During the recent City of Lawrence meeting, officials discussed ongoing safety concerns regarding Rainbow Lane, highlighting the need for immediate action to address a problematic corner. Public Works Director Renee Rafla reported that the city’s street director, Jim Hennigan, is developing a plan to tackle the issue, although updates have been sparse due to recent vacations.

The contractor involved in the project has acknowledged the safety risks at the site and is expected to consult with his organization about potential solutions. While the contractor is not legally obligated to make changes, the emphasis on reputation suggests a commitment to community safety.

This discussion underscores the city’s proactive approach to addressing infrastructure concerns that directly impact residents' safety. As the situation develops, the community will be looking for timely updates and effective resolutions to ensure safer travel along Rainbow Lane.
