As traffic is expected to increase in growing parts of western Johnson County, the Kansas Department of Transportation is looking to alleviate congestion in residential areas spilling off Kansas Highway 10. New neighborhoods and the Panasonic plant coming soon to De Soto have increased Johnson County’s residential and commercial activity further west, and KDOT has started looking for solutions to address that growth. Now that the idea of adding express toll lanes on K-10 are off the table, KDOT is exploring alternatives for two major north-south corridors passing through Lenexa and Olathe.
