vehicles are parked in handicap
ped spaces 69 percent of the
time.
A $10 fine does not deter
violators from parking in hand
icapped zones, he said. Powell is
recommending that the Board
of Regents impose a $50 fine for
the violation next year.
He said the College Station
Police Department enforces a
$50 fine for handicap parking
violations.
“Do you ever see cars parked
illegally in handicapped spaces
at Safeway? . . . not too often,”
Powell said.
There are about 160 hand
icapped spaces on campus, and
Only 30 or 40 of them are located
next to buildings. Seventy-five
permanently disabled persons
on campus need those spots,
Powell said.
However, more handicapped
spaces are available this year be
cause almost no temporary
spaces have been awarded,
Powell said.
Last year, temporary permits
were issued to people with
broken legs and other major in
juries. This year they’re not
being issued because the people
with such disabilities are consi
dered mobile, Powell said.
Powell’s office provides a
shuttle bus service from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. for persons needing
assistance to class.

Hensel won’t get replaced

v ; i Some Texas A&M streets will

Associate Vice President for
Iperations Jim Ferguson says.
,g;^^™Jpiensel Drive, which runs
l^firough the married student
’’ jbusing area near South College
ivenue, is full of potholes and
neven surfaces, and has resi-
"'“'eniscomplaining about its con-

Resident Cathie Lockett said
Recondition of the road is “aw-
ulr When driving on the road,
he has to “dodge the potholes,”
he said.
Her husband, Pete, a sopho
more horticulture major,
agreed. He said he avoids the
road as much as possible because
of the bumps.
Lockett said he sees the
asphalt patches in the road
washed away during the first
rain that follows the repairs.
The problem is a lot worse than
it was two years ago when he was
here last, he said.
Ferguson said workers could
continue to patch the road, but
in order to do a “first class job”
officials want to replace the road
with a new one. He estimated
that the job would cost several
hundred thousand dollars.
Gene Ray, director of
grounds maintenance, said his
department receives money for
routine repairs, but not for con
struction projects of that magni
tude.
Since state appropriations for
maintenance and repair won’t
cover the cost of the job, Fergu
son said the alternatives are li
mited. The office of operations
will try to integrate the project
into the University’s five-year
master plan, he said.
Items placed in the master
plan are based on the priority
they are given. Repairs for Hen
sel Drive are not yet included in
the master plan.
Some repairs in the master
plan include replacing the sec
tion of Bizzel Street from Jersey
Street to Lubbock Street. It will
cost about $700,000 and is sche
duled for fiscal year 1985.
Ferguson said the Bizzell
Street project was given higher
priority because it is used often
to get from Jersey Street to the
university.
Ray said reasons for the con
dition of Hensel Drive include a
broken water line which occur
red in the early 1970s and shut
tle bus traffic.
Ray compared loaded shuttle
buses to concrete trucks, saying
they put a lot of wear and tear on
the roads.
