Corridor Studies

Although transportation planners are responsible for developing plans which examine the entire community, it is necessary sometimes to view certain corridors individually. The following is a series of completed and ongoing corridor studies in the Lawrence/Douglas County Area.

23rd Street Major Corridor Study

In 1999, the City of Lawrence commissioned TranSystems, Landplan Engineering and Jane Mobley Associates to conduct a Major Corridor Study of 23rd Street (Kansas Highway 10) between Iowa Street (U.S. 59) and Noria Road (E 1750 Rd.) A final draft of the study was completed by the Lawrence/Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Office and has produced two series of public meetings and much discussion about the future of 23rd Street. The chapters of the study may be viewed in pdf below:

31st Street Corridor Study

The City of Lawrence and Douglas County, Kansas have commissioned TranSystems to produce a corridor feasibility of 31st Street from Iowa (U.S. 59) to Kansas Highway 10. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the existing roadway from Iowa to Haskell and investigate future improvements which will help traffic flow and congestion.

K-10/South Lawrence Trafficway Study

The Kansas Department of Transportation, Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff (HNTB), and The Osprey Group are working to study the possibility of completing the South Lawrence Trafficway from Iowa (U.S. 59) to Kansas Highway 10. The project is in its initial phases, and work is progressing on stakeholder identification, the Environmental Impact Statement, and potential alignments.

As part of the study, the Lawrence/Douglas County MPO formed a subcommittee in order to study the SLT corridor for its impact on land use. As a result, the South Lawrence Trafficway Land Use Committee released both a Majority Report and a Minority Report stating the majority and dissenting opinion statements.
