KU May Revise Request For Control Of Lawrence Streets
The University of Kansas may expand its street control request to cover all campus streets after records show most of the campus lies within Lawrence city limits. Lennard Axe says the campus could gain authority over trafficways once the attorney general rules on vacating the streets. The original six streets and adjacent areas were part of a 1931 city addition, with final action awaiting legal guidance and the airport lease decision.
