Baker University trustees protest federal aid routing for the Pleasant Grove road south of Lawrence to Baldwin. They favor an alternate route via Baldwin hill to serve Vinland Sibleyville and nearby homes, arguing it shortens distance, better serves Baldwin and Haskell Institute, and keeps Baldwin as a highway control point. They cite university investment, upcoming fundraising, and concerns Baldwin would be off the route if the hill route is used.
