County awaits state road bill
- Continued from p. 1
for taking care of the road or highway.
Two versions of a comprehensive highway program would give money to counties for local projects and repairs. The House approved a program that would give $3 million a county, but the Senate approved only $2 million. A conference committee version would allocate $2.5 million, which would include expenditures for maintenance.
Therefore, Kansas, ranked 32nd in U.S. population, is left with the nation's third-largest highway system.
Frank Hempen, Douglas County public works direc-
said the county's roads generally were in fair to above-average condition. He attributed the good conditions to mild winters and consistent county financing for repair.
"There is really no way for me to compare our roads to other counties." Hempen said. "I'm just concerned with the ones we have here. The Department of Transportation would have a better idea."
The county maintains 215 miles of county roads, 155 of which are paved, Hempen said. Although the roads are in fair condition, several bridges could stand improvements, he said.
This year, Douglas County will rescall 40 to 50 miles of county roads and complete five six miles of surface overgrowth.
Annually, Douglas County spends more than $2 million on road and bridge maintenance paid by gas taxes and a 4.7 mile levy, Hempen said. A mall levy is equal to $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. The county receives $750,000 from gas tax receipts for roads and bridges.
If the county were to receive lower state funds for major projects, Hempen said county commissioners would have to spend more money.
Hempen said that if the highway program were passed, county government would decide if the money would go for capital improvements or routine maintenance. The former will still levy, but would be an issue the commissioners would deal with.
A possible project would be to upgrade three miles of county road 1023 north of Big Springs, he said.
One local project is on the wish list created by KDDT. The Southwest Trafficway, a road that would link I-70 with K-10, has encountered lawsuits concerning the joint issuance of bonds to finance the $30 million project.
Kelly Arnold, assistant city manager, the city had applied for $7.2 million in federal highway funds for the project and $2.5 million from the Kansas Turnpike program, the highway system program, the remaining funds would be sought from KDOT.
"It is tough to say when we will begin the project." Arnold said. "We would like to start in the next two to three."
Progress, although continuous, has been slower than the city had hoped, he said. Recent City Commission elections indicate that the commission would continue its support of the project, he said.
Once legal procedures are completed, the city an- county would resume environmental impact studies before beginning the project. Arnold said. One focus of the study was in ways' his impact on the Baker Wetlands south of Lawrence.
In 1987, Agnes the Frog became a Douglas County Commission candidate to protest the proposed trafficway. Residents feared the project would destroy the habitat of Agnes, a northern crawfish frog.
The rare frogs first were identified in 1978 in DORLAND County and efforts have been made to preserve their existence. A KDOT report in 1987 said that the traffacy way would have minimal effects on the froq population.
Toebeen said that most responsible people would agree that the local, state and federal mitigation has been fair on environmental issues to concerning protection of the species of the wetlands.
"These concerns are being dealt with continually." Arnold said.
Gary Toebben, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce president, said the environmental impact study should be completed this summer. The results should be favorable to truckers of the trafficway and environmentalists, he said.
Pols of the chamber's membership have shown that most also support the comprehensive highway program.
Toeben has testified in support of the highway program on the chamber's behalf before Legislative committees, not because of the trafficway, but for the triggering effects the program would have on the state.
He said increased economic development and the creation of more jobs for Kansas would mean increased revenue for the state, which would be filtered to the federal government. But KU would mean more money for the Lawrence economy.
"The health of Lawrence is dependent on the health of communities throughout the state." Teeben said.
However, the future of the trafficway is not tied to the future of the highway program, he said. It may receive state funding if approved by KDOT, but its completion is not dependent upon it.
Current plans call for a four-lane trafficway. But without state funds, it would be reduced to two lanes. Eventually, the additional two lanes would be constructed, but with increased local or federal funding.
KTA and federal funding of the project have been secured, Toebben said.
Building the trafficway would serve two purposes, Toeben said. First, traffic would be rerouted from Iowa and 23rd streets to relieve traffic flow and decrease congestion.
Secondly, the traffickway would be beneficial to new industry in the East Hills Business Park, East 23rd Street and the Farmer's Co-op Association and Farmland Industries, 1000 East 23rd Heard that with the traffickway, Farmland would not have to drive its fertilize trucks through Lawrence to reach the interstate.

Loss worth the gain, officials say
Chapman said the $350,000 building would be an advancement for KANU.
"We're not asking the FCC and FAA for anything drastically different from what we have now, so I foresee no problems," Chapman said. "The way we have planned it, we will not disrupt our air time."
"We will have a transmitter building that is new, compared to a 35-year-old building," he said.
Student housing also will be losing
an old building, but they will not immediately gain a new one.
Now, student housing has a quaset hut on West Campus, which is used to store f.u., furniture, lumber and other items. The quaset hut is a round tin storage building.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said a new storage building for student housing was scheduled to be constructed between its current shop on 15th Street and the Printing Services.
"There's a chance that the per-forming arts center will get done before our warehouse." Stoner said. "Something we'll have to work around."
He said temporary storage would be used for items in the but until the warehouse was completed.
"I doubt they want my肛 in their front yard," he said. "Everything's not going to be real convenient, but I don't have the time." Performance arts center is going up.
