A proposed parking fee for two campus lots and changes in TCAT service prompted Cornell employees to sign a petition presented to the Employee Assembly on Wednesday.

To facilitate the removal of snow and debris from city streets, the City of Ithaca will put its Odd/Even Parking Regulation into effect beginning Nov. 1.

City Controller Steven Thayer said he hopes these new machines will eventually replace conventional meters and boost revenues by 20 percent. 

The Common Council would be wise to approve a parking-in-lieu-free that would curb the creation of parking spots and enable the development of a commercial and residential project at 307 College Avenue.

For this year's PARK(ing) Day at Cornell, Landscape Architecture students created an artificial green space in a parking spot across from CTB. 

As students walked in and out of Collegetown last Friday, many were surprised to find that an ordinary parking space had become a public park for the day. Some even chose to sit down upon the mat of fall foliage and talk with the landscape architects who arranged the site. Nearby, a can collected donations to feed the meter.

“Some people consider open space to be prohibitive in big infill developments,” said Christopher Mateo grad, secretary of the American Society of Landscape Architects’s Cornell chapter’s executive committee. “We want to show how much green space you can contain in a 9-by-18 square foot plot.”

Re: “Students Speak Up on C-Town,” News, March 27

I am surprised and disappointed that this article indicates students are more concerned about building heights than they are about (1) the failure of planners to provide adequate parking for occupants of the high rises and (2) the planners obvious agenda to cow students out of their cars.

It is incredibly irresponsible for planners to design this scale of housing without sufficient parking space, and students should be outraged. Insufficient parking affects everyone in our community negatively; it detracts from the quality of life for every resident in every neighborhood. No public transportation system will replace the car for people who can afford to buy a car.
