Topeka, KS, October 22, 2026 —
Shawnee County is holding a public open house about the Auburn Road Regional Transportation Study, where potential new road infrastructure and interchange improvements will be discussed. The event is set to take place at Washburn Rural North Middle School in Topeka.
The summary of the study does not specify which road changes or interchange improvements are under consideration. It also does not provide the open house date or time, explain how the study will proceed, or identify a project schedule, cost estimate or funding source. No decision to build new infrastructure is reported.
The gathering is described as a public open house, but the information provided does not outline its format or say whether attendees will be able to submit comments. It does not identify specific county officials, transportation agencies or consultants involved in the study, and no statements from organizers or members of the public were provided.
The available details establish the subject and location of the event, but leave the study’s proposals and next steps unclear. As a result, the open house is the only identified opportunity in the summary for the public to learn about the study; no further events or milestones are specified.
Further information about the options being considered, the study’s timeline and any process for public input was not included in the summary.
