lighting pathway project
Completion Date Estimated for January 2012
The sidewalk and ADA ramp portion of the project has been awarded to RD Johnson and work will begin soon.
The signalized pedestrian crosswalks and lights were approved by City Commission on August 23rd. The City is
currently waiting on KU to transfer the remaining money dedicated to the project to the City. Once this occurs,
the City will begin installing the lights and crosswalk signals.
PROJECT: the sidewalk will run parallel to 14th Street on the northside, run parallel to Ohio Street on the westside,
run parallel to 12th Street on the northside, and eventually lead into South Park. Pedestrian crosswalks, similar
to the Lawrence Arts Center crosswalk on New Hampshire, will be located at multiple intersections along the
pathway as will also architecturally designed lighting posts and lighting styles with customized features to
increase safety and have aesthetic value. All sidewalks and lighting features will be located in existing public
easements and the City of Lawrence will own and be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the
pathway.
