City to decide who should pay for Queens Road project
Lawrence City Commission will decide at its Tuesday meeting whether to establish two benefit districts to fund Queens Road reconstruction and its West Sixth Street intersection. City staff propose districting plus city payment of 350000 for bike lanes and multiuse path, while over 90 percent of the 5.3 million cost falls on district property owners. Residents spoke for hours last year about contributions and alternatives amid other neighborhood road access concerns.
