Wheel Genius: Road work planned for this week
N650 at U.S. Highway 59
If this is the old Zarco gas station corner, I believe this is now open. Even the bridge is open. Maybe it is only temporary, I do not know.

Garbage collection in Lawrence: Beware changes
Some automated trash pick up systems were designed to reduce injuries. They still required people to operate the equipment. The ones I have seen required a driver plus two people to roll the trash bins to the truck (one person for each side of the road). What is the condition of the current fleet of trucks being used to pick up the trash? How did you determine that the current system is working well? Just what costs are associated with the expected savings? Why were cities that are successfully using the automated trash pick up systems not considered in the discussions. Hays was mentioned as having problems with the new system. I found articles that stated Hays, KS had some start up challenges, but later articles say that it is working for them. Obviously, whatever Toledo did wrong should not be repeated in Lawrence. Lessons can be learned and better solutions can be found. Personally, I do not buy the logic that the city is considering a change just to displease you. The city of Lawrence is already doing something right, since you are happy with the service. As it is with most editorials, only one view point is presented and many details are omitted.

What grade would you give the Kansas University community, including university and city police, when it comes to handling student drinking?
Maybe the choice Incomplete should have been incompetent?

Kansas House approves covenant marriage measure
Why is this bill even necessary? People who are willing to make their marriage work will do the best they can and do not need a law to tell them this.

Should the city of Lawrence allow military re-enactors to fire blank ammunition?
Lawrence is not a very quiet town, so I do not understand the noise issue. There is often something going on in Lawrence. If noise is the only issue, maybe another location could have been considered?

Are you looking forward to students (grades kindergarten through 12) returning to school?
I work on the far east side of Lawrence. Lately, I have been driving through Lawrence to get to work.. When the traffic start getting heavier and more people pull out in front of me almost too late, I will start taking alternate routes. I am not looking forward for school to start again. At least I have found routes that will take me completely around Lawrence.

New wetlands taking shape
Has anyone considered what the wetlands and the roads will be like in the future? If no new roads are built, there will surely be increase in traffic and pollution. Traffic will have to slow down considerably, due to congestion and cause more pollution to the local environment. As I understand it, the current plan for the new roads will create a separation of the traffic from the wetlands. This may help preserve the wetlands in the long term. The reactionary approach of doing nothing could kill off the current habitation. So far, all I have seen posted is either do nothing or build the roads. No one seems to be offering better solutions to meet the needs of both the wildlife and the traffic of the future. It seems to be “My way and to hell with everyone else.” As for the “New Wetlands” article, it seems that an attempt is being made to help provide a long term solution for the future of the wildlife. New road or no road, I hope it will work. There bound to be setbacks, but there are people willing to take action, instead of moaning and groaning with the rest of us on this blog.

Emergency crews life-flight one after four-wheeler rollover
A helmet works. I had a very minor accident once. When I checked my helmet afterwards, it had two bruise marks. The fall happened very quick without any chance to recover. My ego was hurt more than I was. My prayers are with the rider and his family. Peace be with you.
