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

Mold, bugs in liquor, expired medicine & more at Wichita KS restaurants, hotel

Bugs in liquor bottles, mold, flies, expired medicine for sale, leaky sinks, dirty conditions, candy that wasn’t labeled properly, food that wasn’t stored at safe temperatures and more are among violations state inspectors discovered during recent food safety and lodging inspections in the Wichita area. Each week, The Eagle adds to its searchable database of failed inspections from Sedgwick County. Seven restaurants, hotels and other businesses were non-compliant with state regulations Nov. 1-7. Inspectors found few or no violations that week at more than 70 other locations deemed compliant with food safety and lodging rules. Kansas Department of Agriculture inspections are meant to protect the public from foodborne illnesses and other health risks. Locations can fail if they have too many problems, certain types of violations or issues that can’t be fixed right away. Violations are common. Most of the time, they’re corrected in front of an inspector. Examples of things that can be addressed immediately include serving food that’s more than a week old, employees mishandling ingredients and dirty kitchens. Issues that may take longer to correct include pest infestations, power outages and plumbing problems. It’s rare, but a business may be temporarily shut down over violations. Locations that

Two arrested following home invasion, shoot-out in Wichita

Two people have been arrested following a shooting in central Wichita that injured three on Tuesday, according to police. In a news release issued Friday, the Wichita Police Department said a 35-year-old Wichita woman and a 16-year-old boy have been arrested in connection with the shooting, which took place at a home in the 400 block of South Green, near Kellogg and Grove, at around 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Just before 8:15 p.m. that night, officers responded to a shooting at the home, where they found two juvenile males, ages 15 and 16, who live at the residence, and a 24-year-old Wichita man suffering from gunshot wounds. All three were transported to a local hospital. The 24-year-old man remained in critical condition as of Friday, police said. Investigators determined that the 24-year-old man and a separate 16-year-old boy broke into the home through the rear of the residence. An exchange of gunfire occurred between the 24-year-old man and the juveniles who live at the home. The 16-year-old suspect fled the scene following the shooting, though he was arrested a day later and booked into the Sedgwick County Juvenile Detention Facility. Investigators believe the 35-year-old woman, who was arrested Thursday, was

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
