Lawrence city commissioners heard petitions from Citizens for Public Transportation urging funds for a fixed route system in the 1999 budget, which currently omits such a service. The hearing is set for Aug 4 as CAE Vanguard Inc plans a $1.7 million expansion and tax abatement to relocate operations to a Lawrence site, with a 10 year 50 percent property tax break.
