Salina taxi program cited as cheaper elderly transport
Salina's aging commission says taxi rides cost 84 cents per trip with 27,000 rides in 1976 while Douglas County's Mini Bus cost 1.25 per ride for 27,200 trips. Keeling defends restricted taxi access as meeting needs, limiting trips to essentials and keeping services for the elderly.

Senior citizen programs compare Douglas and Saline counties
Douglas County spends more public money on elderly programs than Saline, funded largely by federal money for Douglas and local property taxes for Saline. Lawrence officials study Salina's transportation program run by volunteers and a small paid staff, as Salina relies on private taxis and meals, while Douglas offers five meal sites, a Mini Bus system, clinics, and wide services funded mainly by Older Americans Act grants.

City to consider closing county road near airport
Lawrence city commissioners will review a resolution to close the county road north of Lawrence Municipal Airport to support an extended runway project funded by a new federal grant. Opposed by Grant Township officials, the move may follow a stalled county plan to relocate part of the roadway atop a levee tied to the Mud Creek project. The 7 p.m. meeting on the fourth floor of the First National Bank Tower also covers sewer installation in Prairie Meadows Nos. 6 and 7, annexation for Ryan Transportation, a stop sign on Arkansas at Fourth Street, a Douglas County road closure request, Orchards No. 3 improvements, and board appointments.
