Street Repairs in Pinckney Neighborhood

City of Lawrence Public Works Project: 2014 Overlay, Patch, and Microsurfacing Program

The City has hired Little Joe’s Asphalt to patch and repairs streets in the Pinckney neighborhood. They will begin milling and patching on Monday, May 5, 2014 on streets generally near 5th/6th & Tennessee St working towards Indiana St. The area generally east of Iowa Street and north of 6th Street encompasses the entire work zone. Traffic impacts include one-lane traffic in most locations with traffic control devices and flaggers. There may be locations that may include partial/full street closures for periods while work is being performed, especially those days that surface treatment work (overlay or microsurfacing) is performed. Streets may be impacted on separate occasions, during the milling and pavement patching and then during the street surface treatment process, for example. The work is anticipated to be completed in August 2014.

• 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.
