The Commission voted to authorize the payment of $272,000 to KDOT on or before October 6th for the city’s share of the project cost.
The project will include improvements in the 800 block of Oregon and the remaining portion of the 500 block of Oregon. The improvements will include new sidewalks, lightning and planters similar to the first two phases of the project.
