East Ninth Project plan draws City Commission feedback
Lawrence commissioners debated narrower driving lanes and intimate gathering areas during a review of the East Ninth Project concept plan. Art culture chief Porter Arneill said the 87 page document outlines ideas for public art and street improvements on Ninth Street between Massachusetts and Delaware. The design team will refine the plan using feedback from the commission, citizen advisory groups, and cultural agencies, with a final package due after consultation with partner organizations and a February return to the City Commission.
