Hawker Apartments plans draw neighbor ire in Lawrence
A proposed Hawker Apartments project at the 10th and Missouri intersection faces opposition from about three dozen nearby residents. The plan includes 36 units and 75 parking spaces. City commissioners will review the site plan at a 6:35 p.m. meeting at City Hall. Residents fear traffic, trash, drainage issues, and street upgrades. Developer Thomas Fritzel says plans may be adjusted, including ditching a curb cut and adding underground drainage. KU student Sarah Furtig voices concern about student housing density and neighborhood character.
