With the limited overnight parking in the Bull lot, if we cannot find a spot we are forced to park further away from our apartments. At night this is a large concern because it is not well lit and not near any buildings to provide a sense of security if something were to happen. With the tragic events of this past fall and attacks on students in the past, I personally do NOT feel comfortable walking at night from my car to my apartment.

I am a full-time student teacher right now. There is hardly any parking when I get home around 4pm and I then have to walk ten minutes to my car the next morning at 7am. It is frustrating that there are closer spots unused and that we're fined for using them overnight even when we pay for a parking pass.

I would like to point out that if more parking was available for those who live in the HP's there would less of an issue for those who live in the 6 pack, Mahaffey, and Dana. Since upperclassmen in the HP's don't always have enough space to park they may sometimes choose to park in areas nearer to underclassmen dorms. This is a campus wide issue, and adding parking for HP residents would really reduce it.

I myself am a music student and I can honestly say that the Musoc Building's parking lot does not need to be completely off limits for overnight parking. There are really not that many faculty members in the music department, and of those few members some of them only are on campus one or two days a week, so they really do not need that much reserved parking. Most students who have classes in the music building walk there and do not need priority for parking, either. The priority should be given to students living in or near the HP's so they can have a safe place close to their apartment to park overnight.

Seeing as students and professors park during the day, it makes sense to have non-overnight spots, but another row or two of overnight would be appreciated and would likely still leave sufficient room for the music building.

I think this is a very good idea because the parking by the HPs is extremely limited and because I was a victim of my car getting hit being parked on Lever I don't always feel comfortable having my car parked there and when I am coming back to park at night and there isn't any parking I don't feel safe parking across campus and walking back by myself.

Please consider this! It would make a huge difference!

Turning regular spots to overnight spots would cost you nothing.
