Road to Ruin

Debate over potential repercussions of South Lawrence Trafficway route through the wetlands is poisonous as ever

In Lawrence, ain't no issue that puts fire in the bellies of the citizens quite like this one: Should a highway be built through the wetlands south of town?

Or the SLT would provide a long overdue route around town, clearing up the grinding traffic on 23rd Street. Perhaps it would do both. The question is... which is more important?
