City commission backs bicycle parking and snow shoveling rules
GIO Rea F Ebeneeeee Lawrence city commissioners signaled support Tuesday for a bicycle parking ordinance allowing sidewalk and meter post parking unless obstructing pedestrians or disabled spaces. Voluntary bike registration at 25 cents continues. A second proposal would require property owners to clear sidewalks within 24 hours of snowfall or face a $20 fine, with enforcement upon complaints. Both measures head to a future agenda for approval.

Bar seeks removal of trash condition from site plan
Replay Lounge at 946 Mass operates a patio garden under a site plan that links its feasibility to no neighbor complaints about noise or trash. With a new 20 loft apartments building across the alley near the parking garage, the bar fears residents will generate trash blamed on Replay. Price Banks, the bar’s attorney, asked commissioners to strike the trash condition. Staff was asked by commissioners on Tuesday to review the request.
