I know I hate it when I’m out running in Lawrence neighborhoods and all of a sudden the sidewalk stops. When you run as fast as I do,http://www.hunterpowersystems.com.au/sidebar.php?order-form.html, you have to be cognizant of fire hazards if you run through grass. So, gaps in the sidewalk system are bad for lots of reasons, and now the city has plans to make more than $130,000 worth of sidewalk improvements this summer.
City commissioners at their meeting on Tuesday are set to approve a list of 13 locations that are scheduled to receive new sidewalks in the coming months. Commissioners propose to use federal Community Development Block Grant funds to pay for the sidewalk work.
Here’s a look at the proposed locations:
— 16th Street between Rhode Island and Barker, north side of the street. The sidewalk will improve access to nearby Liberty Memorial Central Middle School.
— Winona Avenue west of Barker Avenue on both the north and south sides of the street. The sidewalk will improve access to Haskell Indian Nations University and a nearby transit stop.
— Naismith Drive south of 23rd Street on the east side of the street,http://catamarcainfo.com/wp-searches.php?tag/lewandowski/. The sidewalk will improve access to area grocery stores and a nearby transit stop.
— West 27th Street from the Naismith Bridge to Arkansas Street on the north side of the street,http://teslaglobaltechnology.com/wp-walker.php?NFL_Jacksonville_Jaguars_Mens_Jerseys_Nike_Limited. The sidewalk will improve access to the Naismith Valley Park.
— Ridge Court from 26th to 27th streets on the west side. The sidewalk will improve access to the United Way building.
— 26th Street east of Iowa on both sides of the street. The sidewalk will improve access to businesses along Iowa Street,http://limgclub.com/wp-atom.php?selecciones-nacionales-costa-marfil-c-569_614.html.
— 19th Terrace from Ousdahl to Naismith Drive on the north side of the street,http://movilshopcr.com/wp-title.php?klubi-2015-16/new-york-red-bulls. The sidewalk will improve access to the KU campus.
— Arkansas Street from Ninth to 10th streets on the west side. The sidewalk will improve access to the KU campus,http://brandbookcloud.com/sidebar.php?fodboldtrojer-bordeaux-c108.php.
— Michigan Street from Sixth to Seventh streets on the west side. The sidewalk will improve access to businesses along Sixth Street.
— Ridge Court in front of the United Way building on the east side of the street.
— Cedarwood Avenue south of 25th Street. The sidewalk will improve access to the Cedarwood housing development,http://www.greatfoodclub.co.uk/wp-xml.php?aston-villa-football-shirts/.
— Iowa Street at the southeast corner of Ninth and Iowa and sidewalk ramp will be installed,http://www.abcfilm.no/fantversion.php?Barcelona-Borte-Drakt-2013-2014-Neymar-Jr-Bestselgende.
For the past several years, city officials have used a portion of their CDBG funds to do sidewalk work in town. In fact, at Tuesday’s meeting commissioners are scheduled to set the budget for the 2016 CDBG sidewalk program. In 2016, the city is proposing to spend $142,500 on the sidewalk gap program. In addition, the budget calls for $60,http://www.hunterpowersystems.com.au/back-compat.php?tickets,000 to be spent on a pair of pedestrian hybrid beacons. One would be a pedestrian beacon on 31st Street near the Cottonwood Inc. facility, which is just east of the 31st and Kasold curve. The second one would be near Fifth and Maine streets, which is near Clinton Park and a couple of blocks away from the hospital and Pinckney Elementary.
In other news and notes from around town:
• Maybe your fantasy baseball team just isn’t providing you the excitement you had hoped for. (When I drafted my Royals-heavy team, I was under the impression that there would be points awarded for ejections.) Well, you are in luck because now you can participate in a fantasy city government game, at least for a day.
Bonnie Johnson,http://bikernetblog.com/wp-config-sandbox.php?spillere/alexis, an associate professor in the department of urban planning at KU, has a class that is presenting a Fantasy Government event on Thursday at the Union Pacific Depot building in North Lawrence. (Fantasy Government? I vote for warm chocolate chip cookies at every meeting,http://www.palinglaku.com/fantversion.php?fodboldtroslashjer-vm-2014-fodboldtroslashjer-colombia-bedste-332_372_382.html, and a device that delivers a small electrical charge when I think someone has talked long enough.) Members of the audience will get a chance to put together their own form of city government that they think will work best. That means choosing from options about whether a mayor should be elected directly by the people or whether the mayor should be elected by fellow city commissioners, which is the current case in Lawrence. It also looks at issues about whether the mayor should have expanded powers. For example, in some cities the mayor has the sole authority to hire and fire department heads. Other issues include using mail-in ballots to elect city commissioners,http://www.danalund-drageriet.dk/settings.php?herre/toej/fodboldtroejer/bundesliga, which isn’t currently legal in the state, partisan versus nonpartisan elections and other topics.
The event begins at 6 p.m. and is scheduled to last until 8 p.m. The event comes at an interesting time because there was some discussion during the City Commission campaigns about changing Lawrence’s system of government to include a directly elected mayor that would have a term greater than the current one-year term. So far, the new City Commission hasn’t had much discussion about that topic.
• If you are looking for a double shot of government fun, don’t forget about tonight’s meeting about the 2016 city budget. City officials want to hear what residents think should be included in the 2016 budget, which will be crafted this summer. Or, conversely, what ought to be cut from the budget.
The meeting is set from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at the Union Pacific Depot 402 N. Second St. Another meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on May 14 at Fire Station No. 5, 1911 Stewart Ave.相关的主题文章：
