Spring Hill council greenlights 223rd Street planning study, authorizes BUILD grant application
Summary
The council approved Task Order #8 with HDR for grant assistance and authorized staff to apply for a BUILD planning grant and to sign an interlocal agreement with Miami County to study improvements to 223rd Street from Highway 169 to Highway 69, including public engagement and cost estimates.
The Spring Hill City Council on Jan. 8 approved a planning study and grant-seeking work aimed at redesigning the 223rd Street corridor from Highway 169 to Highway 69. Council President Chad Young moved to approve Task Order #8 with HDR to provide grant assistance; Mike Grant seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
City Engineer Alysen Abel presented the draft 223rd Street Corridor Alternatives Analysis and Concept Design technical report and described a proposed interlocal planning study with Miami County. Abel said the study would assess needs across the corridor, produce conceptual designs and cost estimates, and include public engagement to incorporate community input.
The council also authorized the mayor to sign an interlocal agreement with Miami County that will formalize regional participation in the planning study and allow the city to pursue a BUILD planning grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The motion to authorize the mayor to sign the interlocal agreement was moved by Chad Young, seconded by Kristin Feeback and passed unanimously.
The study and the grant application are intended to develop project alternatives and cost estimates for future design and construction phases; the minutes indicate staff will pursue funding through the Kansas Infrastructure Hub and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s BUILD program. No specific project budget or local match amount is listed in the minutes.
