Low-Cost Surfacing Considered for City Streets
Lawrence city officials report a waterbound macadam test on Lyons Street cost under $2 per front foot, about half the price of curb and gutter, and under one third of a first class project. The plan aims to cut long term maintenance costs and may use five year bonds, with limits on heavy traffic routes. City Manager Wigglesworth warns dust control seal coats are cheaper but short lived and can shift blame to the city. The commission also opts to grow internal engineering staff rather than hire outside firms for airport improvements due to workload.
