The Lawrence, Kansas Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Protection is preparing a report that it hopes to present to Lawrence city commissioners sometime in March.
One of the proposals, among many, is “Equipping police cars with bike racks so that it would be easier for police officers to do bike patrols in the city.”
