Eudora submitting bid for pedestrian walkway over K-10

You must be the one that doesn't live in Eudora or have no idea of the geographics of the town. The neighborhood that it would connect from over by the pool doesn't have that many houses, and where it would connect to on the otherside of the road over by the pet hospital does not have sidewalks-there is a huge empty field between where the bridge would be build and the middle school and high school. If you took a look at the ACTUAL plans that the city has mapped out of what they would like to happen ALSO includes adding the "recreational path"s for the pedestrian bridge, as well as on church street, as well as under K-10 further down the road about a 1/2 mile, and also on the Winchester St bridge. That to my count makes 4 connections under/over K-10 within a mile span. If they don't get approved to take over the farmers field and build sidewalks to the schools then the entire project is a waste since Church street is supossed to be getting sidewalks too. If they build everything that they are planning on this project it is going to cost WAY more then the 1.8 million.

Eudora submitting bid for pedestrian walkway over K-10

Biggest waste of money ever. Spending money to build a pedestrian bridge from no where to no where is a joke. There are not even very many houses in the subdivision over by the pool, and they are going to have it connect to a farmers field. Would make a lot more sense to just expand the bridge over Church St that already goes over K-10.

Town Talk: Soup and sandwich shop opens near Clinton Parkway Hy-Vee; Meritrust Credit Union signs deal for new eastern Lawrence branch; city to host trash can recycling event Friday

Bank of the West on 6th street is also closing in a few weeks. Too bad it was it's only Lawrence location.

Installation of cable median barrier to begin next week on K-10

A 5 point harness carseat would have also saved this boys life.....how come I don't see his parents campaigning for the use of extended weight limit carseats to keep bigger kids safe?

Sound Off: Is there any way the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department can send an electronic remi

Somewhere on the enrollment system you can print off a calendar that lists all of the activities you are enrolled in for a specific month along with class dates and times. You can print this off when you enroll or you can print it off once a month so you know what you are enrolled in.

Town Talk: City would pay $24M in lease payments for proposed rec center, complex would include special sales tax; land transfers, including sale of Kmart Distribution Center property

Yup 7.5 million in interest from the taxpayers over 20 years....that's $375,000 a year paid to Fritzel.

Sound Off: There are two cabins at Clinton Lake State Park. Can they be rented?

There will be 7 cabins in total when they are done with the construction. 6 of them will be one bedroom and the very back one will be a 2 bedroom.

Sound Off: If door-to-door solicitors have a valid city license, can they come to my door even if I

The golden rule?!?! I thought that was treat others as you wish to be treated. According to me the golden rule would apply that I would not want to be harassed by someone trying to "push" their religious beliefs on me or sell me crap I don't need. I have dogs and small children and have 3 times this week had my kids woken up by people knocking at my door trying to sell me crap I don't need or try to talk to me about the bible. One by some dude in a green shirt trying to sell me windows and siding, once by some dude with home security systems and once by 2 older men with some church.
Well I believe that people should be free to pratice whatever religion they see fit, I also should be granted the same right. I would NEVER show up at a strangers door to bother them and their family in their own home to try and force my beliefs upon them.
And I have tried not answering the door but they just continue to stop by my house several times a day until they make contact. And when they make contact and I tell them I not interested-they don't go away but continue with their stupid sales pitch.

On Sunday morning, a gray Honda Accord parked in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street had a shatter

I don't condone the vandals behavior...but if you are dumb enough to park your car on Mass Street, knowing that if KU wins the game 40,000+ people are going to flood the streets to celebrate, you are partly to blame for parking your car where you know their is a VERY good chance it is going to be damaged. Just like tonight...if you don't want your car damaged, don't park on Mass. A little bit of common sense could have gone along way to avoid this.
