Final round of ARC95 Study meetings scheduled

The third and final round of public meetings for the Arkansas River Crossing – 95 th Street South (ARC95) Study have been scheduled in Derby and Haysville. The long-range transportation study looks at the needs and feasibility of improving the 95 th Street corridor in southern Sedgwick County.

The public is invited to attend the meetings, where details of the study will be discussed:

Thursday, May 11, 2017
5:00 - 6:30 p.m.
Derby Public Library
1600 E Walnut Grove, Derby, KS 67037

Tuesday, May 16, 2017
5:00 - 6:30 p.m.
Haysville Community Library
210 S Hays, Haysville, KS 67060

More than 200 people have attended meetings or posted comments or questions online since the study began in early 2016. Among the considerations were phasing of the project over the next 20 to 40 years based on residential and commercial developments, traffic patterns, rail crossings and potential costs. Findings and recommendations will be offered at the meetings.

The open house format will allow participants to view maps, and ask questions. A final report will be presented to the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization and Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners in the next couple of months.
