Lawrence City Commission adopts Oread Redevelopment Project

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Cynthia Boecker, assistant city manager, said Yellow Sub and the Crossing would be eligible for demolition as soon as the Oread Inn Project obtains a demolition permit sometime today.

Houses at 1140, 1142 and 1144 on Indiana Street and 618, 619 and 620 on West 12th Street will also be demolished.

Paul Werner, an architect working on the project, said last week that the demolition phase should begin sometime today. He also said that the construction phase should begin sometime in the middle of May.

He said he hoped the Oread Inn would be finished by January of 2010, but that it would most likely take a little longer.

Boecker said 12th Street would be closed to westbound traffic and Indiana Street would be closed to southbound traffic during the demolition phase, but she said she wasn’t sure when exactly they would be closed.

“They should be closed sometime in the next few weeks, she said.

No one involved with the project was available Tuesday night for comment.
