Joint bypass pact at hand
By MICHAEL HORAK Staff writer
For more than two hours Monday night, Lawrence City and Douglas County Commissioners haggled over the wording of a proposed joint resolution that would set guidelines for a proposed south Lawrence trafficway.
Although no action was taken at the meeting, both city and county officials said they were closer to reaching an agreement. They agreed to meet at 10:30 a.m. Thursday to discuss the resolution again.
City and county officials have been meeting since Aug. 14, trying to reach an agreement on the details of the 10-page plan that would set guidelines for the 14.3 mile, $38 million bypass.
"It appears to me that we are pretty close to reaching an agreement," City Manager Buford Watson said near the end of the meeting.
They hope to adopt the resolution before a special state legislative session led by Gov. Mike Hayden and then passed by the House, be devoted to Hayden's proposed
$1.58 billion highway package.
City Commissioner Sandra Praeger said she had been told by state officials that the Lawrence project was a Havden priority.
When finished, the trafficway will follow Lawrence's southern border from Highway 10 on the city's east side to Interstate 70 on the city's west
Two issues kept the commissioners from agreeing on the resolution Monday. One was the financing of a proposed study that would look at the feasibility of building an access road connecting the central Lawrence business district with Highway 10, where the proposed bypass would start.
The city wants the county to pay half the costs of the study, but County Commissioner Warren Rhodes said he wanted to know what the study would cost before he would vote to allocate any county money.
City and county officials did not take action on a proposed amendment to the joint resolution. That amendment was passed in the city to be jointly responsible for
setting policies restricting the addition of future access points to the trafficway.
The county's proposal would require majority approval by both the commissions before additional access points could be built. Public hearings, impact and engineering studies and approval by the planning commission would have to occur before the commissioners could vote for more access points.
City commissioners seemed receptive to the amendment, but said they needed more input.
City and county officials did agree, though, to the rewarding of part of the resolution that made the upgrading of Sixth Street/Highway 40 more of a priority once construction of the trafficway starts.
Both commissions agreed to work together to find state financing for the project.
City commissioners left the meeting saying they would discuss changes in the resolution at their weekly meeting tonight and prepare for Thursday's meeting.
