Commissioners review updated KDOT signal-maintenance agreement for 13 intersections

Commissioners discussed a routine consent item: an updated, ongoing agreement with the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) that lists the traffic signals maintained by Sedgwick County or the City of Wichita. The updated list covers 13 intersections identified on supporting materials.

"This deals with 13 traffic signals, and the backup page 8 has the intersections listed," the commissioner who introduced the item said. Lynn, county staff, clarified these are existing signals, not new installations, and explained the usual cost-sharing: "We charge about $8,500 a year for each intersection. Plus, any major components they pay for, and we'll either have a contractor or ourselves interested," Lynn said. The transcript did not include a vote on the agreement; it was presented as a routine consent item with staff available to answer follow-up questions.
