When conducting the in-person surveys, we handed out printed surveys to students in the 11 A.M. Physics I Tuesday and Thursday class. This survey consisted of nine questions, one of the questions was thrown out because it was found to be irrelevant to the main problem stated. The other eight were used to find out what the major issues with this parking lot are, from the student’s and faculty’s perspective. After attaining the results of the in-person survey, we elected to revise some of the survey’s questions and make the survey available to the student body and faculty members online. Our director posted the link in a mass email to the UK Paducah student body and related faculty. All surveys are anonymous and the results are compiled into a data file that we created. In addition to the surveys, we conducted Interviews to get people thoughts on the six most import survey questions. The interviews …show more content…
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 Crounse parking lot at West Kentucky Community and Technical College has been a frequently discussed topic among students and faculty. Due to this, we decided to investigate the opinions and thoughts of those who use the lot on a daily basis. Along with this, we decided to observe the frequency of illegal parking on an average day, as well as the frequency of accidents, and parking citations, as a result of illegal parking. We used a variety of methods to collect data and compiled the
Employee theft at parking and other companies is one of the big issues. One study indicates that businesses are losing more money due to employee theft than from shoplifters. The study explained that, "On a per case average, these employees steal approximately 5.9 times the amount stolen by shoplifters ($665.77 vs. $113.30)." Solutions for Enterprise Security Leaders, (2012). (P 1). Surveillance cameras will provide a great benefit to parking garages. It can help to protect property, customers and employees, helping the business remain competitive. According to Morton (2012), "not only can surveillance catch a crime in progress, but documentation of a vehicle accidents, assault, or even a slip-and fall incident can be valuable." (P 3) This research proposal will cover data from Imperial parking audit department relevant to this research paper. Particularly, 2012 audit findings about theft will be used. It will also cover external literatures regarding employee theft, benefit of security cameras and criminal activities at parking garages. This research paper discusses the following points: Employee theft at parking lots, Importance of parking lot security cameras, How to prevent employee theft, and Cost effective surveillance camera systems. Imperial parking would benefit from this research paper. Preventing theft, assaults, vandalism, loitering, and accidents are among others that Imperial parking would benefit
The City of Los Angeles is notorious for its space congestion: in most neighborhoods, simply finding an open parking spot is considered a luxury. To make matters worse, California vehicle code section 22500 (f) exacerbates Los Angeles congestion as it precludes vehicles from extending over any portion of a sidewalk or onto a street. This paper will draw attention to the fact that 22500 requires amendment, doing so would both reduce space congestion and ease vehicle accessibility.
Since the vast majority of students that attend college drives a car, Miami Dade College had to find a place where students could park their car without taking the risk of being towed or ticketed. So the college administration allied at a first instance with Miami-Dade County to let the students park at the 117th avenue which is right behind the college buildings. The real problem came when the Miami-Dade County didn’t let them park there anymore. Consequently, MDC had to find another place to let them park, so they moved the parking site to the International Mall, which is about 3 miles from the campus buildings. Finally they got an agreement with IKEA to use the upper parking of the
I am the Law Students’ Society representative for the law school located at the PACI building on 955 Oliver Road in Thunder Bay, where our students are experiencing parking difficulties.
Imagine waking up thirty minutes late the morning of your final exam, the sense of panic you feel as you are rushing to get dressed and then begin speeding through traffic to make it to the campus on time. Upon finally arriving, with less than fifteen minutes left to spare, there is absolutely nowhere for you to park your car in the parking garage. Stressful situations such as these happen on a daily basis for college students attending the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), the issue of parking deficiencies at UNLV is becoming a more well-known and very prevalent among the college’s community. The absence of parking spots at UNLV is detrimental to students’ education because it causes problems such as tardiness, frustration added stress, and financial issues; all things that will eventually handicap the educational enrichment of the students that are enrolled.
The town of Halton Hill’s population includes the areas of Georgetown and Acton and other communities such as Erin, Oakville, Burlington and Milton regions. This is what is considered to be my community because these are the many places that I am visiting most often and they are always referred to together as “Halton Hills Region” (p.5, 2011). With the substantial increase in population in the Halton Hills region, more specifically Georgetown, there should be a strong demand for a public transit system to counteract all of the environmental disturbances that are being caused due to this increase. One of the things that is happening is that there are so many trees they are cutting down in order to expand and grow the population with houses being built. Statistics are showing that the population of Halton Hill’s region will expand by 54% over the next 20 years (p.5, 2011). By the year 2031, employment rates will increase by 75%, leaving Halton with 42,100 jobs being offered (p.5, 2011). With this rapid influx of citizens, this will only increase the demands of travel to get to these work places as well as other destinations (p.5, 2011). Over the past couple of year’s the traffic congestion on the major roads in Halton Hills such as Trafalgar Road and Regional Road 25 with individuals trying to get to and from work. There used to be very little traffic in these areas, however since Halton Hill’s has continued to expand, the utilization of automobiles has significantly increased due to the fact there is no public transit system. The Transportation Demand Management in Halton Hill’s is noticing the increase in automobiles stating that there needs to be a major shift in more efficient ways of transportation, yet there still has been nothing improvised (p.7, 2011). The Transportation Demand
Many students at Kansas State University have a problem with having to hunt for a parking spot every time they arrive on campus. Buying a permit every year does not guarantee you a parking spot; it is more of a hunting permit. It does not seem to be fair that the university keeps taking away parking spots. Some of these spots were taken away in order to better the university with a new water treatment plant, but as the number of enrolled students is on the rise, the number of open parking spots continues to exponentially fall. Another large complaint among KSU students is the price of parking. We are proposing Kansas State builds a new parking garage to take care of the parking problems.
