In every lot after 11 a.m., you will see cars parked illegally alongside each and every parking median. It may be illegal but people still park there. The reasoning is that there is nowhere else to park. During these times, the parking garage is full as well. If you are unlucky enough to even try the garage, you may end up going all the way to the top, then all the way back down with nothing to show for your efforts but a headache from the fumes and your own frustration.
Students go around and around in circles trying to find a parking space.
The cars look like a fishing fleet trawling for spots instead of fish. It s getting downright dangerous out there. Speeding doesn t give you an edge over the parking competition, yet the impulse to haul booty is perfectly understandable. We need a solution to this problem immediately before students start leaving campus when they see the parking situation. We ve come close to doing just that many times.
