Junction City officials want to extend the new sidewalk that will run west along K-18 Highway to Spring Valley Road.

The City’s Public Works Director Ray Ibarra explained they want to extend the sidewalk farther west to the new high school which will be built on the west side of the city and on the north side of K-18. They looking at trying to obtain a KDOT transportation alternative grant for this project. “That’s what they handle, is the sidewalks, those type of things. We’re looking to put in for the grant for KDOT. That ( application ) is due September 10th, so we’ll be looking to do that. That would be out for 2020.”
