$3 paves way to better parking at KU
By JOSEPH REBELLO
Staff writer
A KU parking services decision to raise the price of residence hall parking permits will make residents $3 poorer, but it will buy them the luxury of repaired lots and increased space.
The cost of hall permits will increase from $20 to $23 in the fall. It will help raise the $94,100 needed to improve hall lots, Dear Kearns, director of parking services, said at a forum on campus parking problems. The program was broadcast live by KJH-KFM 91.
“Hardly any of that money will go into parking services but right into the dorm lots.” Kearns said. “In order, we want to resurface all dorm lots.”
Parking lots at Ellsworth and McCollum halls will be repaved in 1988, Kearns said. Also, the unpaved Daisy Hill extension lot on West Campus will be naved for $70,000.
Spaces at those lots will be increased by adjusting the lots for angle parking and by making stall spaces smaller.
All new parking projects will involve the use of smaller spaces designed for angle parking, he said. The measure will ensure a more efficient use of existing parking space.
Parking cars at angles will create room for more stalls and will not
inconvenience users, he said. Cars can enter the spaces easily, and stalls will be wide enough for both doors to be opened fully.
Phillip Duff, a member of the University Parking Board, said that about 600 new spaces would be created this year in the lots north of Allen Field House and near the Kansas Union.
Andrew Torres, another member of the University Parking Board, said funds for parking projects came from three sources: fines, the sale of regular permits and the sale of events at basketball games.
Torres, a professor of botany, said many other universities resolved parking problems by forbidding freshmen to drive cars on campus
and by telling hall residents not to park on campus.
Kearns said the problem with camp parking was not that parking space was scarcity, but that spaces were available where people most wanted them.
"There are some other things that could have been done to solve the problems here," Torres said. "In the coming years we may have to consider some of these very drastic solutions."
Unused space exists at the Daisy Hill extension lot on West Campus, Brady Stanton, student body president, said. The Student Senate Transportation Committee is considering proposals to provide a commuter service to campus for students who park in that lot.
Goals for mall set despite group's dismay
By SALLY STREFF
Special to the Kansas
A somber group of Lawrence citizens, expressing discouragement that their recommendations may never be used, gathered at City Hall last night to set goals for a proposed mall in the 600 block of downtown.
Meeting for the first time were three committees named by the city's Urban Renewal Agency to draw up requirements for the mall's developer. The URA was established by the Lawrence City Commission to work with mall developers and provide citizen input.
Committee members asked Hannes Zacharias, city management analyst, whether their work would be cut short if Lawrence citizens voted
against the mail on three questions in the April 7 general election. Although the three referendum questions would not be binding on the City Commission, the three commissioners had asked they would adhere to the results.
"We get our authority from the City Commission." Zacharias told committee members. "If they say no, it's all cut and dry."
But Joel Jacobs, a URA member, said, "We have to work as if everything's going according to our plan of a year ago."
And Hank Booth, another URA member, said department stores had been watching Lawrence for a decade and a half.
"If we turn our backs now, it will
be extremely difficult for our developer of record to deal with department store people again," he said.
The city's developer of record, Jacobs, Visconsi & Jacobs of Cleveland, is working with the local Town Center Venture Corp.
Zacharias said he didn't think the committees would be able to release preliminary results before the April 7 election.
"The timeline is so fast," he said. The nine-member committee will study design, effects on the area and traffic for the proposed district between Sixth, Seventh, Massachusetts and Kentucky streets. The five-member URA will study and recommend ways to pay for the
Zacharias presented committee members with a market study done by the developer and a traffic study commissioned by the developer. He told the committee members that they should review both of the studies and comments made by Lawrence citizens in November.
public's estimated financial responsibility, which is about $20.3 million of the total $55.7 million.
"We want you to give the Urban Renewal Agency some idea of the community's concerns," Zacharias said.
The URA then would have public reviews of the recommendations and deliver specifications to the developer, who would then draw up a final design.

A draft of an environmental impact statement prepared by Douglas county, last year was biologically folded in favor. The bypass would destroy the wetlands.
Joe Collins, a zoologist at the KU Museum of Natural History, said the wetlands was the most northern U.S. land area under control of the federal threatened species list.
Fifty people attended the forum at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Church.
Proposed trafficway threatens wetlands, experts at forum say
Daryl Richardson, president of Douglas County Citizens for Responsible Development, a group opposed to the bypass, said the audience's reaction was similar to opposition to Lawrence's proposed downtown mall.
Representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Kansas Fish and Game Commission and three local experts in biology and zoology spoke at the forum sponsored by the Jayhawk Audubon Society and the Wakarusa Group of the Sierra Club.
Anger centered on the bypass' proposed route and its effect on the Baker Wetlands, a habitat for the endangered Northern Crawfish frog, and areas said to contain rare grasses.
Opponents of the proposed Southern Lawrence bypass appeared poised for a citizen revolt after a forum last night on the bypass possible environmental effect
The two-lane bypass, or trafficway as it is officially called, would extend 14.3 miles from Highway 10 south to 31st Street, 35th Street, Clinton Parkway and Highway 40 before joining Interstate 70 west of Lawrence.

However, Kring said citizens wanting to voice opposition could write to the EPA during a 45-day public comment period after the environmental impact statement is filed by the county.

Much to the audience's displeasure, Lynn Kring, EPA review officer, said no one single federal agency could veto a project. The final decision rested with the Federal Highway Administration.
Ralph Brooks, assistant director of the KU Botany Herbarium, said a rare form of milkweed and the prairie grass were threatened. A rare grass, also were endangered.
The bypass would form the northern border of the wetlands, which are south of 31st Street between Louisiana and Haskell streets.
