Forum address issues with parking for students and employees
BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE

Donna Hultine, director of parking, and Angela Lumpkin, parking commission chair, led a forum for parking issues Tuesday at the Kansas Union answering questions about potential changes to the parking system.

"Communication is the key," Lumpkin said. "Parking is on your
KU Dining employees expressed problems with parking during football games when parking at the Kansas Union parking garage is restricted. Morning games and catering events require employees to begin working as early as 3 a.m., sometimes forcing them to park across campus and walk to the Union.
Hultine said the chancellor and
athletics department had the right to reserve that garage and will probably continue to do so because of the revenue from football and basketball patrons.
The forum also addressed concerns about parking at and around scholarship halls.
The land-locked location of scholarship halls limits the opportunities for additional parking.
Those who could not attend the
event were invited to submit then concerns via email for discussion in the forum. A popular write-in request was to avoid an increase in permit costs.
The parking commission submitted three proposals to the provost for consideration — one plan increases permit rates.,ticket fines, meter parking and event parking; one does not increase permit costs, but will raise all others; and one
does not change current parking fees.
"I wish I could report to you about what the provost is going to do." Hultine said.
Consumers also addressed concerns about 24-hour parking at the Union garage, a problem Hultine said was caused by overflow parking from the Oread Hotel. The parking garage at the Union used to be free after 7 p.m., but now charges
all day.
Members of the University Public Safety Office expressed concerns about permit prices for University employees — who have not had a pay raise in three years.
"Even a dollar is really going to touch them in the pocket," said Jeremy Hendrickson of KUPSO.
