Audit says Lawrence streets improved by fly ash base
Lawrence city audit credits 2003 design changes for longer lasting streets. Fly ash mixed with dirt now forms the base for new roads, reducing potholes and extending life by 25 to 40 percent on nonresidential streets. The audit recommends a formal brick street policy while noting cost and salvage options for north south versus east west routes. City officials will review findings at the August 2 meeting.

Lowe's store plan sparked Bauer Farm debate in Lawrence
City commissioners balked at a Lowe's east of Bauer Farm near Sixth Street and Folks Road due to its distance from Free State High School and the property not being zoned for retail. Lowe's cited lack of nearby residential development and a different Bauer Farm owner prior. No incentives are planned, and neighbors who opposed Walmart at Sixth and Wakarusa echoed concerns. Gwen Klingberg, a neighborhood association leader, voiced local sentiment.
