| Good grief. The public taking of property for highway improvements is the oldest and most constitutional basis for emminent domain. For years citizens have complained about the condition of Wyatt Earp; these improvements solve those issues. I take it that most of the posters here do not care to see a better highway with safe sidewalks. I would love to find the $100,000 home that holds huge sentimental value along Wyatt Earp Blvd.
Mr. Finley is doing what this city commission (and past commissions) as well as KDOT have asked him to do. If they decide that Wyatt Earp needs no improvement, he would stop immediately.
My opinion is that many property owners in the current phase were paid way too much (in tax money) to have a better highway in front of their businesses. |
