Saturday, October 22

Are race organizers allowed to mark pavements with orange or yellow fluorescent arrows for the route of a race? They’re making ugly marks all over the Burroughs Creek parkway trail.

Does Gov. Sam Brownback write his own speeches or does he have a speech writer?

Tuesday, October 18

I’ve heard rumors the Wakarusa Valley School building, now home to the Lawrence Virtual School, is being sold to become a museum. Is this true?

Besides Kansas University, are there any other Bowl Conference Series schools that still have a track inside their football stadium?

Sunday, October 16

I was curious as to how many flu shots were given during the recent drive-thru clinic in Lawrence?

Saturday, October 15

I saw a parking attendant issuing tickets on Columbus Day. I asked them about it and was told it wasn’t a city holiday. What other national holidays does the city not observe and will still issue tickets?

Thursday, October 13

I saw where the city auditor put out a report that compares Lawrence’s finances with 14 other similar cities. What cities did he compare Lawrence with?

Monday, October 10

I was under the impression that there is a new federal law mandating insurance companies to pay 100 percent of certain preventive colorectal screenings such as colonoscopies. Is that correct?

Sunday, October 9

I live near a business downtown that plays music so loud I can hear it in my apartment in another building. What is the noise ordinance as it applies to Mass. Street? Can I call in complaints?

Saturday, October 8

When will the South Lawrence Trafficway bike path be back open in the area of Kasold Drive and 31st Street where all of the construction is taking place on the street? Is there an alternative route for bicyclists in this area?

When can we expect to get lane markings back on Douglas County Road 442, also known as Stull Road? It was repaved six months ago. We still don’t have permanent lane markings.

Thursday, October 6

Just a few weeks ago the city put new asphalt down along Sixth Street. Recently they have done something to the manhole covers and are tearing up the asphalt again for another project. Why don’t they do all the work at the same time so they don’t have to tear up the asphalt again?

Tuesday, October 4

Where can a grandma take computer classes?
