Biking proposal may cause clash By Brian Sharp Staff Reporter If a proposed dismount-zone is approved, bikers and pedestrians will find themselves on equal ground. At the monthly meeting of the Parking Advisory Committee Thurs day, plans met with nearly as much support as opposition. The committee’s proposal desig nates a no-ride zone throughout most of city campus. Bikes would have to be parked in exterior locations or walked to class. Dean Waddel, chairman of the advisory committee, said the propos al was developed as a safety measure because of an increase in bicycle traf fic on campus. “It’s not an attempt to reduce the number of bicyclists in any way,” he said. “I see it as protection for both bicyclists and pedestrians.” Although specific numbers were not available, UNL police said acci dents involving bicycles had been increasing. The parking advisory committee began work on the proposal last fall, Waddel said. Now that plan, along with a study by Mark Petersen, a senior engineering major, are helping BALLROOM Presents: Free Dance Lessons Ballroom Lessons Every Wednesday 7-8 pm (Wednesday night No Blue Jeans) Country Lessons Every Sunday 7-8 pm 6600 West 'O' Street 475-4030 THE FIRSTIER SURVIVAL KIT...

DON’T WAIT FOR AN EMERGENCY! I OPEN AN ACCOUNTNOW! firsfier You're First Here” FirtfTier Bank, N.A., Member FDIC move the no-ride zone closer to real ity. The plan calls for a similar dis mount zone, with the exception of sidewalks interrupting 12th and 14th streets. The two-phase proposal in cludes designating a bike-route, plus widening and extending some of those paths. A survey of 532 students, faculty and staff last November found 40.4 percent agreed bicycling on campus was dangerous, and 10 percent said it was very dangerous. More than half supported the idea of a dismount zone, Petersen said. “Our number one concern was for safety,” he said. “We don’t want to discourage biking at all. In fact, the whole purpose of our feasibility study is to encourage biking as much as possible.” But some of those already riding saw the proposal as a non-solution. Among them was Dave Chase, a jun ior marketing and economics major. “Out of all the pedestrian/biker confl icts, 90 to 99 percent of them are at the fault of the pedestrian,” he said. “All it (the proposal) does is make us conflict with different people.” Many cyclists said they were con cemed the plan could take them out of campus and place them alongside city streets. Officials said any bike route would provide a safe route to keep bike traffic away from busy streets like 16th and 17th streets and 14th Street by Harper-Schramm-Smith. Other parts of the advisory com mittee’s proposal call for a $5 bicycle registration fee, which would include licensing of the bike. Failure to regis ter the bike with the university could result in confiscation by a proposed bike patrol. Costs to retrieve the bike would be $25, plus the $5 registration fee. Registration, if approved, could reduce the rising number ofbike thefts on campus, Waddel said. According to UNL police reports, 177 bikes were stolen last semester, and officials said those numbers had been increasing. The current proposals go before ASUN Wednesday, and comments will be heard at the next committee meeting Feb. 10. In other business, the committee has scheduled an emergency meeting Tuesday to consider a plan that would zone parking at UNL.
