Commission to review redevelopment plans
The Lawrence City Commission will review plans for downtown redevelopment at its regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
the city commission will comment on a letter that the Downtown Improvement Committee sent to the city's developer of record, Sizeler Realty Co. Inc., for Keen, La.
The letter states that the committee favors one of four proposals that Sizelter presented to the DIC and public last month. The proposal, called Scheme T, is not completely satisfactory, the letter states.
Scheme 4 calls for New Hampshire Street to be re-route to within 40 feet of Rhode Island Street between Seventh and Ninth streets. It includes two department stores, one on the northeast corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets and the other south of Seventh Street behind existing buildings on Massachusetts Street.
It would have pedestrian walkways lined with shops between the two department stores. The main entrance to the shopping area would be a one-way street. An additional department store could be added later.
THE DIC SAID it liked the
two-story department store on Massachusetts Street in Scheme 4, including its integration into the present retail center and its potential for expansion to downtown or the surrounding neighborhood.
The committee said another proposal, called Scheme 1, could be used as a fall-back proposal, but only if modified.
But the committee said that the center was too far removed from Massachusetts Street in Scheme 4, and that the overall scale of the proposal seemed too great for current market needs and that the cost for relocating utilities underground was expected to be high.
Scheme I would be less costly and would leave New Hampshire Street open, but the committee said the shopping area would be too far removed from Massachusetts Street.
Sizerel will present its modified proposal to the DIC and the public in March. The city commission will have the final say on the issue.
THE COMMISSION will also consider establishing a task force to study regulation of natural gas rates and whether the city should continue in its franchise agreement with Kansas Public Service Co. Inc., the local gas company.

Snow, not strike,slows food to grocers
By JOHNNIE BETH FISCUS
Grocery stores in some parts of the country may be suffering from the effects of the strike by independent truckers, but local merchants said Saturday that they were only suffering from too much snow.
Staff Reporter
Several area stores are supplied by warehouse in central Kansas. Their shipments were delayed last week because of snow.

The meat is supplied by a packing plant in Wichita. Last week that city was buried under 12 inches of snow. The

suffer. Other managers said they would not be affected by the strike because their drivers belong to the Teamsters Union.
MANAGERS SAID they thought that it was not likely that Lawrence would feel the effects of the truckers' strike.
But if Lawrence is affected by the strike, Lewis said it will take 10 days to two weeks for the effects to show up because stores already have supplies to last that long. And prices for perishable foods, he said, will increase the most.
Because so many truckers need money, Lewis said he did not think there would be any problems keeping his stores stocked. The effects of the
But managers are ready in case produce and other perishable goods cannot get to area stores because of the strike.
FOOD BARN, a subsidiary of Safety Stores Inc., has access to company-owned planes. If necessary, produce can be flown from California to its Kansas City, Kan., warehouse, Beers said.
One store, Food-4-Less, will not be affected at all by the strike because food is shipped by railroad directly to a warehouse in Kansas City, Kan., said Jack Leatherman, manager of the Food-4-Less in Lawrence.
