City looks at Lincoln mall for ideas
By JENNIFER LISTON Staff Reporter
Lawrence city officials toured a new downtown shopping complex in Lincoln, Neb. Monday, looking for ideas to improve Lawrence's downtown shopping area.
Mayor Ed Carter, City Commissioner Bob Schumm, City Manager Buford Watson and Robin Eversole, director of KU University Relations, were in Lincoln Monday and Tuesday to attend a forum on campus to make a difference. University and city officials meet yearly to discuss the effects the schools have on the cities.
Representatives to the conference toured the city's Lincoln Center after a discussion about the problems the city bad building the mall.
"Our position now is very,very
similar to the position they were in." Schumann said. "We've retracted their opinions."
'It's a reinforcement to us to know we're doing it right.'
Lincoln's new mall is one-block of small shops connected to two depart- stores by enclosed walk-ways, Schumm said.
Consultants hired last month by the Lawrence City Commission recommended adding two major department buildings of building a proposed downtown mail.
Schumm said Lawrence would not copy Lincoln's approach but would use the city's ideas for financing and soliciting public opinion.
"All of us know the university has a big impact on the city," Watson said.
City representatives to the conference listened to Lincoln and universities of Nebraska officials talk about budget and problems from the university.
Big Eight universities benefit their cities by providing research information to private companies and to the public, Watson said.
The cities benefit from student spending, he said, and from the number of students who serve as part-time workers.
University sports events also draw many visitors, Watson said, and those visitors have a big effect on city economies.
Lincoln representatives talked about how they attract visitors and encourage more spending in the city around sports events, he said.
