■ Spaces may seem scarce
but despite construction there
are plenty ot places to park
By Felicity Ayles
lor the Emerald
As fall term begins, some stu
dents might have a little trouble
buying the correct books, digest
ing residence hall food or even
finding their classes. Those are all
valid concerns, but students are
also faced with another grueling
dilemma — finding a parking
space on campus.
Although there are more than
1,200 student parking spaces on
this campus, it may often be diffi
cult to find an open one, and with
the completion of the new
William W. Knight Law Center,
empty spots may seem scarce. But
students will always have places
to park, Rand Stamm, campus
parking and transportation man
ager, said.
“Every space lost due to build
ing the law school has been re
placed,” he said. New lots behind
the Bean and Hamilton Residence
Hall complexes were constructed
last fall to supplement the then
shrinking Bean parking lot.
The new lots, on former Moss
and Columbia streets, were pur
chased from the city of Eugene by
the law school to replace the lost
parking spaces.
In fact, the University parking
division is working with the Uni
versity planning department for
every construction project on
campus. A system has been estab
lished whereby anytime construc
tion takes away parking, it must
be replaced.
“We at least get back as much
as we lost,” Stamm said.
All parking lost with the reno
vation of Esslinger Hall will be re
placed with a new lot behind the
building, he said.
“That’s to ensure we don’t end
up with less parking than we
had,” he said.
To avoid any possible problem
the construction may provide,
some West University neighbor
hood residents may choose to
purchase a city parking permit
through the residential parking
program (RPP).
These permits are made avail
able only to residents of the area,
but some commuter permits are
available for those people who are
unable to find alternative trans
poriauon, saia jay Minium, city
traffic operations technician.
“We try to accommodate some
commuters that don’t have op
tions,” he said. The commuter per
mits are “Zone D” permits and are
usually only purchased by em
ployees of local businesses. The
city has set a maximum limit of 50
commuter permits sold per year,
but has never met that limit. The
permits can be purchased at the
University Bookstore or the per
mit center in downtown Eugene.
For an RPP permit, residents
must prove they live in the area
by presenting a photo I.D., recent
proof of residence such as a utility
bill and the vehicle’s registration,
Millikin said.
Some students may find that
even though they live in the West
University neighborhood, their
street may not be a part of the
city’s permit program. In that
case, residents may start a petition
process to' have their street in
cluded.
“If people move into an area
where the program is not in place,
they should not have an expecta
tion that the city will fix all their
parking problems,” he said. A de
tailed map of permit-friendly ar
eas is available at the city permit
