Sedgwick County updates KDOT traffic-signal maintenance agreement covering 13 intersections

The commission reviewed consent item D, described as an updated, ongoing agreement with the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) that identifies 13 traffic-signal locations and who maintains them.

A commissioner said the backup documentation (page 8) lists the intersections covered. Lynn, who had been invited to expound on the matter, said, "KDOT has several signals that are maintained by, City Wichita or Sedgwick County, and this is an updated list." When asked about costs, Lynn said the county "usually we charge about $8,500 a year for each intersection," and added that KDOT pays for any major component replacements while routine work may be performed by county staff or contractors.

The exchange was presented as routine consent business; commissioners did not flag the item for separate discussion during the meeting.
