HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After an hour and a half of study session discussion Tuesday, the Hutchinson City Council will be waiting until next month to consider whether or not to commission a larger study on the 30th and Lucille intersection.
The decision will likely be on the council's April 4 agenda. There are a couple of study options.
"One of them is just to do the cost estimate including removing the temporary, a construction cost estimate and the maintenance costs," said Jeff Schenk with Engineering. "That's $6400. That is just going to develop a cost. Now, if you want to actually do a full intersection analysis, what they did is just a warrant analysis on a signal, but to see what the best thing to do for that intersection is, evaluating every means, that study would be $16,000."
City Manager Kendal Francis initially suggested that the question of the study's scope be on the next agenda later this month, but new council member Stacy Goss said she wanted more time to think about it and that she knew that meeting would be busy anyway with looking at ARPA grant applications.
