A new gym is scheduled for construction at Westwood Elementary School in Junction City next summer.

There could possibly be more to that project, but it remains to determined said the Chief Operations Officer for USD 475, David Wild. He addressed traffic flow outside the school. “It’s very congested. Hopefully part of the design of that new gym, which has been scheduled for construction next summer, is to hopefully somehow dovetail traffic off of Eisenhower Drive in order to provide a drop off pick up point that relieves some of that congestion over there.”

Wild did add officials do not know if it will be possible but they are at least going to look at it during design development.

The project received discussion during the Board of Education meeting this week.
