aPA\i_ETALI Serving the San Jose State University Community since 1934 V01111111' 19, No 38 Thursday October 21, 198/ What kind of person reads the Daily? Committee can't agree on parking Won't propose closing San Carlos: but will still meet this week By Dan Baku A special committee investigating SJSU's parking situation will not recommend to the City Council on Tuesday that San Carlos Street be closed. Members of the six-person committee could not agree to recommend the closure, according to Stephanie Duer, Associated Students director of non- traditional minority affairs and a member of the committee. The AS., however, will still ask for the closure in a separate request. Last week Duer said she thought the committee would be recommending closing San Carlos Streeet and the university's leasing of one of the two Fourth Street dirt lots. The comffiittee inteneded to make its recommendations at Tuesday's City Council meeting but a presentation was deferred until next Tuesday because of the absence of Mayor Janet Gray Hayes, City Manager Francis Fox and three City Council members, who attended a meeting in San Diego. The parking committee will continue to meet this week, Duer said. She said the committee could agree only to recommend restriping Fifth. Sixth and Reid streets and the 10th Street garage to increase parking. The increased number of spaces would reduce the number of drivers who will have to pay $1.50 to park at the city-owned Fourth Street lots and the John Richarob San Carlos Street garage.
