Long-term plan suggests toll lanes on K-10 corridor
+1. Their toll tags are VERY similar to our K-Tags; Florida uses a similar setup as well. I've always found it asinine that because we chose to use the K-Tag that we have to make a special lane change, slow down then carry on with our travels.
Our K-Tag should allow us to carry on along the highway unimpeded like those two states mentioned above.

Long-term plan suggests toll lanes on K-10 corridor
What else would they be? Corridors are used to funnel things a certain way...just as roads, streets and highways do.

Long-term plan suggests toll lanes on K-10 corridor
I agree with most of that. The only thing I would add is that they need to get on the six lane part ASAP from K-7 to I-435. I drive this daily with living just south of the K-10/K-7 interchange and that stretch is a nightmare in the morning and evening commutes.
I think I figured out part of the problem this morning. The traffic always seems to thin out at Renner Rd for apparently no reason. However, it seems like it is due to a large chunk of eastbound traffic getting on K-10 at both the Woodland and Ridgeview exits. The Ridgeview on-ramp/merge issue is exacerbated by being just over a hill and most of the on-ramp is tucked behind a rock formation.

Long-term plan suggests toll lanes on K-10 corridor
I swear people can't/don't read. This story was posted on the KMBC facebook page this morning and the comments are similar to here. "OMG! They're taking away the one free option to drive to Lawrence!" "Waah! Think of the poor college students!"
If people would actually READ what is being proposed, they would see that the only toll being talked about for K-10 is their new HOT/HOV lane. And even that would only be for cars with a single occupant.

Isn't much traffic? When do you drive that stretch? 3-4am?

Crews race to find survivors of Oklahoma twister
Looks like the earlier rumors were true and children did die at that elementary school. Sad.

I know they were still looking for missing elementary school students. Hopefully every one of them turn up safe!

Sound Off: License stickers
The new stickers started being given out approx last April so there were individuals who just recently got the new stickers for the first time.

They're not too big. You probably did it like I've seen others do though and place the new sticker BELOW the old month sticker. The new stickers are an all in one sticker and fit in the spot for what used to be for the month and year like this: http://i.imgur.com/fOyXMr8.jpg
