City to begin sidewalk inspections before policy decision
The City of Lawrence starts its first round of sidewalk inspections under its long standing policy that repairs are the responsibility of adjacent property owners. Inspectors will document deficient sidewalks and add notes to a city database in real time using GIS. Further action depends on City Commission decisions on enforcement, with loan or grant ideas proposed to aid low income residents.
