tions,” he said.
The Senate group circulating
the petition has obtained about
25 signatures thus far. Residents
on Del Mar Boulevard are sym¬
pathetic to the Lancer cause, ac¬
cording to Thompson, but the
group has encountered hostility
from residents on Rose Villa
Drive, south and parallel to Del
Mar.
“If we can get enough volun¬
teers,” Thompson said, “we hope
to have this petition ready for
presentation to the city engineer’s
office sometime during the sum¬
mer. The more signatures we
have, the better.”
He explained that the ASB
hopes to persuade the city to en¬
force on-street parking restric¬
tions only during the afternoon
hours, so that the stalls will be
available for Lancers to use dur¬
ing the “peak” morning class pe¬
riods.
