KU Freight Line Project May Drop
The Kaw Valley Interurban Company chief indicated city officials that pressure to build the Seventeenth Street freight line likely will be dropped due to strong Lawrence property owner opposition. If revived, the project would connect streetcar tracks from Massachusetts to Tennessee to move KU freight directly to campus. Without a Public Service Commission ruling deeming the line a public convenience and necessity, the plan will be abandoned. A commission review could trigger a voter franchise election. At Wednesday’s meeting, citizens urged heavy pavement on a proposed truck route to the campus, while pledging support for the university. City attorney C. Stewart noted KU funds would back either line or smaller trucks.
