City considers bus substitution and street resurfacing plan
A letter from P. J. Parker of Kansas Electric Power proposes replacing streetcars on Indiana Street with buses to serve West Lawrence. The plan also asks to roll a tight crew of asphalt over existing cap tracks, with rails and ties left until resurfacing. City officials note tests show the route could match current times, but no action was taken. The proposal hinges on the city resurfacing Indiana Street and removing rails at the city's expense.
