Council approves sidewalk modifications, discusses KDOT recommendation to widen Maple-Delaware intersection
Oct 9, 2025
Council approved $6,800 in sidewalk plan modifications including squaring a south-side corner and enclosing a fire hydrant; Mayor Sam Vail reported KDOT recommended widening the Maple and Delaware intersection from 24' to 30' and using poly culvert at about $32/ft (rough estimate ~$1,000) before further action.

Mayor Sam Vail asked staff to obtain bids to replace the gutter above the office and reported he met with the Kansas Department of Transportation about widening the intersection at Maple and Delaware. KDOT told him the intersection is currently 24' and would need to widen to 30'; they recommended a poly culvert rather than concrete at about $32 per foot, which would put preliminary pipe costs near $1,000 depending on length and installation.
