The city is hosting a second open house to get community feedback on projects to strengthen the North Lawrence neighborhood.
The event is part of the city’s North Lawrence Corridor Study, which also includes parts of Grant Township. It will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 8 at Venue 1235, 1235 N. Third St. Folks can come and go, as there won’t be a formal presentation.
“At this event, there will be project boards displaying information gathered and developed by the project team for review,” according to a city newsletter. “We will be asking for feedback and input on your priorities.”
This will be the project’s second open house following a community visioning session and months of public task force meetings. The city is paying Kansas City, Missouri-based HNTB Corporation $400,000 to run the study.
The task force discussed a few development ideas at their June 10 meeting, including a residential-commercial I-70 business park and opening up the riverfront. Members also spoke to transportation improvements, such as new bridges or rerouting the railroad to bypass North Lawrence.
