Lighted path between downtown Lawrence, KU gets final piece of needed funding from city commission
A plan to build a lighted path between downtown and Kansas University received its final piece of needed funding Tuesday night.
Commissioners unanimously approved an allocation of $137,010 in federal Community Development Block Grant money for a lighted pathway project that has been sought by students and university leaders to improve pedestrian safety. The path will run from South Park to the intersection of 12th and Louisiana streets. Work is expected to begin this summer.
