Airport police Chief Tim Conahan says many people are still using old, nearby parking lots. Conahan says the name of the new lot may be part of the issue.

The new lots were announced in September along with other parking initiatives, including a new app that has a feature to help you find your vehicle if you return home and forget where you parked.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The parents of a 13-year-old Kansas girl who died of viral meningitis are suing a Lincoln hospital, alleging that doctors there were negligent when they treated her in 2014.

Terrisa and Scott Waters filed a wrongful death lawsuit Friday in district court in Omaha. The lawsuit says their daughter, Brandi Waters, had complications during a surgery elsewhere to have a benign tumor near her pituitary gland removed. According to the lawsuit, those complications resulted in her being a quadriplegic.

Brandi was admitted to Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in November 2014. The lawsuit says Brandi started hallucinating and became confused in December 2014, but doctors held off doing a procedure to look for signs of viral meningitis. She was treated with antiviral medications, but died later that month.

The hospital says it will investigate the allegations.
