Parking Deck Project of University
The University of ________________ has been confronted with claims of parking shortages over the past several years. Many of these claims were not supported by any facts or figures that explained the cause of the parking shortages. In fact, some of the claims of insufficient parking were based on students not being able to locate parking spaces in the parking lots adjacent to their first class. Due to recent and projected enrollment increases, there now exist a genuine parking shortage. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the current parking, plan for future parking needs, and propose possible locations for increased parking spaces at the

The Master Plan proposes many changes for the overall improvement of the University.(See Figure 2) These improvements include dramatic changes in the existing parking facilities of the University. The physical changes that have been proposed by the Master Plan must be used in conjunction with demographic data in order to provide a user friendly and beautiful campus.
The University Master Plan proposes many creative ideas for the future of the University. These ideas, if enacted, would cause the campus to be more aesthetically pleasing and efficient. The University Master Plan contains plans to remove and redesign much of the internal parking on the campus. Parking spaces in the following areas would be eliminated: Wesleyan Ave., Morrison Ave., parking lot K, parking lot E, and parking lot H. (see Figure 1) There will be a total of approximately 400 parking spaces that will need to be relocated in order to conform to the Master Plan. These lost parking spaces must be accommodated in another location. The number of lost parking spaces when added to the existing parking shortage will result in a parking space deficiency of over 800. This will cause a substantial parking shortage in the near future if plans are not quickly enacted.
Projected enrollment must be taken into consideration, in order to make sure that the University has
Daily, thousands of students and faculty commute to this prestigious university. Unfortunately, insufficient parking at Texas A&M inconveniences many of us.
New students entering Western Michigan University are allowed to have a car on campus. With every new freshmen class entering each year, parking poses a problem. WMU is already limited in its parking on campus and since freshmen are allowed to have cars, the students are faced with the dilemma of having nowhere to park or parking quite far from their destination. There are parking problems all over the campus, creating backups in residence
Parking as described seems to be an afterthought. As stated it should be masked from the sidewalk, and laid out in a manner that it can be converted to other uses. Mainly they discuss off street parking, masked parking garages, and back alleys that should be no more than 24 feet wide max to include utilities, back garages, and trash
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.
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.
If your parking lot looks worn out because it is faded and full of cracks and weeds, then it may be time to have it resurfaced. As long as the base under the lot is still in good shape and water can drain from the surface freely, then restoring your lot could be as easy as putting down a layer of new asphalt. Other times, it might be possible to improve the appearance of the lot by applying a sealcoat. Your paving contractor considers the amount of damage to the asphalt when determining the best way to make repairs. Here are some factors that come into play.
Game day at The University of Alabama is filled with excitement from students, faculty and die hard fans alike. They also bring frustration when it comes to finding parking. Two Tuscaloosa City schools will once again be opening their parking lots for game day parking in order to offer patrons another option.
Although there may be some people who do not agree, it is not part of the law to make someone buy a parking pass. It is not a necessity to most people and some may think fifteen dollars is nothing, but their are others who need the money for food. Cars being towed is not an appropriate way to handle something like this and leaving them without a thought of it happening is even worse. Santa Rosa Academy is already a school that requires people to spend a good amount of money on, adding more to parents and even students is a very stressful thing. There are other ways to handle something as so little as a parking pass
Clearly marked parking spaces, curb markings to indicate areas in which parking is not allowed and pavement markings to guide drivers can improve safety within the parking lot.
As students we pay for many fees and parking should not be one of them. Here at Oregon State University many students and professors ride their bikes around campus, but there are also many students who drive their cars around campus. Some students have the privilege to have their car here, but for some students it is a necessity because they may live far from campus or because it is their ride back home. For parking passes we have to pay a fee that varies from $95 to $495 for an annual permit. This is the fee we have to pay just to park on campus and not have to park of campus. With how high our tuition is you would expect something like parking would be included. It should not even be included in our tuition, I believe
A parking structure is being built for the new Livermore BART station. The Livermore Department of Transportation would like to provide as many parking spaces as possible in the parking structure. This study will determine an “ideal” parking space size in order to maximize the amount of available spaces while still accommodating an appropriate range of car sizes.
To encourage students to take advantage of the off-campus parking locations to reduce personal stress and traffic congestion, the Department of Parking and Transportation will issue refunds for the $26 parking decal fee already paid for all students who change their parking area selection from East, West or Central parking for the remainder of the semester to either the 3305 Busbee Drive or Town Point satellite parking areas on the Kennesaw campus, or Lots 40/41 on the Marietta campus.
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
This project involves the construction of new road including the roundabout on the existing entry 3 road at Unitec campus, Mt Albert. The construction of proposed road will start from existing pedestrian crossing back of building 115 and it will end up to farm road through back of building 172.
