As city prepares to bid recreation center, officials still waiting to receive cost numbers from Fritzel on infrastructure
Here's what the city did. You're looking for a new car. You go into the dealer saying you want this car and you're not willing to spend over 25,000. You sign the papers and look online and realize people paid 15,000 for it. But you also remember that the paper said the dealer could charge whatever they wanted. Then you go, "well it only cost other people 15k, they wouldn't charge me 25k for the car, right?" Dealer says nothing.

Wicked Broadband project seeks $500,000 city grant; downtown hotel project seeks adjustment to incentives package; historical society seeks $20k for new exhibit
Well the hope is that Wicked's infrastructure will build out to most of the residential areas of Lawrence and that would mean building out infrastructure to where a lot of businesses are here in Lawrence, hopefully.

The investors may just want to see a city commitment because it would cement government support for the project. More importantly, google fiber has been luring in businesses to KC because of the the availability of cheap fast internet. Not having gigabit internet reduces lawrence's attractiveness for potential businesses. At only 500k, I would consider this a bargain and a must in order for lawrence to compete with the KC metro area.

Lawrence cyclist seriously injured in collision with vehicle
Are you implying that drivers are idiots? Youre not even supposed to be cycling on the sidewalk. I bet this wouldnt have happened if he was on the road.

Do you think the city needs more parking downtown?
The first summer (and last) I worked downtown, my car got two door dings and got a nice 2 inch gash from someone keying it.

Lawrence falls short in bid for national ArtPlace grant
I'm sure the city can pull up another $100 million or so to develop the all important art and and cultural sector for Kansas. We don't really need the grants right?

Spring storm leaves cloudy skies with cold, wet conditions
Yup something along the lines of "How's that global warming working" or something like that. Maybe the LJW staff didn't like how they were bringing politics into weather?
