Department of Public Safety
officials are ticketing students
and other non-faculty for parking
on Main Street, south of Bellows
Street, because the street is now
owned by the University.
Capt. Ron Williams, of the
Department of Public Safety, said
parking meters have been
removed and student* are no
longer allowed to park on the
street since the University took
possession of the street in July. He
did not know how many tickets
have been issued in that area.
Williams said the block-long
section of Main Street is now
considered part of I-ot 5, located
west of Grawn Hall.
"Many students don't realize
the street is also reserved for F
I faculty and staff! deeals."
Wil Kama said.
But he added no new signs have
been added warning students the
10 spaces available are only for
faculty. A sign, pointing north on
Main, designates the street as
faculty and staff parking, along
with the rest of Ixit 5.
Some students have complained
the street was changed from
metered parking to faculty and
staff parking without any
announcement. Williams said.
Jerry Tubbs. vice president for
Business and Finance, "said the
University took possession of the
street in July after the last
resident moved out of his home at
HO S. Main
The University tentatively
plans to connect Ix>ts ;). 4 and a
and raze the block of Main Street
south of Bellows this summer.
Tubbs said He added the street
may Ik- razed sometime In-tween
mid-May and mid-August.
