Trafficway route 32nd Street B favored for eastern leg
A 5-2 Tuesday vote by a task force of city county school and planning officials backed the 32nd Street B alignment for the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway. The plan envisions four lanes on a 32nd Street route just south of 31st Street with a new two lane 31st Street between Louisiana and Haskell and access points at Iowa Street and a altered Haskell Avenue. Opponents favored 42nd Street to avoid Baker Wetlands and potential lawsuits, but supporters warn 42nd could spur late development south of the Wakarusa. The plan would include a wetlands learning center and compensation for Baker University, with input from BIA and Haskell. The project hinges on KDOT coordinating a broader stakeholder process, though officials push to proceed toward a final resolution and ribbon-cutting.
