An open house to discuss the future for a 22-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 56 is being taken to a school in Baldwin City, to ensure plenty of room for attendees.

Representatives from the Kansas Department of Transportation and its project partners will be available to discuss draft recommendations in the U.S. 56 Corridor Management Plan from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday at the Baldwin Elementary School-Intermediate Center Commons Area, 100 Bullpup Drive in Baldwin City.

Thursday’s event originally had been scheduled for the American Legion Hall in Baldwin City, but organizers opted for a larger space to handle exhibits, documents and visitors.

The draft recommendations envision more lanes for the highway on both sides of Baldwin City. Other possibilities include reconfigured intersections and potential access limitations.
