## Resource

Ninth Street in Lawrence is back open after a nearly year-long closure for the Jayhawk Watershed project — just in time for the Kansas football opener. The upgrade replaced century-old storm sewers that caused chronic flooding, and redesigned the street from two lanes each way to one lane each direction with a center turn lane — paving the way for future protected bike lanes. While the main artery is flowing again, crews are still finishing up, with lane shifts and minor delays expected on nearby streets like Tennessee and Kentucky, plus some manholes still sticking up in westbound lanes. It’s a major win for drainage, traffic flow, and future cycling infrastructure. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
