right to have it's students and staff park downtown, I really don't see how it
could confuse you. It strikes me as massively unfair to single them out for
some kind of burdensome parking restriction. All businesses downtown us up
parking to one degree or another. Restaurants, coffee shops, and apartments all
require parking. I suspect that residents at the Moscow Hotel use up far more
parking in the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:City>
st. lot than the school does and there is still plenty of left over spaces.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

The reason NSA should be "singled out" in terms of parking, Mr.
Crabtree, is because NSA is not a business. It is a college. Its students don't
park for an hour and then leave; they come and park for several hours. Some
park in the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:City>
lot all day. The businesses dependent on the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:City> lot -- Bookpeople, Paradise Creek
Bicycles, Sweet Peas and Sage, the Wild Hare, and the various restaurants in
the Central Business District need that parking for their customers. If people
can't find parking downtown, then people will stop shopping downtown. They'll
go instead to the mall.<br>
<br>
U of I students and employees pay for the privilege of parking on campus. NSA
students pay nothing to park in the <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Jackson
Street</st1:address></st1:Street> lot. What's more, their parking is
subsidized by the tax-paying businesses downtown. This is unfair; it's
detrimental to downtown retail; and it's a pain in the ass for both customers
and shop-keepers. According to city zoning ordinance, NSA should not be in the
Central Business District. If the code is amended to allow them to stay, then
something must be done to ensure that NSA's 150 to 200 students (their
projected growth) don't clog up parking for retail. Surely as the owner of the
Lock Shop in the Third Street Mall, you can appreciate having your business
parking hogged up by non-customers. For years, Food Co-Op customers parked in
front of your shop despite the clear signs asking them not to. (I didn't park
in front of your shop; I respected your signs advising me not to. I also didn't
want to be towed.)<br>
<br>
BTW, I apologize for suggesting you might benefit from a dose of Fletcher's Castoria.
My friend, Dr. Seuss, has advised me that re: the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Mack</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Trailer Park</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>
evictions, constipation is not your problem -- it's just that your heart is
four sizes too small. The good doctor suggests a diet of Roast Beast and a
rousing chorus of "Bah-hoo Doray" with Cindy Lou Who.<br>
