City to ask KDOT for traffic light

The City of Wellington will ask KDOT once again to survey the intersection of U.S. 160 and Williams Drive (at Walmart) for placement of a traffic light. Around 5,400 cars per day enter and exit Walmart at Williams Drive, causing congestion and safety concerns at the intersection. KDOT has examined the intersection in the past and has cited that it does not warrant traffic signaling. Concerns by Governing Body members as well as a great number of citizens have prompted the request.
