On Monday, the day that Dodge City was celebrating its 150th anniversary, city leaders were also looking to the future as the Dodge City Commission unanimously approved the Downtown Streetscape Project. The project’s goal is to revitalize the historic downtown area. The $13.9 million effort is expected to start this fall and take about two-and-a-half years to complete. Designers kept in mind that the town has a rich Old West history. The focal point of the project is a western-inspired plaza at Second Avenue and Front Street that will serve as a gathering space. A plaza street with improved traffic control for community events will be created on Second Avenue from Front Street to Gunsmoke Street.
