| 摘要： | The construction of highway bypasses in Kansas has resulted in important economic benefits. Perhaps the most significant benefit is the travel time savings of through motorists who avoid the slower speeds, stops and congestion associated with driving through downtowns. Despite the benefits of highway bypasses, they remain controversial. Some local business owners in the town being bypassed may be concerned that the reduction of traffic passing through the town will adversely affect their sales. In addition, when a bypass or a new highway alignment is constructed, the old alignment is refurbished (if needed) by the state and then given back to the local unit of government (city and/or county) which contains the old route. The added expenditure to the local government of an additional road may result in a reduction of maintenance on other city/county roads. Case studies of the economic impacts of highway bypasses on individual towns are needed since the effects of bypasses may vary a great deal from place to place. The objectives of this report were for a sample of small Kansas towns that have highway bypasses, (1) assess the impact of the bypass on the towns total employment, (2) measure the impact on retail sales of the towns travel-related businesses, (3) measure the impact on employment of the towns travel-related businesses, (4) measure the impact on labor cost per employee of the towns travel-related businesses, and for the Kansas counties that contain the sample of small Kansas towns that have bypasses, (5) assess the incremental impact on the county's road maintenance expenditures of assuming maintenance responsibility for the previous road alignment. / NOTE:Final rept.
