Chad, I was just by that WalMart yesterday and it appeared someone was doing work on the area just west of 6/Congressional. Is this the start of the apartments, or something else ???

Thanks

It likely is, but I didn't notice it the last time I was out there, so I can't speak specifically to it at the moment. Thanks, Chad

When did Lance start working for Colliers? I thought he worked for a development group?

I guess I'm not seeing these Google Map "dotted lines on the map... show[ing] the future route for the South Lawrence Trafficway" or "the future route for the relocated Louisiana Street" - am I missing something?

FYI

It only works when you are zoomed in pretty far.

So if Google Maps is correct, then Louisiana will be relocated closer to Ousdahl where, if continuing the state street naming, would technically be Arkansas Street. Why not name New Louisiana Street something else in order to avoid confusion if Louisiana between 23rd and 31st is going to remain in place?

Although I've always thought moving Louisiana, Haskell and 31st Street was pointless, unnecessary and just a way to pad the bill.

Lawrence has a real population of about 68,000 ..... excluding students who are gone a total of 3-4 months a year. So I'm told.

If KU succeeds in making stiffer requirements to enter the university Lawrence will see fewer students in the future so I speculate.

The Lawrence rental market is bloated and rents are inflated. And high paying jobs are somewhat scarce as they have been for the past 30 years.

I would not have expected an Fighting Illini/Atlanta Falcons football reference in this article, but there it is.
