Commission approves SIM for westside interchange
Lawrence city commissioners approved spending 1 million dollars to aid a 17.2 million state project creating an interchange at Bob Billings Parkway and the South Lawrence Trafficway. They anticipated about 5 000 more vehicles daily after opening, likely in late 2015, and began a study to plan needed traffic improvements including potential stop signs signals and right in right out designations. Community member Julie Hack urged a plan to slow traffic as Bob Billings Parkway gains capacity.
