Lawrence outlines four lane K-10 expansion and river city priorities
The Lawrence city priorities call for funding to expand the west leg of K-10 between I-70 and Iowa Street and for safer at grade intersections. They oppose using highway funds to balance the state budget and seek stronger language extending the handgun ban exemption in city buildings until January 2018. The list also supports KU and Haskell initiatives and urges legislative changes on tax limits, transparency, and equality.
