Expansion Could Eliminate Clinton Parkway Interchange
Plans to expand the South Lawrence Trafficway west leg to four lanes may remove the Clinton Parkway interchange, affecting Clinton Lake park access and business. Engineer Steve Baalman notes the curve would be flattened and the interchange rebuilt or removed to ease freeway flow and separate local from K 10 traffic, while developer Greg DiVilbiss warns it could devastate property values and curb shopping access for Lawrence residents.
