Iola will host a public meeting to discuss the Kansas Department of Transportation’s Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program (IKE).
The series of nine public meetings is part of the Local Consult process. KDOT holds Local Consult meetings every two years to discuss regional transportation project priorities with Kansans.
A meeting for the Southeast Region (District 4) will be at 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct, 12, at the Bowlus FIne Arts Center in Iola.
Attendees will have an opportunity to share their region’s transportation priorities, hear about investments being made in transportation in their area, and learn about various grant funding programs available through KDOT.
The meetings are open to all Kansans and will gather public input for the IKE program, the state’s current 10-year transportation improvement program.
In advance of the Local Consult meetings, KDOT has launched a short survey asking for input on the Kansas transportation system.
The survey will be available online through September 22 at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KDOTLC2023.
Other meetings will be held throughout October in each of the districts, the Kansas City and WIchita metro areas, and a virtual meeting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 24.
