Permit holders can provide TS with input by replying to the e- mail no later than next Monday, Sept. 15 at 5 p.m. The only opin ion they may voice, however, is whether to enact the new plan immediately or in Fall 2004. “We would like to share with ou some facts, ask that you weigh the evidence and invite ou to cast your vote,” the e- ail states, in the effort dubbed [“Southside Vote.” Bronowitz said friends resid- ng across campus are worried hat a similar change will be nacted in the Northside garage fter the upset over the outhside garage has subsided.

That was a temporary meas ure in place while the new garage was being built,” iVilliams said. “It’s not as criti cal as it once was.
