The 15-day public comment period for this TIP Amendment starts on September 10 and will end on September 25. This TIP Amendment will come before the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Policy Board for approval on October 21, 2021. The TIP is a multi-year listing of federally funded and/or regionally significant transportation improvement projects. This public notice on the TIP development process satisfies the FTA’s Program of Projects requirements for the Lawrence Transit System.
Approval of this TIP Amendment will include the addition and revision of costs and schedules for roadway, bridge, bicycle/pedestrian projects. It will remove the Wakarusa Dr Reconstruction Project: 6th St to Harvard Rd (#139) and the 27th St Bridge project (#247). This amendment was requested by Lawrence, Douglas County, and Baldwin City. Changes to the TIP text and project tables are being made to reflect these changes and to maintain the fiscally constrained status of this document. Public comments received will be reported and considered by the MPO Policy Board where decisions pertaining to revising this document will be made prior to final approval.
