Prohibit All Cars

The answer to all this as
proposed by the expert consultants
is to increase the number of cars
heading into the University area,
and of course to turn over more
land for parking spaces. This
approach seems to be unnecessary
and unwise.

A much better one, mentioned
briefly in the study but never fully
explored, would be to prohibit all
cars from entering or parking on
the University grounds between,
say, 8 A.M. and 6 P.M. and instead
have students, faculty and staff
park out at University Hall. From
there shuttle buses would operate
regularly, several times per hour, to
various parts of the University,
providing service to the exact
location desired.
