Cities Seek More State Street Funds for Highway Routes
Kansas city lobbyists urged an interim committee to recommend higher state aid for maintaining city streets designated as state or federal highways. They argued the current $1,250 per mile per year per lane lags far behind true costs, averaging about $3,500 per mile. A study from Overland Park suggested 19.8 years to accumulate funds for reconstruction under current aid, while streets typically require replacement every 10 to 12 years.
