Want faster, less-congested trips along U.S. Highway 69? What’s it worth to you? That’s the issue the Overland Park City Council will take up at its Monday meeting, when it will hear results of a study considering adding an express toll lane on the heavily traveled highway. The Kansas Department of Transportation has studied the issue and will lay out its findings and assumptions. The City Council will listen Monday and take up the issue of whether to push ahead for a toll plan at its June 21 meeting. The 69 Express study looked at adding a third lane in each direction on the highway between 103rd Street and 179th Street. The existing two lanes in each direction would remain toll-free.
