Open house to address trafficway options
Area residents can learn more about proposed routes for the uncompleted portion of the South Lawrence Trafficway at an open house hosted by the Federal Highway Administration from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. today at the Kansas National Guard Armory, 200 Iowa.
The Federal Highway Administration is taking comments on a 4(f) report that studies route options that include running the uncompleted portion of the road along a 32nd Street alignment that would go through the Baker Wetlands, and a route that would put the road south of the Wakarusa River.
Members of the public have until Jan. 5 to submit written comments on the South Lawrence Trafficway route. Comments can be sent to Wendall L. Meyer, assistant division administrator, Federal Highway Administration Kansas Division Office, 6111 S.W. 29th St., Topeka 66614.
Copies of the report can be viewed online at www.ksdot.org/projects/search.asp.
The report also is available for viewing at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt.
