The City of Dodge City announces the launch of a study focusing on three key corridors along the city’s eastern boundary. This study will examine Highways US-283, US-400, and US-56, along with adjacent city and county roads, which are crucial for access to the city’s industrial, commercial, and residential zones and provide important regional links. With traffic volumes increasing over the past decade, the city recognizes the need for a thorough review of these corridors to address existing safety and congestion issues and to prepare for future demands. The study will cover the area from east of Airport Road along US-56/US-283 to the Wyatt Earp Boulevard intersection, then south across the BNSF railroad overpass, ending at the Trail Street/US-400 junction. It also includes parts of Wyatt Earp Boulevard and Trail Street near two traffic signals. The City of Dodge City is inviting the community to engage in this project by participating in a public survey, signing up for project updates, and attending public open house events. The first public open house is scheduled for Thursday, March 21, 2024, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the Santa Fe Depot, located at 101 E. Wyatt Earp Boulevard. Parking is available to the north of Wyatt Earp Boulevard and east of the Santa Fe Depot.
