City seeks court opinion on downtown redevelopment petition
Lawrence officials filed for a declaratory judgment from Douglas County District Court on a petition seeking an ordinance to craft a downtown redevelopment plan. The measure would delay public demolition, curb property acquisition, and set plan implementation rules. Petition sponsors Mark Kaplan and Richard Kershenbaum criticized the delay tactic while Mayor Ed Carter defended the board’s stance. The dispute centers on whether the city can delay a vote pending court guidance ahead of April city elections.
