Shawnee County maintains 60 miles of trails, with 31.64 miles being paved, said Mike McLaughlin, communications and public information supervisor for Shawnee County Parks and Recreation. While the county's trails are used mostly for recreation, they're increasingly becoming a transportation network in recent years, due largely to the creation of extensions that connect them with each other, said parks and recreation director Tim Laurent.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in an appearance Thursday emphasized the importance of getting inflation down now before the public gets too used to higher prices and comes to expect them as the norm. In his latest comments underlining his commitment to the inflation fight, Powell said expectations play an important role and were critical to why inflation was so persistent in the 1970s and '80s. "History cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy," the central bank leader said in a Q&A presented by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank based in Washington, D.C. "I can assure you that my colleagues and [...]

When bridge inspections were first mandated by Congress over 50 years ago, 72% of the Jefferson County bridges were found to be incapable of carrying the legal weight limit. That is 129 of the county’s 180 bridges. Five of those bridges were closed immediately and low-weight limits were placed on the others. The disruption to the traffic flow on the county’s 900 miles of roads was tremendous. Marketing grain and livestock was a problem in an agricultural county as well as school buses and mail routes had to be rerouted and emergency vehicles, including fire trucks, could not cross many of [...]

Last summer, a utility worker stumbled across a well — one of thousands of abandoned, unplugged oil and gas wells scattered across Kansas — just 15 feet from a stream in La Cygne, an hour south of Kansas City. Such sites bear witness to the state’s history of fossil fuel production — and they can leak pollutants into the air and water generations after they’ve been forgotten. Tens of millions of federal tax dollars will help the state seal thousands of openings over the next several years, though many will remain unaddressed. Old wells in Kansas can date back to the [...]

The new study will serve as the current housing needs analysis for Derby. Like the previous analysis done based off the 2017 census, the new housing study indicates that Derby still has a shortage of affordable housing. [...]
