Public Forum on Extending Wakarusa Drive
Chris Phelps of Lawrence weighs pros and cons of extending Wakarusa Drive south across the Wakarusa River. Benefits include easier access for families south of the lake and potential faster fire and medical response times, with downsides such as increased traffic, a lengthy four year construction period, possible land annexation, and loss of prime farmland north of the river. The proposal also touches on river access to YSI fields and environmental concerns over invasive bush honeysuckle reduction.
