Need help with snow removal?

Need help clearing walkways during winter weather? Or want to volunteer to remove snow for others? The Senior Resource Center and the City of Lawrence have partnered to help people clear their public sidewalks. The program is a resource for community members who are physically unable to keep their sidewalks clear during snow events.

For information, call Larry at (785)-727-7875 or email contact@YourSRC.org. The goal of the Safe Winter Walkways program is to create safer and more accessible pedestrian walkways, and it is a structured version of what already happens in many neighborhoods – neighbors helping neighbors.

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
