style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">With regard to my brief answer to the question of
allowing N.S.A. the 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 face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><BR>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.

consisantly you almost get it right. Folks in apts. downtown park for days
on end in the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">jackson</st1:place></st1:City> st. lot and still spare spaces.
N.S.A. students come & go as well as shop downtown. The only time
parking seems to be difficult is at times N.S.A. is not in
session--farmers market & after 5:00
etc.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">With regard to my brief answer to the question
of allowing N.S.A. the 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>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><BR>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><BR>Joan Opyr/Auntie
