There was light attendance at a Flint Hills Transportation Plan Open House in Junction City Thursday at the C. L. Hoover Opera House, but there was limited input on a pair of concerns.

According to Transportation Planner Stephanie Watts there were a couple of concerns about K-18 highway and the Spring Valley Road area on the west side of Junction City. “There were some concerns on the speeds around K-18 out by Spring Valley Road, by the middle school where it goes from 65 down to 40, and two-tenth of a mile later it goes back up and then back down. Watts added, “The intersection of K-18 and Spring Valley Road they kind of have to just cross their fingers, pray and shoot out into traffic to make sure that there’s no one coming over that hill.”

Watts said that is not a ( transportation ) project identified to this point, so it will be taken to their technical officials like engineers and planners. The information will also be relayed to elected officials so they are aware of the concern that has been brought up.
