City weighs permanent expansion of alcohol sales downtown
Lawrence leaders will consider a code change to permanently allow accessory bars for non restaurant businesses in downtown and other commercial areas with alcohol sales under 45 percent of total. The measure would end the temporary 2020 allowance and keep downtown rules intact while broadening eligible business types. The City Commission meets virtually Tuesday at 5 45 p m with options for in person attendance and public comment.
