In July 2019, local businessman and longtime Topekan Kent Lammers sent a letter to Topeka’s mayor and city council asking whether improvements were being planned for the southernmost stretch of S.W. Topeka Boulevard. “With several new and exciting attractions, such as the Heartland Stampede and the downtown Evergy Plaza, is there a plan to address the condition of the South Topeka Boulevard corridor?” he wrote. “As a main gateway to Topeka from Forbes and a major thoroughfare to and from Heartland Park and downtown, the first impression of Topeka when arriving from the south is not good.”
