US-24 and Topeka Boulevard Survey - Be Heard!
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and the City of Topeka have selected ETC Institute of Olathe, Kansas to conduct a statistically valid survey to help the agency better understand the public's preferred option for the US-24 & Topeka Boulevard project. The first phase of the survey, which consisted of randomly selected businesses and residents, has concluded, and the second phase, which is open to all members of the public, is now underway.
To participate in the survey, please visit www.US24TopekaSurvey.org. The results of both phases of the survey will be utilized by KDOT and the City of Topeka in determining the final preferred alternative for the US-24 & Topeka Boulevard project.
Thank you for your input!