Due to the number of people here at TSU, we are ill equipped to handle to large number of cars that students are bringing. The system in place currently consists of the following; the main parking lots that surround the residential halls, once those fill up the other students go to a dedicated parking lot about a five-minute walk from the halls. However, this year the student load is too great, so a new overflow lot has been designated on the other side of the campus. In my personal experience, I have had to go to that lot before, and even that one is almost over capacity. One night while riding with a friend, we were just leaving and there was two or three other cars just sitting there waiting for us to get out of the mediocre spot instead of looking around for another spot, as we left the parking lot, it became clear why they did that, there were no other spots available. When we got back it took about an hour to find a parking spot as we had to check all the other lots for a spot, and ended up parking on the opposite side of campus to our dorms. Other students I asked stated that during the week, there’s very little chance of getting a parking spot. Only Friday morning through Sunday afternoon are there any reasonable amount of parking spots in any of the parking
We decided to build a multi-story parking lot around the SAIT campus as there is less parking space for the students and it takes very long in the morning to find a parking space. So, the purpose of this project is to provide an idea to SAIT for building another parking lot for convenience of students. In order to do that we are going to perform Phase 1 and Phase 2.
We were unable to find any sufficient information, so we did a survey in order to gather information about what people thought about Humber’s parking. The Survey was also to give us information that we can use for our report and support our argument about the poor parking structure at Humber North. Our survey was completed by staff and students in order to get more than one perspective. We obtained the opinions of 32 surveyors; 20 students, 6 professors, and 6 other faculty members (including security guards), Each questionnaire was slightly different for the different groups of people taking the survey, for example, some questions were put in the questionnaire that only professors, or students, or security guards can answer. Another thing we were able to come up with based off of our research and survey results were that we were able to create some recommendations in order to help the school with a couple ideas on how to efficiently make parking better at Humber
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,
Adam complains about parking at least three time a day. He is late to economics class every Tuesday and Thursday, and Professor Willis simply cannot take it anymore. Professor Willis told Adam that he needs to wake up earlier in order to get a spot on campus, but sleep is vital to all college students. Sleep should not be compensated for the time to find parking. Adelphi should instead listen to the proposal in this essay, which deals with the plan of action to create more parking spots on campus. Spots are limited, and Adam is not alone. There is a large number of people who have a problem finding a parking spot. Parking is the number one problem on campus for both residents and commuters and a solution is needed. Adelphi has the money and power to create more parking spots on campus by extending both of the underground parking lots. The benefits of extending the underground parking lots will allow for Adelphi to cut down on their shuttle service, permit all students to park on campus, and for less accidents to occur.
There are currently only a handful of reserved spaces on campus, and the ground has yet to be broken for the construction of the parking deck. In fact, Winthrop University does not even have all the funds needed to build this parking deck. When I approached Jack Allen, of Campus Police, with my idea of reserved parking spaces, he told me that he thought it was a good idea. Walter Hardin, when given the same idea, seemed to think that the reserved parking system would not realistically work out but was open to the proposal.
Why do students and their parents pay such a large amount of money to attend the University of Dayton if there is not going to be any place for parking? I am a first year student at the university so I understand that I am not permitted to have my car on campus (Handbook). My boyfriend on the other hand, lives at least a half hour away and comes to visit me several times a week. He arrives and has to drive for a very long time trying to find a place to park where he will not receive a ticket. He has tried to park everywhere we can think of, but it never seems to work out. The first few times he came over public safety/the police department was willing to give out temporary permits for visitors and
Finding a parking space in general can sometimes be a very strenuous and challenging task. When it comes to big cities like San Francisco, the struggle is alive and well. It truly is a growing epidemic that should be addressed. I can think of so many things that are promoting and strengthening this issue. It all starts with the general public. More specifically, their mentality. When you think about it, each new parking spot we generate allures even more people to drive. It creates hope and reassurance. That might sound good until you realize that our communities are reaching full magnitude. It's as simple as that. This is happening everywhere; It's quite impossible to ignore. As a result, this worsens and demeans our streets and communities
