Public workshops scheduled for Fourth Street project-

Design consultants working with the City of Leavenworth and the Kansas Department of Transportation are holding public workshops to discuss a project to reconstruct a portion of Fourth Street/Kansas Highway 7. These workshops will provide an opportunity for businesses and residents to provide input and work together on options and concepts for the street. This City and State partnership is an infrastructure improvement project encompassing the roadway, functionality, safety, traffic and appearance of this key downtown corridor, which also functions as a state highway. Discussion of the City’s designated truck route is solely a local determination outside the scope of this specific project. The City and our consultants are looking for solutions to improve the road and its navigability. These workshops will take place:

11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 25 at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S. Esplanade St.
4:30 - 5:30 p.m. Tuesday Jan. 25 at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S. Esplanade St.
5 – 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 26 at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S. Esplanade St.

The team will hold an open house that displays the preliminary results of the workshops:

5 – 7 p.m. Thursday Jan. 27 at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S. Esplanade St. This open house will include a short presentation at 5:30 p.m. followed by informal conversations.
