This area is beginning to urbanize, leading to an increase in highway traffic. KDOT, MARC, Leavenworth County, Basehor, and Tonganoxie want to work together in planning for the future of the corridor through preserving mobility, promoting safety, and providing reasonable access to support future development. The study will focus on integrating current and future land use and transportation demands. MARC contact: Darryl Fields
