Parking plan stalls 624-bedroom complex occupancy
The 624-bedroom mixed-use complex at 11 Indiana St faces delays in final occupancy due to parking shortages after a robotic valet system’s bankruptcy. Phase one of a city plan to expand surface parking, realign Fambrough Drive, and demolish two houses nears completion. The project, linked to HERE and KU Endowment Association, could affect $8 million in incentives and $5.7 million in 10-year tax rebates under the NRA agreement, with occupancy tied to substantial completion and full parking.

Other July 1 changes include aggravated domestic battery as a level 7 felony, drug paraphernalia misdemeanor, stricter burglary penalties, record expungement for mistaken-arrest cases, and enhanced penalties under the Law Enforcement Protection Act.
