Landplan Engineering, P. A.

Home Depot

Lawrence, Kansas

This 20-acre commercial development is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of 31st and Iowa Streets, one of the busiest intersections in the city of Lawrence with 20,000 vehicles in the peak hours. Landplan developed the master plan for the site for Home Depot, Best Buy and six outlots. The parking lot provides both vehicular and pedestrian access to the site and provides a total of 780 parking stalls (490 Home Depot, 159 Best Buy and the balance for the outlots).

Traffic was the main impetus for determining access to the site and adjacent developments. Thirty-First Street was improved to provide enhanced access to commercial development across the street from Home Depot. The City of Lawrence has won an award for the design and function of 31st Street to handle the large traffic volumes.
