SNOW and PARKING update

Accuweather is predicting 2 to 4 inches of snow from 4 p.m. today through 4 a.m. tomorrow with no wind and no drifting. Our weather response plan is to have one grounds crew working this evening to clear snow as it falls on walks, with four student shoveling crew members clearing snow from building entrances. At 5 a.m. tomorrow the full grounds crew will begin removing snow to be ready for classes in the morning.

As usual, if Mother Nature changes her mind, we’ll adjust accordingly. Please remember to drive and walk carefully and dress for the weather.

Here is the planned schedule for parking lot cleaning which reflects changes requested by several departments to minimize impact on planned programs. The changes are in the Hackman Lots alternative parking areas and the times for having your vehicles moved from these lots.

For smaller storms we clear the driveways in the student lots and wait for the snow around student vehicles to melt. However, last week’s storm left far too much snow for this snow removal strategy to be effective. With this much accumulated snow in the student lots we will need to have all student vehicles removed, the lots fully cleaned and student vehicles returned to their assigned lots. The Young Center and Chapel lots will be the temporary parkinglots for student vehicles while other parkinglots are cleaned.

Lot Location (where you are currently parked)	MOVE your vehicle to: (temporary alternative parking)	DATE/TIME (when you must *move your vehicle)*	DATE/TIME *(when you can return to original parking lot)*
Brown Lot	Young Center OR Chapel Lots	Wednesday, 2/17 BY 8 a.m.	Thursday, 2/18 7 a.m.
Quads Lot	Young Center OR Chapel Lots	Thursday, 2/18 BY 8 a.m.	Friday, 2/19 8 a.m.
Hackman Lots (north and south)	Young Center, Chapel Lots, Brown Lot, Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren Lot	Saturday, 2/20 BY 3 p.m.	Saturday, 2/21 midnight *Vehicles MUST be moved off the church lot by 8 a.m. for church services !*
Cedar Street	Young Center OR Chapel lots	Monday, 2/22 BY 8 a.m.	Tuesday, 2/23 8 a.m.
Myer Lot	Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren	Monday, 2/22 BY 8 a.m. Parking only on left side of lot. Look for signs.	Tuesday, 2/23 8 a.m.

Please remove all snow from your vehicles in the lot where it is normally parked so we can remove the snow during our clean up operations.

Also, as is our normal practice, you can borrow snow shovels at the Facilities Management office at the Brown Building between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays. Snow shovels are also available at Campus Security 24/7.

Memo from Dave Denter Regarding Student Parking in Myer Lot 1

Senate — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:08:24 +0000

To: College Community

From: Dave Dentler – Vice President for Administration

Re: Student Parking Now Available in Myer Lot I

Date: November 1, 2009

Recently, the Campus Security Department and the Facilities Planning and Construction Committee performed a review of current campus parking needs for students. In response to this review, a determination was made to allow for additional student parking spaces from existing spaces in Lot I, located on the west side of Myer Hall that faces the Campus Security office. Currently, Lot I is available for faculty/staff and commuter parking.

In order to allow for additional student parking spaces given current demand, beginning November 8, 2009, Lot I will be changed to accommodate resident student parking, including resident sophomore students. This will allow for 47 additional spaces designated for student parking needs.

Please note that faculty and staff parking continues to be available in the Church of the Brethren lot located across the street from the Myer lot. More than 70 spaces are available for faculty/staff parking on the left side of the church lot (right side is reserved for church only and will be enforced).

First-year students are not permitted to park in Lot I during the week, but are permitted to park in Lot I after 4 p.m. on Friday until 2 a.m. on Monday mornings. Designated “No Parking” areas in Lot I will be strictly enforced, as service vehicles and Copy Services customers will continue to have access to the Myer facility.

The Lot I parking assignment change will remain in effect until the end of the fall semester. At that time, we will reevaluate the change for effectiveness and inform the community if further changes are needed. Thanks in advance for your cooperation as we look to address and improve upon our student parking availability. Please let me or director of campus security, Jack Longenecker, know if you have questions.
