Sound Off: Stoplight timing
HA! try the other side of town.
the stop light in front of wal mart on 6th st (congressional-the one the city paid for so that walmart could have its very own stop light) is ridiculous. It always give the right of way to congressional, even though 6th street IS hwy40. I often see 20 cars stopping to let 1 car pass through the intersection. very dangerous trying to slow down big trucks coming down the hill (east bound)... a real liability during winter months with icy conditions...even driving 20mph you slide downhill. The sensors are also faulty. during any kind of misty or freezing rain, the sensors freeze over and 'detect' a false traffic signature ( ghost image) from the north side of congressional, stopping traffic on 6th street for 5 minutes whilst motorists pile up at the light, trying to figure out why the signal cycled without any north-south traffic-then wondering whether to run thru like everyone else? or obey the law and wait for an eternity? Way to go lawrence
a real 'green' community. the more trucks and cars that start and stop and idle, the more exhaust. Not to mention the additional expense to the motorist in wasting gasoline, sitting at a light. but go ahead-I get paid by the hour! hardy-haR!

Letter: An angry rant
17-years of walmart-free purchasing!
its not that hard.
if all a consumer cares about is 'lowest price', then let the ding dongs buy chinese junk.
once their house is full, and they lost their job, they'll get it.
well, maybe not.

Costs, scope of proposed recreation center escalate
how about the the costs of the 'new' fire station that will be required to protect this center?
you know that is coming next, folks..
please city commissioners, bail out of this one. it stinks to high heaven. thank you Mike amyx for at least trying to understand that NO lawrence taxpayers want this... only developers and KU-endowment silver spooners... please go somewhere else.
and at least let compton put in a bid!

Details on proposed city/KU sports complex emerging; deal likely won't involve standard bidding process
let KU and Fritzel build and maintain this circus. City of Lawrence should have nothing to do with it. Thanks, Mike for thinking of us. No bid process? what is this, a monarchy? I realize that the endowment is private and can hire whomever they chose, but the city should therefore cease to have anything to do with it. Even if there were a proper bid process, I don't think a majority of taxpayers support this project. send it to the ballot.

City begins delivering trash carts
I am surprised that we don't have a new tax on these carts....they do have wheels.
just wait for a city inspection team to come out and start giving you fines. fine for 'breaking' the lid on their trashcart. you'll see, they'll charge you $150 for a new one every few years.
I just can't pay enough already, what with my $38 charge for sewer vs. my $8.50 actual water usage....
can you imagine McDonalds getting on this tip? yeah, you can buy a big mac for $4.00 but you also have to pay a $22.00 excre. fee if you use the toilets here. what a deal.
can I get a TIF?
or an amen?
