and van pooling have also been initiated
by giving the prime parking spots ,to
those users..
Wolsfeld said in a phone interview
yesterday that his findings differed lit-
tle from the UATS results in traffic
forecast and usage. The only significant
difference between the two studies is
the optimism with which the public is
expected to react to the plan.
Mayor Louis Belcher, Council mem-
ber Louis Senunas (R-Third Ward), and
Wolsfeld said they are against in-
stituting exorbitant parking rates for
fear of undesirable repercussions.
Belcher and Senunas warned against-
potential deleterious effects on the
business climate.
UNIVERSITY Vice-President for
State Relations Richard Kennedy
questioned the effectiveness of high-
priced parking as a deterrent to people
driving into town. "I don't know how
much we can raise the parking price
without it becoming a bargaining issue.
If we negotiate it away in a contract,
it's not a deterrent," he said.
Wolsfeld said the parking burden
would probably just shift to residential
neighborhoods and may not deter
people from driving downtown. "You
keep putting restrictions on, and pretty
soon, you'll have the whole town
restricted," said the University con-
sultant.
Korman said his office has been
studying all the aspects of reducing
auto travelin the area. The next step
for the University is securing the funds
to implement the blueprint. The Regen-
ts will consider parking price hikes in
the spring, according to Korman.
THE FIRST STEP for the University
will be "non-road improvements which
are low-capital_ intensive (and
therefore) not major investments,"
Korman said. Most of the changes will

be gradually incorporated over the next
five years, he added.
Kennedy said the roadways should be
under construction by the 1980's. He
added "a freshperson starting school
now should see some notable changes"
while attending school here.
Wolsfeld said, the stages of im-
plementation he suggested to the
Regents were: 1) upgrade Glen St.; 2)
construct the new access to the Medical
The plan is aimed at
alleviating future traffic
problems in the Ann Arbor
area by de-emphasizing
the automobile. The plan
includes upgrading streets
and intersections, employ-
ing incentives to encour-
age greater use of mass
transportation and other
energy saving measures.
Center; 3) construct the Fuller Bridge
realignment; and 4) construct the
commuter lots.
HOWEVER, HE would alter the plan
of attack in the event of the University's
inability to secure funds for all the road
construction.
In the case of unsure funding,
Wolsfeld suggested that the University
commence with some of the roadwork
and some of the operational strategies
and then monitor its success before
proceeding. If partial construction

alleviates the traffic burden, the
University would save money, he ad;
ded.
Wolsfeld's firm is now planning a
people-mover for St. Paul., Minn.,
which is similar to the one now con=
sidered by the University.
"IT'S PRETTY expensive - it may
cost $20 million when we're done with
the whole system," he said of the
people-mover planned for here.
"A people-mover is an aerial
guideway capable of holding 22
people ... and would span about two
miles one way," explained the UATS
plan.
People-movers are now being built
with federal money in St. Paul, Houston
and Los Angeles, he said. "I can't see
(federal grants for Ann Arbor) until
they (the other cities) get some
results" on how efficiently the aerial
conveyers perform, he added.
FOLLOWING the construction of the
commuter lots on North Campus and
the expanded use of Crisler arena for
commuter parking, University bus
lines would be used more heavily. Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer
James Brinkerhoff said, "There are no
plans at this particular point in time" to
institute a pay bus line as a result of the
increased burden.
Brinkerhoff said he has been meeting
regularly with UATS Executive Direc-
tor Bob Polens and Steering Committee
Chairwoman Marilyn Thayer to discuss
the plans and their employment. They
will meet again at the end of this month,
he added.
The plans are awaiting financing
now. Brinkerhoff said meetings are
now going on to discuss alternative fun-
ding strategies.
Wolsfeld said the University is hoping
for both state and federal funding.

The boot, .developed for Denver,

eastern cities. It's use has been sharply
debated in Washington, D.C., where
parking fines double every two weeks.
Hughes said many Michigan
