Letter: Road work
To the editor:
The Journal-World ran a good editorial last month about the pathetic road construction situation here in Lawrence this summer. On Wednesday, I was driving past the massive construction site at 23rd and Iowa and only saw three workers puttering around.
In the future, the city needs to negotiate hardball contracts that include a large fine for each day that the contractor is late in delivering the completed project. City planners should also make sure that any road construction is truly necessary and that all the resources are available to expedite the process quickly and effectively.
