Public Vote Sought on South Lawrence Trafficway Split Over Route
Lawrence groups push for a vote on the 32nd Street route through Baker Wetlands to influence the final leg of the trafficway linking I 70 west of Lawrence to KS 10 east. Officials cite KDOT control and FHWA review, while a 1990 county vote approved bonds for the project.

Lawrence residents may see if federal approval for the South Lawrence Trafficway is likely, as a draft 4 f review evaluates a viable alternative to the 32nd Street route for the November 7 election. The plan hinges on Douglas County Commission action to place the issue on the ballot, with public meetings and comments planned through December, and finalization not expected until July.

Douglas County jail seeks re entry program overhaul
A Douglas County plan to slow the revolving door of inmates aims to re integrate released prisoners through a new computer system and housing matrix. It would track needs such as mental illness or substance abuse, link to services, and monitor progress with mentors and employment support. The initiative faces crowding and funding challenges but borrows ideas from Kent County Michigan and Sedgwick County Kansas models.
