Advertisement Date: January 12, 2026

The City of Eudora (City) is seeking a qualified consulting firm for planning services under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. Kansas Department of Transportation’s (KDOT) Work Category 161 – Corridor/Area Planning and Studies.

Description

SS4A – Planning & Demonstration Project – 12th Street Improvements is a USDOT-funded effort, grant agreement no. 693JJ32640050, City project no. 260101. Total project budget is $125,000. Stakeholders are the City of Eudora and the Lawrence-Douglas County (L-DC) MPO.

Twelfth Street is a local road that is increasingly being used as a minor collector. Residents of the neighborhoods on the west side of Eudora utilize 12th Street to reach schools, shopping, and K-10 Highway, as well as the neighborhoods on the east side of town. The street is challenging for motorized and non-motorized users, being hilly, narrow, and lacks curb & gutter or sidewalks.

The City partnered with the L-DC MPO, the Cities of Lawrence and Baldwin City, and KDOT to develop a Vision Zero Safety Action Plan (VZSAP). In addition, the City wishes to take a deeper dive with respect to 12th Street with Supplemental Planning and Demonstration activities to determine the best course for future improvements.

The knowledge gained from this project will inform the future implementation plan and an update of the LDC MPO Vision Zero Safety Action Plan.
