Commission near vote on turn lane on Sixth Street
The Lawrence City Commission weighs a left turn lane on Sixth Street from Maine to Tennessee amid opposition from Old West Lawrence residents. Staff and neighborhood leaders reviewed 12 proposals from a 1990 task force including removing parking, boosting speed enforcement, and adding a traffic signal at Sixth and Mississippi. A grass median plan was rejected by the Kansas Department of Transportation as unsuitable for U.S. Highway 40. Opponents cite child safety at Pinckney School and preserving Old West Lawrence. The commission will place the issue on the next regular meeting agenda.

War victory may hinder energy policy
The Persian Gulf war ends the immediate threat to Western oil, but analysts warn it may delay U S energy security progress. Lower oil prices reduce incentives for conservation or new U S drilling, risking higher import dependence than during Saddam Hussein’s era. Gulf War, page 11A.
