Street surprise slows East Ninth Street arts corridor plan
Editorials note the East Ninth Street arts corridor plan raised truck route issues only after community feedback. The design proposes two 10 foot driving lanes and two 4 foot bike lanes, while officials debate whether to move the route or reconfigure lanes. Mayor Amyx warns moving routes creates new problems for local deliveries and businesses. The committee will review revised options with buffers or a recreational path at its December 16 meeting, aiming to avoid overlooking details and ensure careful planning for Lawrence.

Ninth Street bike and pedestrian route questioned
Angela Candela argues Ninth Street, already a truck route, should not have shared space for pedestrians and cyclists. She suggests designating Eighth Street as the bicycle route, citing its quiet nature as ideal for downtown cyclists crossing from Burroughs Trail toward Louisiana Street, then linking to Seventh or Ninth Street as needed.
