County agrees to pay for half of traffic signal
The Leavenworth County government will pay only half of the cost of installing a traffic signal at 20th Street and Eisenhower Road. County commissioners made that decision when they met Wednesday. The decision came as commissioners approved a construction bid for improvements to a section of the Eisenhower Road project. The traffic light had been requested as part of the project. The decision to pay for only half of the cost of the traffic signal places the burden of paying the remaining cost on either the city of Leavenworth and Lansing or both cities.

‘Our community needs this’ — Lenexa names winners in citywide Halloween decoration contest
Skeletons, ghosts, spooky animatronics and a haunted maze in the backyard all made the Leichter home the Best in Show for Lenexa’s Fall-O-Ween Yard Tour competition this month.

Which came first, the dinosaurs or the STAR bond district?
Much like the classic chicken and egg paradox, Derby’s STAR bond district and Field Station: Dinosaurs are inextricably linked, with each playing a role in the others origin – but which came first? According to Developer Rick Worner, with National Realty Advisors, the seeds for the dinosaur park were planted first. Worner, who worked on the first STAR bond project in Kansas (the speedway on the edge of Kansas City), was working on another project in Wichita near K-96 and Greenwich. He had a number of other ideas and was looking for a family-friendly city to cultivate some of them. During a meeting with Steve Barrett of JP Weigand, Worner mentioned that informal search and Barrett was quick to recommend a nearby location – Derby.

Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office partnering with Ring security
The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with home security company Ring “in an effort to make the community safer,” the Sheriff’s Office announced last week. Ring devices sometimes capture video footage of suspicious activity or a criminal in the act, whether that be a theft or another form of crime. Ring owners will now have the ability to share these videos with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office through the Neighbors app, which can be downloaded for free on Apple’s App Store or the Google Play app store. The Sheriff’s Office will function as a public safety user on the Neighbors app. That means it can post information about crime and safety alerts, view and comment on public posts within its jurisdiction, and use the video request feature to ask Ring to request recorded video footage from Ring device owners who are in the area of an active investigation.

Johnson County health officials urge school districts to cancel indoor winter sports
Health officials in Johnson County are urging school districts not to allow indoor winter sports, such as basketball and wrestling, where COVID-19 mitigation techniques aren’t possible. In a letter sent to superintendents throughout the county, Health Department Director Dr. Sanmi Areola said there are risks associated with indoor sports due to the level of community transmission of the virus. “While school districts permitted athletics and activities during the summer and fall months, many were outdoor sports that allowed for some safeguards to minimize the risk of widespread transmissions,” Dr. Areola said.

Boeing’s 737 MAX plan gets murkier for Wichita
Even with the plane nearing its long-awaited return, what comes next for the 737 MAX and Wichita got more uncertain with new delivery plans revealed Wednesday by the Boeing Co. While Boeing (NYSE: BA) maintained its production plan of increasing to 31 per month on the MAX by early 2022, the company also added a year — now through the end of 2022 — to the amount of time it expects will be needed to delivery the aircraft it already has in storage. And, in prioritizing delivery of the completed jets, Boeing CEO David Calhoun said it will be new production that feels the pinch if either side of that equation needs changed.

Lawrence whole-home Airbnbs now subject to new rules, possible fines up to $2,500
The city’s new prohibitions on many Airbnbs and other short-term rentals where the operator doesn’t also live in the home are now in effect, and those who continue to operate such rentals could soon be fined up to $2,500. Earlier this month, the Lawrence City Commission voted 4-1 to prohibit non-owner-occupied short-term rentals in neighborhoods that are zoned for single-family homes, allowing them only in residential areas zoned as multi-family and in specific types of properties. Those new regulations went into effect over the weekend, and the city will soon start enforcing them.

Governor, top lawmakers agree: No Kansas mask rule for now
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and top Republican legislators agreed Tuesday to try for now to encourage Kansas counties to adopt local mask mandates rather than consider a statewide rule as the state experiences its biggest surge in new coronavirus cases of the pandemic. Kelly had a private Zoom meeting with eight leaders of the GOP-controlled Legislature, six of them Republicans, and participants said afterward that they discussed encouraging greater mask use. The state health department reported Monday that the state’s rolling seven-day average for new cases set a record of 815 a day for the seven days ending Monday. Kelly issued a statewide mask mandate July 2, but a state law enacted only the month before allowed the state’s 105 counties to opt out, and most did. The Democratic governor said last week that she wanted to work with top Republican lawmakers on a bipartisan mandate to require people to wear masks in public.

