The metered parking spaces currently on the south side, near the EMU. will be eliminated. "The reason for no parking on the south side and new bike lanes is to separate the car traffic and bike traffic for safety con cerns." Levinski said. In addition, the regulations will reduce the number of "bicy cle-car conflicts" on 13th Avenue that result from unreg ulated. drive-through traffic on that street, she said. The final additions needed to complete the project include some electrical work in the booth, and painting in areas to park and now bicycle lanes. The project was originally bud geted at $43,()()(), with the mon ey coming from OPS revenue generated through parking tick ets and a bicycle improvement fund. 9 m )ZCS * pRizes>*r*-,r.1: » pjzrz^s * prises » rt^. )~cs * ppize> • H * iM $ » 12 § A » 3 N a » » '/Si a » i.] N r?* l\ Look for a special Valentine's Crossword Puzzle in the C«Pture (I^apture supplement February 12 to win great prizes from the followino merchants: Baskin Robbins Dairy Queen Sundance Aqua Serene Ben’s Roundhouse Just Hair Record Garden Gazebo TCBY Club Wash Little Ocean 'lYaek Tbwn Pizza Backstage Daneewear Eugene Flower Horae Pizza Pete's Smith Family Bookstore The Beanery/Allan Bros.
