Worcester State College Campus News
Item PARKING UPDATE -
10/30/07
President Ashley and members
of the Executive Leadership Team have approved the following changes to
parking areas on campus:
-
18 staff parking spaces
previously located behind the Administration Building will be
replaced and will be located along the back wall of the Sullivan
Building and in the Student Center lot
-
6 parking spaces will be
designated for “Admissions” and will be along the May Street lot at
the back end of the Sullivan Auditorium to be used for groups coming
for tours, etc.
-
Shuttle Van Service to
the airport will be terminated on November 9, 2007
· Faculty
and staff members who wish to park in the parking garage along with the
commuter students may do so by purchasing a “C” hangtag at the same rate
charged to students. This fee will contribute to the debt service on
the garage. Faculty and staff will still be able to obtain the
appropriately designated hangtag “F” or “E” at no charge which allows
them to park in the general parking in surface lots. No one will be
allowed to park in the garage without the appropriate “C” hangtag. A "C"
hangtag costs $100 for the year or $60 per semester.
PARKING AND TRAFFIC FLOW
UPDATE - 10/04/07
Following a review of the traffic flow pattern
instituted at the beginning of the semester, we have now determined that
the congestion of pedestrian traffic exiting from the garage does not
necessitate the roadway in front of the Admin Village to be one way
only. Therefore, commencing on Tuesday, October 9th, the
following traffic patterns will be in effect: roadway will be open to
two way traffic.
-
Traffic in front of the Admin Village
will be two way traffic
-
The roadway/hill
between the LRC and the garage will be two lanes and ONE WAY
-
The left hand land
will be for the garage entrances and the right hand lane will lead
to upper campus/residence halls
-
Exiting the campus may
now be done so at both the North and South gates and will help to
eliminate congestion at these points
