Transportation 2050 (T2050) is a vision for a healthy, safe, and efficient Transportation system, which adequately serves Lawrence, Eudora, Baldwin City, Lecompton, and unincorporated areas of Douglas County. The plan can be amended as new projects, funding, or programs occur.
An amendment to T2050 has been requested by the City of Eudora after it was awarded funding as part of the USDOT 2023 RAISE grant program. The Church Street Community Connectivity and Multimodal Enhancement Project is currently listed on the illustrative list and Amendment #1 would move this into the T2050 fiscally constrained project list.
Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Public Participation Plan requires proposed Transportation 2050 minor amendments to move projects from the illustrative list to the fiscally constrained list be released for 15-day public comment and review. The public comment period will begin on September 7 and will end on September 21. Comments received will be considered and presented to the MPO Policy Board at their October 19 meeting at 3 PM.
The draft Transportation 2050 Amendment 1 will be available for public review at: lawrenceks.org/mpo/t2050, Lecompton City Hall, Baldwin City Public Library, Eudora City Hall, Lawrence Public Library, Lawrence City Hall Riverfront – Planning & Development Services Office.
Written comments may be sent to mpo@lawrenceks.org or Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization, PO Box 708, Lawrence, KS 66044.
