More sparks over WISTEC ■ Museum supporters voice worry over proposed parking plan for Autzen Stadium By Darren Freeman Oregon Daily Emerald Two dozen supporters of the Willamette Science and Technolo gy Center spoke out Monday night at City Hall against the Autzen Sta dium transportation plan, which proposes to place a bus transit sta tion on a WISTEC parking lot. W I S T E C makes about a third of its annu al income sell ing passes to fans who park on its lot for game days. Offi cials fear the non-profit mu seum would lose about a third of that revenue, to taling $26,000, if the transit station is placed on the lot. The area under contention is southwest of the sta dium on Leo Harris Parkway. The proposed transit station is a part of the University’s plan to pro •vide alternative transportation to the stadium in lieu of supplying the 1,375 parking places the city requires for the stadium expan sion, which would allow 12,100 more fans to attend games. City Council will vote Oct. 23 on the transportation plan. If the council votes down the plan, the University will have to draft an other one or provide the addition al parking places before getting the go-ahead on the stadium expan sion. University administrators say the city-owned lot by the museum is the ideal place for a transfer sta tion, but WISTEC officials say the University should put the station on University property. “Since WISTEC operates with out state or city funding, the loss of this revenue would mean sudden death,” said Charles Christensen, a WISTEC board member. “Another door would be closed to children.” The University has offered WIS TEC $220,000 to make up for lost parking revenue, Dan Williams, vice president for University ad ministration, said Monday night. That figure is intended to in clude the money the museum would make over the next seven years by selling passes to the 200 lots the transit station would cov er. “This offer seems reasonable, fair and generous,” Williams said. But WISTEC Executive Director Meg Trendler said the museum re jected that offer because the dollar amount was too low and covered revenue the museum would make only until 2007, when the Univer sity’s contract with the city over the use of that lot expires. “It’s my understanding that if they build the transit center here, it’ll be here for more than seven years, and we intend to be here af ter seven years,” Trendler said. Most speakers Monday night voiced support for WISTEC and said the transportation plan would cause the museum to close. “I don’t want WISTEC to close because I’ve been meaning to go there, and if you close it, I won’t be able to go there,” five-year-old Max Chalmers said. “WISTEC rules.” I-T RETIREMENT INSURANCE MUTUAL FUNDS T R U 5 T S E R V I C E S T U I T I 0 N FI N A N C I N G Why is TIAA-CREF the #1 choice nationwide?
