A special committee formed to address discord between RCPD and the Aggieville Business Association met earlier this month, but at September’s meeting of the Riley County Law Enforcement Agency Board, tensions ran high as no understanding was reached between the two sides.

Board member Craig Beardsley volunteered last month to form a small committee and serve as a representative of the board alongside members of the Riley County Police Department and the Aggieville Business Association.

The Kansas Highway Patrol is reminding motorists to slow down as they make their way to K-State football games this fall.

According to Trooper Ben Gardner with Troop C, one driver was clocked traveling 112 mph in a 75 mph zone over the weekend on Interstate 70 in Geary County. That’s 37 miles over the speed limit and a ticket of $408.

Gardner says with another K-State home game this weekend, it’s more important to arrive safely than rushing to the game.

In Geary County, traffic on I-70 is reduced to one lane in both directions head-to-head between exit 297 and mile marker 300, for an ongoing pavement replacement project. In addition, the two new roundabouts being installed on US 24 at the K-13 and K-113 intersections will impact gameday traffic from the north throughout the season, while construction on Anderson Avenue will impact traffic in town both to and from the games.
