Downtown plan offered
By DALE WETZEL Staff Reporter
A future revamping of downtown Lawrence advanced a step yesterday, when the city received a draft amendment for a comprehensive remodeling plan.
Garner Stoll, city planning director,
said the proposal from Robert Teska
mrs. of Evanston, Ill., was
"about what I expected," except for its
price tag.
"It costs a bit more than I was anticipating, but it's close," Stoll said. "We might be looking for a leaner proposal."
The draft agreement, which Stoll received Monday night, set $4,200 as the maximum amount Teska consultants can receive.
He said a local non-profit group, Action 80, had already spent $60,000 on traffic access studies in the downtown area, using traffic consultants. The Teska plan calls for spending $5,000 in access studies.
Stoll said it was possible there was some overlap between Teska's proposals and studies the city had already performed.
"There is a question about whether it is all needed. We'll have to study the plan a bit to find out." Stoll said.
Testa also proposed spending $1,100 on 200 fold-out brochures explaining the comprehensive plan.
"We might be able to get by with just a technical report on that one," Stoll said.
The plan incorporates provisions for public input into the City Commission's final planning decision. These include interviews with the general public and special-interest groups, "listening people and property owners affected by the plan, two workshops and a television call-in show.
