Roundabout Price Increases

As plans for the 15th & "A" Roundabout are progressing, the rising cost of materials now indicates the roundabout may cost as much as $1.2 million, up about 50% from original estimates of $800,000. While the City is steadfast in keeping the project a 90-10 split with KDOT, it still means the City's share of the cost will rise from $80,000 to $120,000. Construction is still scheduled to start in 2009.
