Lawrence will always persevere, and we know what we value, Mayor Courtney Shipley said during her State of the City address on Tuesday. Reflecting on the past year, she spoke of lessons learned throughout the pandemic. “We hope COVID is waning, but the experience of the Unified Command has really taught us how to keep our relationships with our partners stronger in a way I don’t think that we ever have before,” she said. “So as unfortunate as it was, we learned some valuable lessons. We’re working smarter, not harder, with our partners.” Shipley noted the city’s multimodal transfer hub coming soon to Bob Billings Parkway and Crestline Drive, grants the city has received to purchase electronic buses, and unique bus stops. But there could be more transit updates still to come.
