31st Street Project

In 2006 the City was informed of an $800,000 earmark for the construction of 31st Street from Haskell Avenue to O’Connell Road. The earmark does not have any conditions attached; essentially this means the funds can be used for preliminary engineering (design), right-of-way acquisition, and construction. The project will be administered by KDOT. KDOT can "charge" a 1% administration cost, leaving the total amount available at $792,000.

The city submitted a Request for Construction Project on June 15, 2006 to initiate the project. The project does have a schedule with a tentative letting of October 2008; however, we have to have the project complete in ten years so the letting date could be moved.
