WWU plans to build parking structure and clean up creek Owen Finney THE WESTERN FRONT On Oct. 13, Western completed its $2.59 million purchase of the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride. It has plans to rehabilitate Lincoln Creek and build a transportation center, parking structure and visitor center at the park and ride. The 7.8-acre site, which opened in the fall of 2004, is a parking lot providing spaces for more than 530 vehicles and features a transit station. The parking lot generally remains at full capacity during Western's academic year, providing parking for Western students, faculty and Bellingham residents free of charge. The transportation center would service the campus and city allowing for both Western shuttles and city buses to provide public transportation to students and Bellingham residents, said Donald Wynn, Western's director of facilities management. The parking structure, while still in the planning stages, would have three levels, a 500-car capacity and would be located on the southern end of the property. There are no plans to charge for the parking. "We don't have enough parking available on campus," said George Pierce, Western vice president for business and financial affairs. "There's a sense that this campus should be doing more for sustainable transportation." There are. ; also plans for a visitor center;; which' would supply transportation-information and feature a latte stand, bicycle racks, and restrooms, Pierce said, . ^ The work is set to begin in June and be finished by October 2007. r''.J'\ ;• V Western does not have the funds yet for the transportation or visitor centers or the parking structure, said David Willett, a Western architect.
