“I think if our fiscal health allows it, we should seriously consider it. I think maintaining the historic character of the city adds to the quality of life.”

“I think that if they have the opportunity to preserve them, then they should. Lawrence has a really different atmosphere than other towns, and I think it's important to preserve that.”
— Sharon Ramos, Kansas University senior, Lawrence
“Yes, because it keeps the flavor of the old community.”
— Mark Kramer, marketing manager, Lawrence
“I appreciate their historical value, and I think they should try to retain some of the main brick roads; but I'm sure there are better places to spend the money.”
