What's the outlook for safety improvements at this U.S. 54 intersection outside Wichita?
At 9:19 a.m. on Oct. 27, a Goddard resident sent a text expressing concerns about the intersection of U.S. 54 and 215th Street West. Before that morning was over, 68-year-old Wichita resident Bradley Alan Voran would be pronounced dead after being involved in a two-vehicle accident at that very intersection, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol report. Residential and commercial growth have led to increased safety concerns in recent years. “The city of Goddard shares concerns regarding the safety of the 215th and U.S. 54 intersection and others such as the 199th and U.S. 54 intersection,” said Goddard City Manager Craig Crossette, in an email to The Eagle. Development of the new Trail’s End subdivision , southeast of the 215th Street West and U.S. 54 intersection, has added vehicle and school bus traffic to the area. And more homes are still being built. Additionally, PrairieLand Partners recently confirmed that it has purchased 26.2 acres near that intersection to build a John Deere dealership , where customers will go to service or purchase tractors, combines, sprayers and applicator equipment, planters, seeders, excavators, backhoes and loaders, among other things. That intersection is also home to a Dillons Distribution Center, which has hundreds

State sues developers of Derby Shores project because ‘it has not been built'
Journalists have asked a lot of questions about the numerous false starts and delays at Derby Shores — part of a state-financed STAR bond district — and now the Kansas Department of Commerce wants answers. “More than four years after the project was approved and bonds were sold, it has not been built,” the state said in a lawsuit filed this month in Sedgwick County District Court . “Announced opening dates have come and gone.” The suit is against Derby Destination Development , a team consisting of Dave Murfin, Rick Worner and Rodney Steven II. Security Bank of Kansas City , the trustee on the project, and the city of Derby also are named. “It is going to take action by the developer to move things forward,” said Derby city manager Kiel Mangus. None of the developers returned calls for comment on Wednesday. A Commerce spokesman said no one was available to comment Wednesday, and neither of the department’s two Morris Laing attorneys returned calls for comment. Mangus said the city is still analyzing what’s in the lawsuit. “We haven’t fully been able to evaluate all the things in the suit, so that’s what we’re going through right now,” he

Grabbing some barbecue from Q’s Your Daddy BBQ in Maize, KS
Earlier this year, Q’s Your Daddy BBQ & Catering opened at 5125 N. Maize Road in the former Nancy’s A-Maize-N Sandwiches space. When I dropped by, it was over Sunday brunch and I wasn’t able to get my hands on the BBQ so I had to make a return visit.

Wichita-based restaurant was set to open in Derby on Monday, but there's a delay
The former Jimmy’s Egg space in Derby is about to get a new tenant. Eduardo Gonzalez, who has three locations of The Easy Egg in Wichita, has taken over the spot at 317 N. Rock Road in Derby, which has been empty since Jimmy’s Egg abruptly closed three area restaurants in September. He’d posted on social media that the restaurant would open on Monday, Nov. 16, but things have changed. Today, he found out that Derby required a permit he did not have — one that Wichita does not require. So he’s having to push opening day back. The opening should still happen next week, though, he said. The Derby restaurant’s hours will be 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. Gonzalez started The Easy Egg at 240 N. Main in Haysville in 2019. Two years later, he moved the restaurant to Wichita, saying he wasn’t busy enough during the week in Haysville. His first Wichita restaurant opened in the former Denny’s building on West Kellogg in August 2021. In February 2024, he opened one at 3130 N. Rock Road then added one at 3520 N. Maize Road. He’s also adding a restaurant at 244 S. Santa Fe in Salina. It’s
