Don we need the South Lawrence Trafficway to make 23rd Street safer and to end the traffic nightmare there?
Even KDOT’s own engineers and federal highway officials have conceded that the South Lawrence Trafficway will have no lasting effect on the 23rd Street traffic mess. That congested commercial corridor was created by poor planning decades ago. Highways generate more traffic, not less. Neither 23rd Street nor the SLT will be made any safer if the wetland is paved over.
