City hall traffic fix trims North 17th Street parking
City engineer Terese Gorman urges removing 125 feet of south side curb parking on 17th Street near Massachusetts to stop red light triggers from sensor loops. The Traffic Safety Commission will review the plan at 7:30 p.m. Monday in city hall, with final action by the Lawrence Traffic Commission. A separate request seeks a handicapped space on Rhode Island Street, while KDOT denies a signal request at Sixth Street and Monterey Way.
