City Commission to resolve access to riverside mall
By Deb Gruver Kansan staff writer
After many deferrals, the Lawrence City Commission is expected to decide at its meeting tonight whether traffic into the riverfront project will be two-way or one-way.
During last Tuesday's meeting, Commissioner Sandy Drapea agreed that it was imperative for the commission to come to a decision.
The path to the decision has been a long one. The issue has turned up on the commission's agenda for a good part of the fall. Several traffic studies boarded by the commission, but the decision was deferred continually.
"We have enough information to come to a decision." Praeger said. "This has to be resolved."
The developers of the project, the Chelsea Group, made their plea to the commission last week and were opposed by a paid traffic consultant hired by the city, Paul Bertrand of George Butler Associates.

PRESENTATIONS
While the Chelsea Group will be pushing tonight for approval of two-way access to the outlet shopping center, Lawrence resident Mark Creamer will be making his own presentation.
Creamer, a local plumbing contractor who studied engineering in college, has presented several traffic plans to the commission and said that the Chelsea's proposed two-way version would not work.
"It is a temporary plan," Creamer said. "I think that eventually the plan would not accommodate the increase in traffic."
In the study that he submitted to the commission, Creamer wrote, "$100,000 could change things and suit today's traffic, but will it take another $150,000 to change them back in five years from now?"
"It comes down to what the commission wants to do." Wildden said. "They have to weigh what's best for them and what their job will be tomorrow night."
Creamer said that although his proposal had satisfied all the conditions the commission had mapped with indifference by the commission.
"I am not saying that mine is the only solution, or the best, but it will work," Creamer said. "I thought as soon as they'd see it, they'd say, 'Oh yeah, why didn't we think of this?'
What Creamer is proposing is a one-way loop that would lead to the riverfront project.
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said yesterday that any traffic plan had advantages and disadvantages.
His loop would have drivers travel south along Vermont Street, hit Eleventh Street and then curve back north to New Hampshire Street. Creamer said that the loop would not only provide good access to the center, but create about 150 parking spaces at the rate of about two diagonals for every one parallel space.
Creamer also said that Chelsea's two-way plan wouldn't allow as quick access to the riverfront project as commissioners thought.
Last Tuesday, the commissioners seemed in favor of approving the Chelsea plan, but only tonight's meeting will determine the outcome.

McCalmon said that Colorado had the option to give out parking stickers that his office paid for.
However, Nebraska can give free passes in the summer and void parking meter tickets, said Barbara Moynihan, associate director of admissions.
The University of Nebraska and the University of Colorado both have metered spaces also.
Beginning this year, KU requires anyone visiting the University during the summer or the academic year to park in metered spaces.
W. Wes Williams, dean of education services at KU, asked the group, "Do visitors to campus pay a parking fee to visit your office?"

Admissions discussed Big Eight registrars meet informally at KU
HALF PRICE FOR KU STUDENTS
About that many admissions directors, registrars and record directors from the Big Eight schools and the University of Iowa met informally to discuss how they handled some of the issues that affect admissions and records offices.
The group has met once a year at different campuses for 26 years, said Gary Smith, director of admissions at Rutgers at the University of Missouri.
The meeting was a round-table discussion based on a list of questions submitted by the participants.
The meeting continues this morning.
truce Lindvall, director of admissions at the University of Kansas, said the meeting gave the officials a chance to explain their intention to common problems.
For example, the group discussed how to increase minority recruitment. Richard Elkins, director of
Smith said that when he took a poh of 142 black students who were admitted to MU but decided to go to another school, each said a larger financial offer from the other school was the reason.
Other topics of discussion at the meeting included charging students for add/drop, entry-level salaries for office staff and different methods of recording transfer credit.
admissions at Kansas State University offered an answer: "One word — money."
"Every single response was dollars." Smith said.
Byron McCalmon, associate vice chancellor at the University of Colorado, suggested that heavy recruiting was the key, regardless of its
"It's expensive, but that's not the reason as far as we're concerned," he said. "The issue is just to get out there and do it."
Elkins said that part of the problem was the competition among each person in the room for minority students.
"It's the same pool, and we're all burying each other to death," Elkins said.

Before 1982, when Iowa Bee Processors built one of the world's largest beef packing plants about seven miles west of Garden City in Holcomb, the farming trade seasonally drew migrant workers to the town.
Some workers, many of Hispanic decent, would leave town with the passing of the harvest. But many stayed. Some Hispanics moved to Garden City early in the century following the Mexican Revolution.
Stull said some resentment
toward the newcomers existed among the established Hispanic population, though little of it was pwer.
The white community of Garden City, many who watched their town expand by more than a third, and the other large towns, the new Garden City, Stall said.
"Among the service-providing professionals — educators, clergy and the like — many believe the community has benefited from the economic boom." Stull said. "The general public, the man on the street, tends to be more resistant to the change."
Stull said part of the reason the town folk had adjusted so well is the town's small size.
"In big cities, people can remain isolated in their communities," he said. "But in small towns, you get the same kind of individuals, not as stereotypes."
Tablada said another reason Garden City had adapted so well was because the unemployment rate was about 3 percent.
"When people work side-by-side
Stull said part of the town's cohesion comes from its economic dependence on the beef packing industry.
Kansas is now the world's largest beef packing state thanks mainly to 10 counties in southwestern Kansas.
Five major beef packing plants now are in the area, three in nearby Liberal and Dodge City, Minnesota. Ms. Cissas is the heart of the "Beef Bell."
there's a real sense of togetherness." Tablada said.
A sign a stop of one of the town's tallest buildings reads: "Eat beef, stay slim." It serves as a daily reminder to Garden Citians about what controls the fate of their prosperity.

Stull said that researchers' opinions on intercultural relations in Garden City were incomplete at this point. For now, the city seems to have adjusted to its diversified cultural makeup.
"Garden City is a one-industry town." Stull said.
