31st Street repair plan outlines immediate traffic improvements
A Lawrence study on 31st Street proposes urgent improvements to handle 2012 traffic, including signals at Haskell and Louisiana, longer turn lanes, and re paving the stretch from Haskell to near Louisiana at an estimated 550000 dollars. Intersections would cost just under 2 million, with a possible eastward extension to Noria Road costing about 10.25 million plus right of way.
