MAIZE -A judge on Wednesday granted Maize USD 266’s temporary restraining order, placing a stop to a planned road closure along the access road from Maize Road to Maize South Elementary School, according to a school district media release.

The court order mandates that the city of Wichita and developer not proceed as planned for now.

The road closure was scheduled to begin immediately and last approximately six weeks.

Citing significant concerns involving safety and logistics, the district on Monday took legal action and filed action seeking the temporary restraining order against the city of Wichita and the developer involved with the plan.

Judge William Woolley of the 18th Judicial District Court granted the temporary restraining order, which delays the planned project that will build a road from 37th Street North to Maize South Elementary School.

It will provide additional access to the school to maintain the current level of access now available.

A temporary road will be built from 37th Street to the schools before the proposed construction project can start, so that the school is still accessible from two streets. The finalization of that new temporary road will allow for the planned access road construction to begin, according to the school district.
