Planned improvements include lengthening of the left turn lane on 19th

Street west of Louisiana to Alabama, and construction of a bus turnout
lane on Louisiana south of 19th Street.  The city will accept bids in
February.  Waterline work could occur in the spring and road work will
occur June 1 to July 31.  Visitors to the area can also expect to see
paving work on 19th Street in 2008.  City staff will be available to

The improvements have been designed using the input from representatives
of Lawrence High School and Cordley Elementary School.  The city has
also had discussion with Old West Lawrence, University Place, and
Centennial neighborhood associations as well as feedback during two
public meetings.
