Peterson Road & Monterey Way Improvements

Lawrence, Kansas

Landplan Engineering was retained in 2002 by the City of Lawrence to design improvements to Monterey Way and Peterson Road to bring them to collector- and arterial-level standards respectively in anticipation of extensive adjacent single-family development. This project consisted of over 1.5 miles of roadway with two intersections. Peterson Road was improved to a 3-lane section with a recreation path on one side and sidewalk on the other. Monterey Way, originally gravel and ending at Peterson Road, is now a 2-lane section with bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides. The intersection at Kasold Drive and Peterson Road is a standard signalized intersection with turn lanes, and the intersection of Monterey Way and Peterson Road is a single-lane roundabout, designed to KDOT standards. The design also improved several sight distance and vertical alignment concerns. Additional improvements included waterline extensions and storm sewer improvement with two box culverts and a pedestrian bridge.
