New mall brings traffic congestion
By Chris Siron Kansan staff writer
Traffic and parking problems at the new Riverfront Plaza are the most common complaints about the new mall, but work continues to improve the congestion, plaza and city officials said.
"The parking lot just isn't well designed," Georgeann Haynes, Baker University student, said last week. "It was difficult to get in and out."
Mike Wildgen, city manager, said the biggest problem was that customers were not familiar with the plaza grounds, which opened April 6.
"We're going to let pedestrian and traffic flows get established," he said. "The worst thing in a situation like this is to make emergency quick fixes when they may not be needed."
'There just are not enough spaces in the parking lots to accommodate all of the people coming to see the new stores.'
Wilden said he saw an example of

customer confusion last week when the parking deck at the mall was packed with cars, but only about 30 spaces were filled in the lot below the deck.
The mall had several problems in its first weekend that will be remedied, he said. Last week not all signs were mounted, only one walkway over train tracks around the mall was open, and one exit from the mall was blocked.
He said new signs were being added that would make routes more clear to drivers.
Wilden said a traffic engineer had looked at the mall's problems Friday and would report options to city officials. A traffic light at the mall's main entrance on New Hampshire Street has been considered, but no formal plans have been made.
Julie Wise, administrative assistant for the plaza's management, said she expected traffic problems to persist.
"There just are not enough spaces in the parking lots to accommodate all of the people coming to see the new stores," she said.
