“If you don’t know where you’re going, you might end up some place else.” The inimitable Yogi Berra probably wasn’t thinking about urban planning when he made that statement, but his words seem worth pondering as the Lawrence City Commission considers revising or replacing the city’s Horizon 2020 comprehensive plan.
