The City of Garden City is celebrating progress on several long-term projects. There were three ribbon-cutting ceremonies on Tuesday. Kansas Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed, Garden City Mayor Deb Oyler, and other community leaders participated. The first ribbon-cutting ceremony was at the new traffic signal at Kansas Highway 156 and Jennie Barker/Mary Street. The busy intersection previously had stop signs. Reed said KDOT doesn’t usually hold ribbon-cutting ceremonies for traffic signals. “But this is a particularly important one, as it really marries the growth in the city system along with traffic on our state system,” he said. “We’re making investments in your community to help continue to grow Garden City and southwest Kansas.” The next ribbon cutting was at the 8th Street Public Art Project, in front of The Arch/El Arco.
