Hi all:<br>
K.U. has told the City that the "high volume street" they want would
be a corridor along Mississippi St from 11th to 9th, and along 9th
St from Mississippi to downtown.<br>
<br>
9th Street is already a multi-modal street, though poorly designed.
It's being planned for an upgrade along with construction of the
Jayhawk Watershed Stormwater project. The City Assistant Director
of MSO, Melinda Harger, told me that they also want a 9th Street
design to coordinate with K.U. plans.<br>
<br>
Sustainability Action Network (group I'm with) has proposed the
attached design for 9th Street, to match the motor vehicle lanes
with those west of Mississippi St., and include protected bicycle
lanes. 9th Street has the highest collision rate of any street
between bicycles and motor vehicles (including one death).<br>
<br>
As a K.U. corridor to downtown, 9th Street needs to address bicycle
and pedestrian safety, not just motor vehicle use - IMO.<br>

some of you may be aware, KU has announced another
gateway project and football expansion at 11th and
Mississippi streets. This expansion may include a
multi-purpose year round conference center, retail
space, medical offices, and perhaps a hotel at a
later date. A developer has purchased neighborhood
property at 1030 Maine, directly north of the
stadium. Chancellor Girod has stated Mississippi
Street between Ninth and Fambrough will be a "high
volume street." <br>
<br>
Neighborhood organizations from Old West Lawrence,
OREAD, West Hills, and University Heights have
formed a multi-neighborhood exploratory group to
gather information both from KU and the City
regarding the development at 11th and Mississippi.
While these four neighborhoods are in close
proximity to the area targeted, KU’s plans are a
citywide concern. If your neighborhood LAN
representative is interested in joining the
multi-neighborhood group, please contact Katy
