Lot Will Have Limited Parking to Keep Students Out Long-term parking will be curbed by a time restriction meant to make space for clients of local businesses. By Adrienne Clark Staff Writer The Carrboro Board of Aldermen authorized parking restrictions at a Rosemary Street parking lot when the board convened Tuesday for its regular business meeting. undergraduate students as part of a pro gram aiming to put students doing inde pendent study projects at the head of the classroom. The program- Carolina Students Taking Academic Responsibility Through Teaching - is now in its second year after being founded by a $5,000 grant from former provost Dick Richardson. Officials with the program said the C START courses, which will each be taken for one hour of pass/D/fail cred it, cover topics not normally found in the undergraduate curriculum. The lot, located on Rosemary Street near the Midway Building and Carrburritos Taqueria, soon will have a one-hour parking limit, though the board did not set a date for implementation. “I don’t think the process will take very long,” said Alderman Allen Spalt. Stepney Edwards, owner of a busi ness on Rosemary Street, requested that a time restriction be implemented to decrease long-term parking, which he felt hurt his business.

The town of Chapel Hill and the University have mobilized mechanical and human counters around the Chapel Hill area for a traffic study that began this week and will last into mid- November. Chapel Hill Traffic Engineer Kumar Neppalli said the surveys are examining traffic, pedestrian and bicycle volumes at UNC, in Chapel Hill and in the greater area in line with the town’s Comprehensive Plan for transportation goals, which was passed May 8,2000. UNC is conducting the survey to col lect traffic data to prepare for the Master Plan, UNC’s 50-year growth guideline. The University has hired M.A.8., Inc., a local consulting group based in Chapel Hill to examine the data. Data from the count in and around Chapel Hill will be taken by a separate consulting group, LS.A. and Associates. It will be presented in a mobility report card to the Chapel Hill Town Council to Young Participates in Lighting Tour By Deb McCown Staff Writer “I found one!” said Student Body President Justin Young, eagerly pointing out a nonfunctioning light on campus. Young accompanied safety officials Tuesday evening on a walk through the UNC campus for their semiannual light ing tour, during which they assess cam pus safety at night. On the tour, the group looks for non functioning lights, overgrown foliage and dark areas that might need lighting, said Lt. Angela Carmon, the crime pre vention officer for the Department of Public Safety. “It’s not just a lighting tour,” said con struction and renovation technician Phil Mazarick. “We try to look at all things as they relate to safety, as they relate to people feeling comfortable about the campus.” Mazarick said campus foliage growth requires that officials tour the campus in large number of stu dents who Edw r ards said park in the lot “The lot was built for patrons of businesses,” McGuire said. “There has been significant drop in customers on Rosemary as a result of no parking spaces being available.” Several aldermen agreed the lot should not be used by students because it was classroom setting. “I’m really into independent learning, and one of the best ways to learn is to teach something,” said johnson, who is teaching a course on the purpose of pub lic universities. The courses will all be held in the James M.

The transportation goals stated in the both the fall and spring. “There’s a big difference in lighting patterns between the spring when the leaves are coming on and when most of the leaves have fallen.” Although the group found sever al lights that were out on North Campus, the majority were functioning nor mally, and none of the areas on the tour were com pletely unlit. “When I started doing this (24 years ago), every time I would place six to 10 lights,” Mazarick said. “In the past few years it’s been pretty unlit” Because no sections of campus were completely unlit, the group did not sin gle out any location on the tour as a problem area in significant need of “Students are abusing the lot. People are unable to use the lot as it was built to be used. ” Joal Broun Carrboro Alderman the lot is to support businesses. “The lot was put in place for the near by businesses,” said Alderman Joal (en&c \|j|\ If you’re crazy about our Oreo Cookie / sf \ yogurt maybe you’d like an Oreo Shake. an Oreo Flurry, or a delicious - A Oreo Pie with Oreo Crust! m Downtown Chapel Hill „ _ \ 10<) W Franklin St OltiO, OttSC / (Next to He’s Not Here fyi • 942-pump Hve Me 1 North Durham Some \/' l Northgate Mall f * SJext u> Carousel) ‘ •'O OIQ O r lIA jJ “Jhe fPlf VOGURt^H WmM T pump^4jr HOURS: Mon-Sat llsom-11:00pm, Sun 12^0pm-ll<K>pni Thursday, October 25, 2001 Internet,” said Tucker, who is teaching a course that examines eating disor ders. “I like those types of things and am planning to use them in the class.” Hurtz is teaching a class about comic books, apd Chattaraj is teaching a course about visual arts in Asia.

Alderman Mark Dorosin said the restrictions could alleviate the problem of overcrowding by increasing access to the lot throughout the day. “Hopefully (the restrictions) will prevent people from keeping their cars in the lot all day.” But some aldermen expressed con cern that a one-hour limit is too short “I prefer a slightly longer time than an hour,” Spalt said. “I would feel more See ALDERMEN, Page 4 built for the stores on the street “The lot is real ly for the business es,” said Alderman Jacquelyn Gist. “It took a lot of work and money to get the lot built and looking nice.” The aldermen said the purpose of 3 the amount of lighting there far exceeds regula tions.
