A delegation of neighborhood leaders met with officials from Washington University in late February to discuss neighborhood/University relations.
The objective of the meeting was to share neighborhood concerns with University officials and to allow the University to describe its expansion needs.
The neighborhood delegation was headed by Twenty-eighth Ward Alderman Dan McGuire and Community Council Executive Director Nancy Farmer.
It also included representatives from Parkview, the Catlin Tract and the Rosedale neighborhood. Participating for Washington University were Jim McLeod, the University’s liaison with the neighborhood; Joe Evans, Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs; Justin Carroll, Associate Dean for Student Services; and James Burmeister, Director of Special Programs. Issues which were discussed included the noise generated by the University’s fall outdoor concert; the litter created on Skinker by last year’s homecoming parade; the litter, noise and loitering which occurs in conjunction with Thurtene Carnival; and the proposed eastward expansion of the parking lot on Millbrook Boulevard.
On the first three items, the University offered to help resolve problems and concerns, and provided the appropriate faculty coordinator to discuss specifics.
In regard to the expansion to the parking lot, the University indicated that it had tabled, for the time being, its previously announced expansion plans and was examining other alternatives.
The University expects to complete this review by March of 1990.
It agreed to notify the Community Council as future plans evolve.
