Officials push downtown access link for bypass trafficway
Lawrence and Douglas County officials urge a joint planning document tying a 14.3 mile trafficway southwest and east to downtown to win state backing. They seek Sixth Street connections, potential K-10 designation, future overpasses, and land use rules to limit commercial development while protecting truck access and speed. The plan, totaling about 38 million with 4 million county funding, aims for a state special session at August end.
