Construction limits on-campus parking

Driving isn’t the only thing being complicated by on-campus construction.

About 100 parking spaces have been lost due to construction near the new apartments at Third and Union Streets, Residential Parking Manager
Andy Tellas said.

The parking spaces currently affected by the construction are mainly D spaces located near Forest Quad, Read Center, Willkie Quad and Mason Hall.

“Residence halls are selling permits based on seniority in the system,” Parking Operations Manager Doug Porter said. “So when they sell out, they’ll offer them an E permit and put them on the waitlist for a D.”

Porter said he expects a spike in the number of parking passes purchased in E parking lots in the vicinity of Memorial Stadium.

The loss of spaces affects only Residential Programs and Services residents, as students living off-campus are ineligible for D passes.

Students can purchase E permits at any point in the semester, he said, and a two-week grace period is currently in effect for parking in designated E spaces near
the stadium.

Parking enforcement will not ticket until Sept. 4 to allow students time to purchase the appropriate passes, which can be ordered online or at the Office of Parking Operations on Fess Avenue.

E passes are $57.76 for the fall semester or $110.88 for the school year. F passes, which allow students to park in designated areas from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m., are also available, costing students $27.92 for the fall semester or $55.44 for the year.

Tellas said students have largely been understanding when it comes to the shortage of residential parking.

“They realize construction is an issue,” he said. “I want to thank students for
their patience.”
