BOOTH
Continued from Page 1
available along the north side of
13th Avenue, near the science
buildings, for those with per
mits. 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.
