The City of Lawrence would like to welcome you to attend a public overview presentation on Complete Streets. Complete Streets are planned, designed and operated to enable efficient and safe access for all users. Ideally, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities should be able to conveniently travel along and across any street.

In an effort to help the citizens of Lawrence further the discussion of Complete Streets, the City of Lawrence will offer an overview presentation on Complete Streets to provide a background on the benefits of Complete Streets, dispel myths, explain how existing streets can be retrofitted into Complete Streets, and detail how a Complete Streets policy can even save residents money.

A Complete Streets presentation by Carol Kachadoorian, senior planner with the National Complete Streets Coalition will present a presentation on Wednesday, September 29 from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. in the Lawrence City Commission Room, 6 E. 6th Street. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

Carol Kachadoorian is a planner with nearly 30 years of experience in local government, policy development, government relations, and multi-modal transportation planning. She has worked on a number of complete streets projects and is the lead contributor of information on pedestrian and bicyclist access for a Transportation Cooperative Research Program project developing a guidebook for various access modes to high capacity transit stations.

This workshop is sponsored by the Lawrence Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization and the City of Lawrence in partnership with the Douglas County Community Foundation’s Live Well Lawrence Initiative. Please contact Jessica Mortinger at [email protected] or 785-832-3165 with questions.
