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.”
