City pushes ongoing talks on land purchases for 31st and Iowa road
Lawrence commissioners ordered staff and Rubenstein Real Estate to continue negotiating the purchase of land at the southeast corner of 31st and Iowa to finance road improvements. The dispute centers on price with offers ranging from 4 to 15 dollars per square foot, potentially leading to condemnation if negotiations fail, and a repeal of the June condemnation ordinance may shrink the final area bought.

He argues a city ban could shift problems to rural areas and Baldwin and Eudora, worsen emergency workloads, and notes county may not outlaw sales. The joint Lecompton meeting at 6:35 p.m. covers roads and a boat dock.
