Venue owners urge lower speed on Highway 24 near Clay County venue; county to request KDOT study
Summary
Jim and Arlyss Vathauer asked the Board to lower the speed limit on Highway 24 in front of their venue, saying drivers are passing in a no-passing zone and creating danger; the Board noted the road is KDOT-owned and suggested requesting a state study.
Jim and Arlyss Vathauer told the Board the speed limit on Highway 24 in front of their catering venue needs to be lowered because drivers leaving town 'are picking up speed' and people are passing in a no-passing zone while others turn into the housing addition or the Vathauers' driveway.
The Board noted that Highway 24 is owned and controlled by the Kansas Department of Transportation, so a speed-limit change would require KDOT action; Highway Administrator Bobby Shomper suggested the Vathauers could ask the State to conduct a study of the area.
