City Commission votes on first transit changes

City commissioners approved last night the first round of recommendations for coordinating the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels. The main change in the proposal included combining KU routes 24, 31st and Iowa, and 25, Downtown, with city route 8 to make a new route 11.

Tom Braddock, assistant transportation planner for Olsson Associates, said the recommendations would be in place by August to accommodate students coming back to the University. He said the changes might also be implemented as soon as June or July to work out any problems that may arise because of the new routes.

“I think we have seen a very, very positive response from both KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit system,” Braddock said. “Looking forward, I think we can expect to see even more positive response.”
