2. Why are Parking Permit Increases Necessary?
The master plan emphasizes the goal of a pedestrian-friendly, safe, walkable campus. This results in fewer parking spaces in the campus core.
Master plan shows need for 2,400 additional spaces in the next 10 years. The most efficient and effective way is a parking garage.
Revenues are necessary to:
Increase operating costs at 3% per year.
Maintain current parking inventory (current cost is $112 a space per year).
Build and maintain new lots and an eventual parking deck.
Build reserves for future bond covenants.
