The City of Lawrence is requesting that members of the public submit ideas for improvement projects as the city begins work on its 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan.

The city works each year to prepare a five-year improvement plan for infrastructure-related projects that have an estimated cost of $100,000 or more. Those projects can include repairs or improvements to existing infrastructure, like streets, parks or city facilities; or the acquisition or construction of new infrastructure, like new traffic signals, fire stations or roundabouts.

Residents can submit a request for either specific projects with a life expectancy of more than two years or projects that will be funded through the creation of benefit districts that will involve city participation.

The submission deadline is 5 p.m. on Feb. 21. Materials can be submitted electronically through the website or completed in person with the Finance Department at City Hall, 6 East Sixth St.
