This should have done 20 years ago when it would have cost 30 t0 50 million instead of 150 million plus and all the court costs.

Get r done! Quit wasting time and money.

This is a sad day for taxpayers in general, and conservationists in particular. "Developers" and other speculators will now use even more of our paying taxpayers' money to pave the wetlands, build ugly high-rises, and increase the already-high rate of vehicular homicide by idiots racing along a "southern bypass". P.S. A concise and readable brief would have helped the cause of the good guys.

Careful Grampaw, you are hallucinating again, did you take your meds? Wait I'll call the nurse for you.

75% YES as of 9:24am. Watch that figure drop as the paid protesters, tree huggers, and Obamatons start to roll out of bed in a couple of hours.

cdomin01 10 months, 1 week ago

hey! i am a supporter of the President and this "obamator" agrees with the ruling. You must watch "Fox" which states that all supporters of the President are brainwashed...see how silly it all sounds....

Reality calling...

Yes to Obama. Yes to strategic and logical conservation. Yes to the SLT, which is disrupting a MAN-MADE wetland which (we know) can be moved.They've already implemented this.

Glad to explode your tiny, right-wing head for you.

For far too long a few noisey people who are anti growth have been dictating to the commissioners. It is time for the rest of us to get involved. Anti growth equall higher taxes for those of us who live here year round, and own property.

PLEASE BUILD THE DARNED THING, ALREADY. FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND UNHOLY, BUILD THE THING, ALREADY. WITHOUT IT LAWRENCE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A STAGNANT, TRAFFIC CONSTIPATED, COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL BURG. Pardon me for yelling.

How foolish minded people can be? Hope you have fun destroying your children's future, you won't be here to remedy your actions, it will be their problem right?

Why stop at 80%, KansLib? Heck, cut out the ENTIRE defense budget. Oops - that STILL doesn't make up the deficits Obama is saddling us with.

Move Forward!

If Bob Eye is elected to congress, he'll put a stop to this trafficway. Congressmen do those types of things.

News flash!

K-10, Hwy 40 & I-70 already exist and stand ready to transport one and all from Topeka to Lawrence and back!

Thank God! I'm tired of taking a good half hour or more to tow my boat through town! I want to get out to the lake in just a few minutes, which the SLT will let me do!

Other than a place for tree-huggers to make love in the mosquito clouds, do the wetlands serve any purpose other than to be a road-kill generator? Or a bug-juice splatter manufacturer?

jhorus 10 months, 1 week ago

Actually you are wrong. Others included are: my wife, my kids, my neighbors, my sister-in-law and husband, several friends east of us, etc, etc. You should do well to make sure your posts are correct to avoid looking stupid.

Moderate 10 months, 1 week ago

I do. I am tired of driving through town to go east. There will be plenty of wet lands when the road is completed

The SLT will increase Douglas County taxes perhaps more than we are never being told. Grab your tax dollar wallets.

The more Lawrence expands the larger the tax dollar money hole. Why?

The community has never stopped expanding long enough to catch up with the ever expanding cost of paying for the helter skelter growth decisions. In other words Lawrence has never been in a position where new growth is paying for itself.

There is one consequence of helter skelter aimless growth that usually goes unmentioned by the local media,city hall and elected officials - local profiteers are draining our pocketbooks and raising our taxes.

Developers and EmpT cars are quite large budget items. Cars demanding a $250-$300 million roadway which only covers construction. Then come the millions necessary for maintenance and snow removal. All one monster tax increase.

Your post makes no sense. "Aimless growth", as you derisively call it, leads to massive increases in sales and property taxes. The problem with the city and county budgets (as with all government budgets) is spending spending spending, not revenue generation. And, this is a state project.

But, but, this was approved in an election! How can you dispute the will of the people? (from a source)

I mourn for another crushing blow to Native Americans - their reasons for wanting to protect this scared site are so often looked over. One would think that after 300+ years of chipping away at Native American interests in the name of progress, development and civilization, modern government would say "Okay, okay. You can have this site that is sacred to you and full of history." No, it must be destroyed for the sake of commerce.

Liberal 10 months, 1 week ago

This has nothing to do with Native Americans with the exception that they through a fit about something that is not their concern. This is the Baker Wetlands not the Haskell Wetlands.

If they really cared for the wetlands they would take care of the side that IS actually theirs, but they do not....actions speak louder then words.

I mourn for all of my tax dollars that have been wasted on this, money that could have gone to providing water in the Sioux nation. Fed the homeless or provided medical care to those in need.

True problems, not grandstanding.
