ITEM:
Acceptance of the KDOT grant for improvements to the Broadway/Hageman Intersection.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2004, the City of Salina submitted an application to the Kansas Department of
Transportation (KDOT) for federal-aid STP (HES) safety funding for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 for
three intersections that had high crash volumes and severity ratings either at the intersections or
near proximity to the intersections. These funds are offered 900/0 federal/100/0 city split in funding for
construction and construction engineering only. The intersections in the application for funding were
Ninth Street/Cloud Street, Broadway Boulevard/Hageman Avenue, and 1-135 Ramps with Crawford
Street. In April, 2005, city staff received a letter from the KDOT indicating that one of the three
locations was selected for the safety funding of up to $500,000 for the construction of geometric
improvements to the Broadway/Hageman Intersection.
The attached letter from KDOT outlines the project scope that would be eligible for grant funds. The
only portion of the requested project that would not be eligible for grant funds would be the removal
of the existing pedestrian walkway over Broadway Boulevard, and the City of Salina would be
responsible for 1000/0 of the costs associated with its removal.
FISCAL NOTE:
The City of Salina would be responsible for all design engineering costs, necessary utility
relocations, and property acquisition costs as well as all construction and construction engineering
costs exceeding $500,000. Staff is also requesting permission to solicit traffic engineering design
consultants for the survey and design of the intersection improvements to meet the KDOT
requirements and schedule. The engineering design contract will be presented for city commission
approval at a later date.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
. Accept the KDOT (90/10) grant for up to $500,000 for the Broadway/Hageman Intersection
improvements.
. Authorize staff to hire a design consultant for survey and design of the Broadway/Hageman
intersection improvements.

PRIORITY NUMBER 2
INTERSECTION OF BROADWAY BOULEVARD AND HAGEMAN AVENUE
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Broadway Boulevard is a major arterial. At the intersection with Hageman Avenue, there is an average daily entering
volume of 6,100 vehicles from the northwest and 4,800 vehicles from the southeast. Broadway Boulevard is a four lane
divided road with a center raised median. There are separate left turn lanes at the intersection with Hageman Avenue.
Hageman Avenue is a two lane local street. At the intersection with Broadway Bou'evard, the average daily entering
volume from the south is 1,700 vehicles and the average daily entering volume from the north is 550 vehicles.
The existing traffic control consists of a two-way stop with Broadway Boulevard as the uncontrolled street. The two streets
are skewed at a forty-five degree angle. Hageman Avenue runs directly north and south. Broadway Boulevard runs
northwest and southeast.
There is an existing pedestrian bridge which crosses the southeast leg of Broadway.
EXISTING PROBLEMS
1) This intersection suffers from sight distance problems. The skew angle of the streets causes drivers on Hageman
Avenue difficulty in seeing an approaching vehicle on Broadway Boulevard. The existing pedestrian bridge also
creates a sijght obstruction which can not be easily moved. The combination of factors causes numerous right-angle
collisions.
PROPOSED POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
1 ) The intersection is approximately 600' southeast of an existing signalized intersection at Cloud Street and Broadway
Boulevard. Due to the close vicinity, Broadway Boulevard and Hageman Avenue should not be signalized. Geometric
changes are the only real possibility.
2) Build a raised median and prohibit left turns in all directions.
3) Create a cul-de-sac on either one or both legs of Hageman Avenue and eliminate access to Broadway Boulevard all
together.
4) Remove the existing pedestrian bridge over the south leg of Broadway Boulevard.
5) Redesign the intersection geometry so that the south leg of Hageman Avenue intersects with Broadway Boulevard at a
right angle.
REQUESTED IMPROVEMENTS
1 ) Close the north leg of Hageman Avenue and create a cul-de-sac.
2) Remove the existing pedestrian bridge over Broadway Boulevard.
3) Adjust the horizontal geometry of the south leg of Hageman Avenue so it intersects at a right angle with Broadway
Boulevard. Move the median break on Broadway Boulevard to correspond with the new alignment.
