Traffic booth study travels on
Proposed move would increase access to Kansas Union
By BEN JOHNSTON
Staff writer
A proposal to move a traffic-control booth on Jayhawk Boulevard to improve access to the Kansas Union and other buildings is being studied by officials, but no date has been set for a decision.
"Right now we are flexible," said Marci Francisco, assistant director of facilities planning. "We are really interested in finding out more information. We have a capital improvements meeting at the end of March." We may decide the issue or we may not even discuss it."
Last year a parking consultant hired by the University of Kansas recommended that the traffic-control booth on Jayhawk Boulevard at 13th Street be moved south to 14th Street.
The change would give visitors better access to popular attractions.
Museum of Natural History, and make parking easier near scholarship halls on the northeast side of campus.
The facilities planning department is reviewing the recommendation after the Lippincott and Northeast Campus committee decided this month that the proposal needed to be studied for its impact on the northeast side of campus. The Lippincott committee is part of the University space committee, which examines how development will affect campus areas.
Francisco said facilities planning would review a variety of alternatives for the booth, including moving it even farther down Jayhawk Boulevard to Sunflower Boulevard, between Watson Library and Stauffart-Flint Hall. The decision will be based on what is best for the campus, Francisco said.
"The proposal is in conflict with
the initial goal of reducing vehicular and pedestrian conflict," Francisco said. "But we have to look at making it easier for buses loading and unloading in front of the union and providing better access to the scholarship halls, but we may not even need to move the booth to solve the scholarship hall problem."
Philip Humphrey, director of the museum and a member of the Lippincott committee, said he supported the committee's decision to have facilities planning study the proposal because he was uncertain whether the change would be beneficial.
Before the booth can be moved, facilities planning must make a recommendation to the Lippincott committee, and the Lippincott committee must make a recommendation to the space committee, whose chairman will make the final decision.
