The forum will focus on a Transportation Engineering and Planning (TEAP) Study examining traffic conditions at the intersection, including traffic analysis, data collection, and crash data. The study is intended to evaluate safety and traffic flow concerns and gather public input.

The come-and-go event is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 4, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Moundridge Public Library, located at 411 N. Christian Ave. in Moundridge.

According to organizers, residents are encouraged to stop by, ask questions, and share concerns related to the intersection. No formal presentation is planned, allowing attendees to come and go at their convenience.

The study is being conducted by Kirkham Michael in coordination with McPherson County. Representatives from both organizations will be available to discuss the project and answer questions.

The forum is open to the public, and all community members are welcome to attend.
