After public outcry, Wichita rethinking site for new police station

Facing opposition from neighbors near Cypress Park, Wichita City Hall is looking to find a different location for a new east-side police station, city officials said. The city had planned last year to build the new station on about 4 acres of parkland next to the site of the undersized and outdated Patrol East station at the corner of Edgemoor and Lexington, just north of Kellogg. But the $7 million plan stalled out at the Planning Commission amid opposition from surrounding residents who complained that it would take up too much parkland and devalue their homes.