Wichita plastic bag ban study searches for more female and minority voices
A survey, which will influence city decision-making with the future of single-use plastic bags, needs to hear from more women and minorities over whether plastic bags should be banned. Currently the survey is not representative of Wichita’s population, heavily skewing towards perspectives that are male and white. Developed by Wichita’s Single-Use Plastic Bag Taskforce and researchers from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Wichita, the survey is being conducted to gauge citizens’ interest in either reducing plastic bag use or banning single-use plastic bags altogether. The survey asked demographic questions to see if they were representative of Wichita’s demographic. Currently, the survey is not, said Dr. Elizabeth Ablah, professor at the KU School of Medicine in Wichita.

Cost to add new train crossing signal horns in Old Town Lenexa now tops $500,000
A plan to install signal horns at two railroad crossings in Old Town Lenexa will cost substantially more than anticipated. The Lenexa City Council earlier this month unanimously approved an increase of $190,000 to the original price tag of $350,000 to install the signals, known as wayside horns, at the crossings at Noland and Pflumm Roads, in order to warn motorists of oncoming trains. That makes the total cost of the project now roughly $540,000. Last month, BNSF Railway reported to city staff that it needs to replace aging equipment at the two crossings. The company had intended to replace much of its equipment but told the city it could not obtain materials necessary for those upgrades because of the age of the existing system.

Leawood residents concerned green space could be lost with development at 86th and State Line
A proposed mixed-use project at 86th Street and State Line Road in Leawood has some nearby homeowners expressing concerns about the possible loss of green space the project could entail. The project, at 8680 State Line, would include 189 apartments, 66,900 square feet of office space and 32,250 square feet of retail space, on what is now a parking lot, the developer said in a notice sent to nearby homeowners. The site is zoned for planned office; single family, low-density residential; and mixed use, and it would require rezoning. The developer, Doug Weltner with State Line 87 LLC and executive vice president of Colliers International’s Kansas City office, did not return phone calls seeking comment on the project.

Prairie Village diversity task force discusses steps to remove the city’s racist deed restrictions
The city of Prairie Village’s diversity task force Tuesday evening met for the second time to continue its brainstorming session from September, including discussions about erasing racially discriminatory deed restrictions and implicit bias within the police department. Following the September meeting, Mikkelson said he’d received feedback — overwhelmingly positive and constructive feedback, that is — and addressed three “good faith suggestions:” the amount of white people on the task force, the fact that it’s being led by a straight, white male and the balance of being action-oriented and listening to the community. Mayor Eric Mikkelson spearheaded the diversity task force, which is charged with developing recommendations to the city council on ways to diversify Prairie Village — specifically to racially diversify the city at this time, though it does include diversification of sexual orientations and socio-economic incomes, as well.

Officials set to face off over masks as Kansas cases rise
Kansas’ coronavirus case count continued to climb, even as one GOP lawmaker pushed back against Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s call for a statewide mask mandate. “I’ve stated all along, and still believe, a one-size-fits-all COVID solution doesn’t work for our diverse state,” Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, said Thursday in a written statement. “Local leaders have done a great job in dictating local responses after public hearings and discussions with their constituents.” More than 90 of the state’s 105 counties have opted out of the current mask order. That’s why Kelly said Wednesday that she plans to speak with House and Senate leadership to work toward a bipartisan mask requirement with more teeth.

Why Wichita says new electric buses are better than their diesel predecessors
Wichita transit added seven new electric buses this month in the next step of its plan to eventually electrify the entire fleet. With 11 buses, Wichita currently has the largest electric transit offering in Kansas. The buses, which cost more than their diesel counterparts, were paid for by two federal grants. Still, each bus is expected to save the city $462,000 over its lifetime — at least 12 years — as electric buses cost about 50% less to run than the diesel buses, according to Mike Tann, city transit director.
