Unfinished business
To the editor:
Why, why, why aren’t these things done? Here is my top 10 list of things that are unfinished in Lawrence:
-
Why can’t Sixth Street get finished? Perfect weather, workers standing around?
-
Why can’t they finish the bridges going to North Lawrence?
-
Why do we not have a grocery story in North Lawrence?
-
Why do we not have an Olive Garden at 27th and Iowa? The busy intersection has been vacant for 10 years.
-
Why do we not have a Red Lobster?
-
Why did it take a Kansas City developer to come to Lawrence to create a viable project at Ninth and Delaware, which I knew needed attention 20 years ago?
-
Why isn’t the South Lawrence Trafficway done after 15 or 20 years of costly delays?
-
Why does the police department need 42 new officers when it has 10 abandoned police cars at the city maintenance garage?
-
Why does the city continue to let 1313 Haskell continue to be unfinished? Nothing has been done on this eyesore for five years.
-
Why doesn’t the city do what they are paid to do? Let Lawrence be Lawrence.
