KTA maps capital projects across roads and bridges
KTA outlines a long term plan with joint funding from the state and local governments. The agency has covered 39 percent of a 93 million dollar cost and expects completion weeks earlier for about six million less than projected. Several projects depend on turnpike revenues and traffic needs. Certain actions include replacing Kansas River bridges by 2010 and southern turnpike improvements this year and next. The plan also relocates the Topeka service area and adds east and westbound lanes between Topeka and Lecompton.

Commuting Residents Stir Lawrence Tax Debate
Lawrence residents who commute face a shifted tax base as fewer businesses cover municipal costs. Local officials warn bedroom communities risk losing identity, though Lawrence maintains its autonomy. KU graduates Bailey and Swenson weigh in on work life, identity, and time spent commuting. A Douglas County telephone survey from April shows a 3.1 percent margin of error.
