Cost keeps support low Candidates say plan would fail
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER Staff Reporter
Six Lawrence City Commission candidates said last night that if the current downtown redevelopment plan is approved, a public vote today it probably would fail.
About 25 area residents listened to the candidates speak at the Lawrence Public Library in a public forum by the Lawrence Board of Realtors.
The six candidates — Mike Amyx, Ernest Angin, Commissioner Don Bims, David Longhurst, Barbaria Maxwell and Bonita Yoder — are running in the April 5 general election for three open commission seats.
MAYOR MARCI Francisco and David Allen, a KU junior, are running as write-in candidates but were not invited to the forum.
+ The six candidates said that many people had expressed doubts about the redevelopment plan. The plan, called Scheme 4, was accepted Tuesday by the City Commission after it made several recommendations about changing the plan.
The proposed redevelopment would be bounded by Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Financing for the project, expected to occupy several hundred thousand

"Right now cost concerns are keeping a lot of people from supporting the plan," said Yoder, a local attorney. "It's a real challenge. They know how much it will cost them."

Bimns, the only incumbent who ran in the primary, said that the city had not done an adequate job of passing on information about the plan to the public. He said he was confident that his office had been out, "we could get it to speak by."
LONGHURST, OWNER of the House of Usher printing business, said that the issue of downtown redevelopment was not ready to be put to a vote, if one was held, and that work was still in progress to determine many of the project's details.

The downzoning, now being challenged in court, prohibits the building of such structures as apartment houses.
Binns, who was strongly opposed to the downzoning, said that the city commission had passed the downzoning despite protests of property owners. He added that he would see the proposal brought before the commission for reconsideration.
