A Letter to Traffic & Parking at FAU
Basco said
I was surprised by the amount of people parking along all the grass during the first 2 days of school.
They're still parking pretty much anywhere they want. I think it's kind of cool, actually.
FAU doesn't care for it, of course. Temporary posts are in the ground with police line tape between them along the edges near IRT so people don't park there. People who do park in the grass are apparently only getting warnings this week, not tickets. At least that's what the Shuttle Driver, who works for T&P, told me. He also told me that a new parking lot with 300 spaces is supposed to be built on the south side of GPT - over by the electrical station, where the construction guys for GPT parked - starting next week.
The author in the link is wrong though. GPT is only ~600 students, not 1000. No single dorm on campus houses 1000 (until Innovation Village Apts are built). She is right about this though: "As if parking here were scarce enough, our parking lot is going to be taken over by a theater? The engineering of parking at FAU is asinine." You could argue that they had to build the new building/theater there because it's a media program and needs to be close to Performing Arts, the theater, etc as a programming cluster. But it could be built just south of Parking Garage 2 (a short distance away) and be fine there as well.
I knew this would be a problem. FAU knew it would be a problem. Yet they chose to build a parking lot on the north side of the Breezeway first? Why?
