Lawrence approves green median strips and sidewalk plan amid deadlock
Lawrence commissioners vote to install green plastic median dividers at 15th and Iowa and to push sidewalks in the 19th to 23rd area, amid a 2-2 tie on Naismith Drive. Dispute over sidewalk location and school funding prompts rejections and a deferred decision, with bids awarded on sewer work and a city ordinance affecting emergency personnel residency.
