Highway 59 Impacts Ottawa Homeowners Near New Freeway
In 1978 Eddie and Nancy Ferguson built their home about 500 feet from a planned four lane freeway with a fly over 300 feet from their front yard. Neighbors Bowens and Cable and Lowe say progress costs, as KDOT finalizes the project, with safety concerns from drivers and loss of homes. Some residents search for positives like pond plans while awaiting state action and potential improvements at a price. For inquiries, contact Ron Kaufman of KDOT.
