SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Lawrence Eastern Parkway Environmental
Impact Study was initiated by the City of Lawrence in 1989. In 1997,
the City elected to withdraw its support and sponsorship of the
Lawrence Eastern Parkway EIS. The City has directed that their staff
bring closure to the study effort. The EIS documentation compiled to
date for the proposed Lawrence Eastern Parkway will become a resource
document and will not be considered a completed study document. There
is agreement that there will be transportation needs that warrant this
improvement in the future. Comments and questions concerning this
proposed action and the EIS should be directed to the FHWA, KDOT, or
the City of Lawrence at the addresses provided.
