The I-435/I-35/K-10 Interchange area is one of the busiest interchanges in the state. We know at times there is a lot of congestion and sometimes traffic is very slow. As part of the interchange study, the study team will review other transportation considerations as one way to address and manage congestion. Please add your thoughts by taking our NEW online survey.

Review the Public Meeting Information
All the materials shown at last night’s public meeting can be found under the resources page. If you weren’t able to attend the meeting you can see what was presented, look at the video simulations or download the fact sheet.
As always, feel free to ask questions or provide your thoughts through the blog or the jocogateway@hntb.com e-mail. We hope to hear from you.
Public Meeting Tonight!
The Public Meeting is scheduled for tonight! We will have information on existing conditions including current traffic volumes, growth projections and crash history. The traffic engineers have also developed future traffic projections to determine what traffic and congestion will look like in 2040. There will be video simulation models and opportunities to talk with the study team about your issues and concerns. We hope that you can make it. All the information from the public meeting will be loaded on the web site by tomorrow afternoon, so if you miss the meeting you can still see the information presented and provide your comments.
Where do you go?
In order for traffic engineers to have a better understanding of how people travel throught this interchange area, a video license plate origin-destination (O-D) study was performed on November 6 and 7, 2008 in the study area. Cameras were set up at each of the study interchanges and data was collected during the peak AM and PM periods. The purpose of the origin–destination study was to better understand existing travel patterns, calibrate the existing traffic simulation model used to analyze existing problems, collect traffic volumes on system to system ramps, help develop a future traffic assignment, and observe high congestion areas.
For more information on how travel patterns influence future improvement come to the May 14 Public Meeting.
