KDOT Reconsiders South Lawrence Trafficway Alignment
State transportation officials say the South Lawrence Trafficway may cost up to 15 million dollars more and require more than 3 million dollars in local funding. A 3.8 million federal share earmarked for the Eastern Parkway could cover the local match. KDOT told Douglas County last month the route must be rebuilt from the ground up as portions of County Road 13 Clinton Parkway and 31st Street cannot support a state highway. The completed corridor would be designated Kansas Highway 10.

Bond election decision upheld in Kansas Supreme Court ruling
The Kansas Supreme Court 6-0 decision upheld Douglas County 1990 advisory bond election for the South Lawrence trafficway. A resident’s attorney may sue over other aspects. A new trial is set for Aug. 10 for Marvin Schaal in the death of Christopher Bread, in a 1990 hit-and-run. Clyde Bellecourt of the American Indian Movement praised the decision and spoke at a rally outside the Douglas County courthouse.
