Initial Comments from February through March 2021

Thank you for your comments and participation on the K-383 Almena to Long Island corridor study! 

​

The project website had more than 800 individuals visit the site, providing 120 comments to help KDOT understand the issues and support for the project.  Key themes of feedback include:

​

• Broad support for Alternatives 2 and 3;

• Corridor safety should be improved;

• Narrow shoulders should be widened;

• Heavy truck traffic influences safety;

• The alternatives can impact adjacent land owners; and

• There should be a balance between corridor investment cost and improvements to be made.

 

KDOT is working to understand the trade-offs (benefits and impacts) and costs of the two broadly supported alternatives.  The comments received and the understanding of trade-offs will help to define the improvement strategy for the corridor.  A summary of the comments is posted below.  KDOT will continue to use the website to provide project updates and distribute information as the project progresses.
