded a $137,000 study of four options including 31st, 35th, 38th streets or no build. The county favors 31st Street as cheaper and less eco-intrusive, with 50 million cost estimates. 35th involves a floodway bridge pushing to over 100 million. 38th faces Corps permits and heavy obstacles. Regents to reconvene in October. Haskell president Martin and backers remain wary yet hopeful for negotiation.
