Sound Off 2012

Sound Off for August 2012

Friday, August 24

Sound Off: My 7-year-old-son has become very interested in the water towers he sees around town. How many are there in Lawrence? What is their average height and how much water do they typically hold?

Wednesday, August 22

Sound Off: I recently have gone past Baldwin Junction and noticed they are building a strange little round building in a fenced area, and I just wanted to know what that building is for.

Monday, August 20

Sound Off: Does the city have plans to install a traffic light at George Williams Way and Sixth Street? It’s difficult and dangerous to turn west from George Williams Way, and circuitous to use the light at Stoneridge. Another alternative would be K-10 access from Bob Billings.
