KDOT to host Local Consult in Garden City Oct. 4

Meeting will focus on transportation priorities in Southwest Kansas

 

The Kansas Department of Transportation is hosting nine meetings in October as part of the Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program (IKE) Local Consult process. KDOT holds Local Consult meetings every two years to discuss regional transportation project priorities with Kansans.

The southwest region meeting will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 4, from 9 a.m. – noon, at the Clarion Inn in Garden City. This meeting will focus on transportation in southwest Kansas (KDOT District 6).

 

 

Those who attend will have an opportunity to share their region’s transportation priorities, hear about more transportation investments, and learn about various grant funding programs available through KDOT. The meeting is open to the public.This event in southwest Kansas is part of the series of meetings being held across the state and is an important step in collecting public input for the IKE program – the state’s current 10-year transportation improvement program.

Virtual Meeting – Tuesday, Oct. 24, 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.  Those unable to attend an in-person meeting may attend a virtual meeting on Zoom. Please register here  https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMvf-uppjMsHdaOpjIXnRlJQV-xQrcEpb1A
