Committee OKs traffic plan
By Pam Solliner
Kansan staff writer
The Campus Transportation Committee drafted its short-term recommendations Friday to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety along Jayhawk Boulevard.
Last week the committee agreed to recommend a long-term plan that eventually would close the boulevard. The plan will contain a series of improvement phases, ending with the boulevard in about five to 10 years.
Friday, Tom Mulinazzi, chairman of the committee, asked for short-term improvements that could be made with a minimal amount of money yet still focus toward the goal of closing the boulevard.
"I think long-range, down the pike, most of us want the boulevard to turn tomorrow. Tomorrow, I think we want to keep it on the books that the goal is to close
As part of the short-range recommendations, Charles Bryan, outgoing coordinator of KU on Wheels, said the boulevard's six bus stops should be consolidated into four. The two stops in front of Marvin Hall would be eliminated.
the boulevard."
Four parking spaces in front of Snow Hall would be eliminated to provide longer loading spaces for the buses, Bryan said. Three parking spaces would be eliminated in front of Bailey Hall. The metered parking space at Bailey Hall would be moved forward to give buses more space to load.
Space for bus stops at the Kansas Union also would be lengthened. Three metered parking spaces and space for one Union vehicle would be located on the west side of the boulevard to allow more space for bus loading.
Greg Wade, landscape architect
for the office of facilities planning,
said the information booth hours
should be extended to 5:30 p.m.
(except holidays). In addition, now
are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Wade said the extra hour and a half would provide time to reduce the faculty and staff rush hour before the boulevard was opened to all traffic.
It would cost $4,688 more each year to staff the booths until 5:30 p.m., according to figures provided by the facility, assistant director of parking.
The committee also recommended prohibiting left turns west from Naismith Drive onto Crescent Road. All north-bound traffic from Naismith to turn right onto Jayhawk Boulevard in front of the Jayhawk Bookstore.
Mulinazzi said he would draft the recommendations this week for review by the committee at its next meeting.
Court overturns bar check ruling
By Kathryn Lancaster Kansan staff writer
Jim Flory, district attorney, said he had not studied the decision closely but thought the decision would allow Lawrence police to resume checking IDs in local bars and restaurants.
"Students should be aware that bar checks will resume," he said. "The checks are legal long as we have them and as long as we find in the appellate court's decision."
Police curtailed bar check efforts after a district court ruled in September that officers could not ask people to leave their jobs based on a youthful appearance.
district judge, issued a pretrial ruling stating that looking young was a subjective judgment and not sufficient cause.
A ruling issued Friday by the state Court of Appeals in Topeka cleared the way for future bar checks in the county's most district attorney said Saturday.
The ruling also stated that although an officer could ask anyone in a bar for identification, bar patrol were not required to produce IDs.
Shepherd's opinion stemmed from the March 1989 arrest of Abby B. Bernstein, now a Winnetka, III., junior, who was found at the Free State Breeding Company of Lawrence with a beverage in hand.
Bernstein, who was 19 at the time, was charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol.
The appellate court said that although officers had reasonable suspicion to detain Bernstein, they violated her rights by not reading a Miranda warning.

test the Miranda issue, Flory said. Bernstein's attorney, Donald Strole of Lawrence, said Friday's decision did not address whether a person suspected of a crime must cooperate with officers.
The district attorney will not con-
"A person has the right to refuse to identify himself and refuse to answer any questions," he said. "Nothing in the appellate court decision contests my rights."
Strole argued in September that by asking people to reveal their ages, officers were asking people younger than 21 to incriminate themselves, violating their Fifth Amendment rights.
Stole则 he would ask the Kansas Supreme Court to review the opinion, which becomes legal in 30 days if not contested.
Police cannot resume bar checks until the 30-day period expires, Strole said.
