10th and Limit Intersection Reconstruction

The intersection of 10th Street and Limit Street has been identified as a high-crash location and is being reconstructed to improve safety and traffic operations. Planned improvements include the installation of a new traffic signal, upgraded stormwater infrastructure to better manage runoff, and the addition of a dedicated southbound right-turn lane. These improvements are intended to reduce traffic conflicts, improve vehicle movement, and create a safer intersection for all roadway users.

In December 2021, the City learned of a grant opportunity focused on improving safety at high-crash intersections. Using crash data provided by the Police Department, the City identified priority locations and partnered with Merge Midwest Engineering to evaluate safety improvement options for the 10th and Limit Street intersection.

The City submitted a grant application to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and received an offer letter confirming eligibility for up to $1,000,000 in funding. This funding is provided through a 90/10 grant program, which covers 90 percent of construction and construction engineering costs.

The City is responsible for the remaining 10 percent of construction and construction engineering costs, as well as 100 percent of project design, right-of-way acquisition, and any construction costs that exceed the $1 million grant amount. The City selected Merge Midwest Engineering and JEO as the project design team.
