Lawrence Loop Completion Feedback Session
2026-02-02 16:30 - 18:30 (America/Chicago) | Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., Lawrence, KS, 66044, United States
The Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is updating the Lawrence Bikes Plan with a focused effort on identifying alignments to close gaps in the Lawrence Loop Shared Use Path. Closing gaps in the loop has been a high priority identified by the public from the previous two engagement opportunities. This phase invites the public to share input on specific segments identified for consideration as part of closing Loop gaps.
Review the identified Lawrence Loop alignment options for consideration and share your input with the Bike Plan Update Steering Committee. Are there concerns or considerations related to these alignments? Provide feedback by attending our open house or sharing comments online to help shape recommendations in the Lawrence Bikes Plan.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started by the watershed advocacy group, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL), in 2003. Read more about the festival’s origins at www.wildandscenicfilmfestival.org/about-the-festival. Since then, it has evolved into the largest environmental film festival in the nation. The annual event each January in Nevada City, CA kicks off the nationwide tour to over 125 cities. We think the films are just too good, and the messages too powerful to keep them to ourselves. Join us on February 27th and see for yourself! Watch the trailer for this year’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival!
All proceeds from the Lawrence event will benefit Friends of the Kaw and our work for the Kansas River.
