City receives street funding
By Tara Trenary
Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence City Commission accepted $600,000 from the Kansas Department of Transportation for improvements at the intersection of 23rd and Massachusetts streets last night at the city commission meeting.
"We have an accident problem," said Terese Gorman,
Lawrence city engineer.
Improvements on 23rd Street would include a separate north left turning lane from Massachusetts Street to Vermont Street, and a separate, but much shorter, south left turning lane.
left turning lane, she said. Also, the south free-swinging right turning lane would be eliminated, and half of the north side and half of the south side of the 2nd Street would be widened.
There would also be a new traffic signal, Gorman said.
In order to implement the changes, the city may have to acquire property in this area.
she said, which may pose a problem to some area residents because the streets would be widened closer to their homes.
"Every time there is an accident, I see it," said Bo March, who lives near the southwest corner of 23rd and Massachusetts streets. "This is a recipe for disaster."
Dick Lynch, trustee for a house at 2301 Massachusetts St., said that the street was already close enough to the residences near the intersection.
"If you move it any closer, someone could reach in the window and get a cup of coffee," he said.
March also said that the changes would funnel Barker Street traffic through Massachusetts Street because Massachusetts Street would be the easier route in and out of Haskell Indian Nations University, which would make things much worse for residents trying to leave their homes in that area.
Barker Street is three blocks east of Massachusetts Street, and is an entrance road to Haskell.
Residents agreed that there was an accident problem at the intersection but said that the proposed plan was not the answer.
The commission accepted the money but will not finalize plans for improvements until bids have been received.
The commission will decide the issue at a later date. In other business, the commission:
■ voted to establish yield signs on 12th Street at Pennsylvania Street
- accepted a site plan for a Texaco Convenience Store at 1802 W. 23rd St.
