Crounse Hall Process Analysis

There needs to be additional parking on campus made for visitors and also for students. There also needs to be additional parking meters added for students living off campus, who often have trouble finding a spot. The college is overpopulated, resulting in loads of backed up parking lots. Faculty already has reserved parking; however the limited amount of parking on campus is forcing students and visitors to park in reserved faculty lots. Parking is

The problem with using the ATA bus system to solve the campus parking problem is the location of the bus stops, the time waiting for the bus, and the cost of the bus if the stop is off campus. The free stops on campus are only located within campus. Off-campus students will still have to find a way to get to campus to get on the bus. If a student wants to get on an ATA bus outside of campus they will be charged a fee. Another problem is students do not want to wait on the buses to get to their stop or if the miss a stop they have no way to get to

Students are forced to park in other places on campus and some choose to disregard the signs posted for reserved parking. This is a bit risky because vehicles parking in violation of university regulations may be towed and impounded. For example, a freshman living in the valleys would get an F parking permit. The only places they can legally park with this are up the hill by the dorms, by the rec. center, and on high levels of a parking structure by the Bernhard Center, which is a popular place for students to eat out at, or buy things at the school store. Each parking lot is restricted to parking for a specific type of permit. Only vehicles displaying the same type of permit may park in that lot. During fall and winter semesters, residence hall lots with the designations A, C, F, K, and Z are restricted 24 hours a day for vehicles displaying the same type of permit. Many students choose to ignore these letters and just park there anyway, taking the risk of being ticketed or possibly toed. Campus police walks around especially at night and tickets every car parked illegally or calls in for a toe truck to help out. Seven different parking lots that may seem convenient when students are looking for a spot are restricted to employee parking 24 hours per day, leaving many students frustrated,

As of 2013 there are about 2,500 parking spots currently available at the UCMerced parking lot; with the continued growth of students in the school, we need to be able to make sure supply meets demand with the parking spaces. UCMerced's student population is rapidly growing from 13.5 % from Fall of 2015 to 2016 (UCMerced). Due to the high demand the school needs to be able meet the necessary requirements for all these students; one of the biggest problems the school faces is that they aren’t able to meet the student’s transportation needs (The Merced Sun-Star). The lack of spaces causes students and staff to waste time looking for parking causing them to waste time. I plan on making a design on a mobile app to be able to solve this problem.

There are now far more students enrolled than there are parking spaces. The common defense I hear to this is that it gets better when students begin to drop out. However, I don’t think we should be relying on students to drop out. I think the school should be prepared. Every morning I usually have to circle around for at least 15 minutes before it even see open parking spaces. Some people even drive to the mall and have to wait for the bus to bring them to school. This is ridiculous considering that students pay for their parking passes, which should grant them the reasonable right to park on

Some argue that the extension of both underground parking lots will cost a lot of money, and they are not wrong. It will cost millions of dollars to renovate both parking lots, but the benefits will most certainly outweigh the costs and save money for the university in the long run. Extending the parking lots will require materials, workers, and require for certain parts of the campus to be shut down. This will of course create major chaos during the time

If a parking lot was built more people would be able to attend. The parking lots at Concordia have very limited space. A lot of students cannot find spaces to park during the day. Therefore, they are unsatisfied all day long. Future students who own their car will doubt about choosing Concordia. The more parking spots allow more students to attend the school. As a result, building a parking

It brings great obstacles to those who walk down the halls of Silverado High School day in and day out to be by bombarded by thirty-six hundred plus students. This prompts trying to go to the bathroom between classes beyond implausible, for it’s intense enough to just make it to class on time as it is without trying to make a pit stop at the bathroom. Students have been reduced to plowing and shoving their way through people in order to possibly make it to class and be in their seat before the tardy bell rings. I think all parents and more important, students involved will agree that this gargantuan number of students trying to push through one another to make it to the restroom or simply to

building codes representative agreed were a possibility where as follows: an expansion of the parking lot in order to account for more parking spaces.

When students are trying to get to class on time or even slightly early and the parking lot is full, this becomes increasingly more difficult to find a spot. To discover and verify the problems with Crounse’s parking lot, we gathered data from not only the parking lot itself, but the student and faculty body as well. From here we analyzed the data collected and developed viable solutions to the issues at Crounse Hall’s parking area.

The Senior Lot would fill up and then parking would expand from there. This would channel the traffic flow on campus because people wouldn’t be driving through all of the parking lots to reach the farthest parking spots. This is a great solution for pedestrians in the parking lots. If pedestrians have a shorter distance to walk from their cars to the school, there is a greatly decreased chance of being hit by a car.

As a commuter, it can be very difficult to try and find parking in time for class unless I give myself an extra 20 minutes, just in case. I also know that I am not the only student who faces parking issues at Pacific. I know some residential students who are forced to park their cars in random local residential areas because there isn’t enough overnight parking lots. I think this is one thing Pacific could immensely improve on. Whether it be creating more overnight lots or even a parking garage. Overall, I truly believe that Pacific University is an incredible institution and the administration has done an amazing job in making it a extraordinary institution for

MDC college students are taking a yellow bus from IKEA to MDC West ? Most of the students that attend college classes have their own cars. But what happen if you don't have a parking lot ? 90% of the students that goes to MDC West must take the yellow bus to go to the campus. Not having a parking lot next the campus is affecting all the student. As the result, taking the yellow bus is bringing three factors, students have wasted time, are uncomfortable, and have major issues with professors.

I am looking for answers. I have received multiple $75.00 tickets at this point. This amount comes close to the actual parking permit. I find it incredibly pathetic that I keep getting these parking tickets when I have been on a wait list since the beginning of the semester. For the past couple months I have called multiple times to hear how there is no spots opened anywhere on Monmouth University campus. Personally, I do not believe it. There has to be some sort of spot opened. It is alarming that a couple of these tickets come close to the full amount of the actual permit. I constantly park my far off-campus; however, there are times when it is late at night, coming from work, that I park my car on campus to simply move it the next morning.

I request that you accept my topic for the Writing 465 final project. Hopefully, I will be able to use this project to help alleviate the current parking problem at Winthrop University. Jack Allen, from Campus Police, and Walter Hardin, Associate Vice President for Facilities Management, have shown interest in my project.
