The traffic signal at North 3rd (US 40/59) and the Kansas Turnpike (I-70) in North Lawrence has received a facelift. The left turn signal has been changed from a five-aspect "doghouse" signal to a flashing yellow arrow. 28 April 2012
One of the approach signs for the I-70/Kansas Turnpike Bonner Springs exit got damaged and had to be replaced. The replacement sign uses the Clearview typeface, and the K-7 shield is the 20-petal variant generally used only by the KTA. 22 December 2012
