Commission approves specials restriction for delinquents
Lawrence city commissioners unanimously adopted a policy denying benefit district financing to developers with delinquent real property or special assessment taxes or with personal payment guarantees. The move follows a study on encouraging payment of delinquent specials, which comprise about 17 percent of the 1.5 million dollars in 1981 assessments. The action is described as the first step, with other options including upfront contributions and extending repayment from 10 to 20 30 years.

North Lawrence man upset by street closures for Union Pacific overpass
A North Lawrence resident protests the Lawrence City Commission decision to close Eighth and Fourth Streets for a Union Pacific pedestrian overpass across the rail yard. He argues the Eighth Street closure harms his antiques and salvage business at 510 N Eighth. City officials say the action follows a 1979 plan and public discussion. Union Pacific says the overpass improves safety for Woodlawn School and may remove the need for a crossing guard. The man contends he was not notified, and questions permits beyond Fourth Street.
