Lawrence City Commission postpones decision to convert parking lot in 1000 block of Vermont

The Lawrence City Commission has deferred a request to convert the city-owned, two-hour parking lot in the 1000 block of Vermont Street into a 10-hour, metered lot in order to accommodate a proposed office development for Treanor Architects.

The decision happened during the commission’s Tuesday night meeting.

Commissioners said they wanted to give nearby property owners more time to consider the changes.
