Lawrence Approves Bicycle Infrastructure Plan, Excluding Kentucky and Tennessee Streets
What happened
The Lawrence City Commission voted 4-0 to adopt an updated Bikes Plan, which will guide bicycle infrastructure improvements in the community. The plan, which was last updated in 2019, identifies priority and secondary networks for projects. However, the plan does not include streets in Kentucky or Tennessee, even though some one-way streets in those states are part of the high-injury network.

The Bikes Plan serves as the framework for the city to fund and seek grants for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects. The plan’s scope highlights the distinction between the city’s prioritized networks and the high-injury areas in Kentucky and Tennessee.
