Streets near stadium to convert to one way

Police Department.
Wheeler said the Lawrence Police Department did not allow officers to take game days off. Two shifts, with about 50 officers, will be working during tomorrow's game.
"We put as many officers as we can on bicycle, motorcycle and foot patrol," Wheeler said. "We want them to have access to the streets."
Some streets near the stadium will convert into one-way, no parking or bus parking zones. Wheeler said Lawrence officers would post signs 24 hours in advance so residents could adjust accordingly.
Vehicles in violation of the temporary traffic guidelines will be towed
Some students hope to take advantage of the limited parking at Memorial Stadium. Many area residents will be selling parking spaces in their front yards.
Brooke Corcoran, Fort Dodge, Iowa, junior, lives three blocks from the stadium on Maine Street. Corcoran said she and her roommates planned to peddle about 24 spaces in their yard.
"They're going to be jammed in here," she said.
Corcoran said she planned to

- Don't park on the sidewalk or in front of "No Parking" signs or fire hydrants. You will be towed.

charge between $7 and $15 for each space.
"We'll probably start out high and bargain," she said.
The Lawrence Bus Co. is offering another alternative. It will be operating shuttle buses from the parking garage and Lot 90 by Robinson Center to Memorial Stadium. Fans will be able to park for free and then ride to the stadium for $1 each way.
"Fans need to understand that the lots closest to the stadium fill up very quickly," Mailen said. "It would be a smart idea to park in a shuttle area and ride the bus to the game."

Stolen parking tag fee leaps to $75
Erinn R. Barcomb Special to the Kansan
A stolen parking permit is no longer just a $3 inconvenience.
In the past, that was how much it cost to replace a stolen parking permit. Beginning this semester, students must pay the full $75.
"One of the rules we had contributed to the reporting of stolen tags. The way we had it set up, it was cheaper if it was stolen," said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said 42 permits were reported stolen between August 1998 and May 1999.
New computer software has made it possible for hand-held ticket writers to recognize lost or stolen permits that have been registered with the department while the machine is issuing a ticket.
A car using a lost or stolen permit will be towed, the owner of the vehicle will be fined $65 and the police will be notified.
The parking department has asked to be notified if a permit is lost or stolen. A police report must be filed if the permit is stolen, and the department recommended that students file a report for missing permits as well.
A pro-rated refund is available for the second permit if the lost or stolen permit is recovered.
Hultine said KU public safety officers pushed for stickers, while Chancellor Robert Memenway wanted to offer students a choice.
The possibility of theft increases when students have purchased hang tags instead of stickers. Students with hang tag parking permits do have a way to keep their $75 commodities safe, though. Free plastic locks are available from

think twice," Hutine said. She said students who preferred hang tags liked their mobility.
"Most of the people who have hang tags are people who want to move them from car to car," Hultine said.
She suggested that students who car pool and share a permit should make one person responsible for the tag. Drivers in violation are ticketed by the permit, not by the vehicle.
Tenants lose parking to fans during games

Saul Heide had visions of tailgating with friends before home football games when he moved into his stadium-side apartment last month.
But those dreams faded away when Heide, Downs sophomore, read in his lease that he would not have access to his house's parking lot during home-game days.
He is one of six tenants who live in the house at 1031 Mississippi St., directly northeast of Memorial Stadium.

Mark Lehman, owner of L&S Management, which owns the house, said he would rent parking spaces in the lot usually used by tenants.

Lehman said his company recently took over the property, and tomorrow would be his first time to rent spaces to football spectators.
However, he said the previous owner rented the spaces in past years.
Lehman said the previous owner also would be there tomorrow to assist in managing the lot.
Heide said he and the other tenants must have their vehicles out of the lot by 9 a.m. or they will be fined.
Heide said he plans on parking his car at his sister's house on Ohio Street and walking several blocks back to his apartment.
"I'm pretty upset because I was looking forward to having a bunch of friends over to do some tailgating," he said. "It's so close it would be really convenient."
