City eyes 1.6 million grant for Iowa City tunnel plan
The Lawrence City Commission will weigh a plan to fund a 2 million bicycle and pedestrian tunnel under the 19th and Iowa streets intersection. A 1.6 million state grant covers 80 percent, with 400,000 split between the city and the University of Kansas which will donate right of way. The tunnel aims to increase safety on Iowa Street, a state highway with high traffic, linking west side paths to the north side 19th Street path.
